  • Antenna and antenna cable are supplied separately.

  • Mount the antenna external to the building

  • Never mount antenna inside an equipment enclosure or building

  • The antenna must be placed a minimum of 3 meters from sensitive electronic signalling equipment such as SSI.

  • The antenna features a magnetic mounting base. If this is not suitable, contact MPEC to discuss alternate mounting arrangements.

  • The antenna is to be mounted upright, with the “whip” element pointing skyward.

  • Ideally the antenna shall be placed clear of large structures and earthworks.

  • Bear in mind during placement that the antenna may need relocating during commissioning if inadequate signal strength is available.

  • A minimum12 mm circular aperture is required to route the antenna cable into the building / enclosure.

  • If the building or enclosure structure must be pierced to run the antenna cable, ensure this is done in a responsible manner using appropriate tools. Any new openings must be appropriately sealed against moisture ingress and rodent attack.

  • route the antenna cable using appropriate cable management from antenna to SLX device.

  • Avoid sharp radius bends and never bend the antenna cable tighter than a 13mm radius.

  • Avoid running the antenna cable directly parallel and close to sensitive digital signal cables, such as SSI data links.

  • Do not attempt to shorten or lengthen the cable unless competent to do so and in possession of the appropriate tools and connectors.

  • MPEC offer a range of antenna cable lengths, so please contact MPEC if the standard 5m cable is inappropriate.

  • Hand tighten the hexagonal SMA connector to terminal W1 of the S-LX compute module. Do not use tools to over-tighten.

  • Hand tighten the round TNC connector to the antenna base. Do not use tools to over-tighten.

Connect AC Power Supply

  • The HZS PSU and Port Isolator plug connector features six terminals:

    • 2 x BX terminals. The terminals are electrically common and accept the “live” connection to the incoming AC power supply.

    • 2 x NX terminals. The terminals are electrically common and accept the “neutral” connection to the incoming AC power supply.

    • 2 x E terminals. The terminals are electrically common and provide a protective earth connection to the incoming AC power supply.

  • Each terminal features a spring-cage contact to prevent accidental contact with hazardous live voltage. Guidelines for successful connection are as follows

Connect Serial, Ethernet or USB Connection
