Panorama Antenna Sw3-704 Compact Low Profile Mimo Instruction Manual

SW3-704 Compact Low Profile MiMo

Product Information: LP[G]AM Series Antenna

The LP[G]AM antenna series is designed for M2M / IOT
applications requiring MiMo / diversity support. It has a rugged,
low profile housing with two elements supporting 4G/3G/2G and
3.5GHz 5G bands. The LG version incorporates an active GPS /GNSS
antenna. The antenna comes with integral 1 or 3m length RG174
coaxial cables.

Electrical Safety Note: This product contains
an active GPS/GNSS antenna. Rated voltage: 3-5VDC Rated current:
20mA maximum. The supply to this device must be provided with
over-current protection of 1A maximum.

Ground plane requirement: This antenna range
does not require a conductive ground plane in order to operate.
Performance will vary slightly depending on whether a ground plane
is present or not.

Product Usage Instructions: LP[G]AM Series Antenna

1. Select a mounting location for the antenna. Ensure that there
   is adequate under panel clearance. Measure to check for central
   position if applicable.
2. If the antenna will be co-located with other antennas or roof
   mounted equipment, please ensure at least 30cm (12) of clearance
   around the L[G]AM antenna in order to avoid de-tuning and
   interference issues.
3. Prepare and drill a hole of size 19mm (3/4). Mask panel area
   around hole position to protect paintwork and headliner. Drill a
   pilot hole first and then increase to 19mm while ensuring that
   drill/cutter bit does not contact headliner. Clean the area around
   the hole, carefully removing all swarf. Remove paint and primer
   from under panel surface to ensure adequate earth contact by washer
   and nut. Apply some petroleum jelly or paint around the hole to
   prevent corrosion.
4. Fit the antenna into the drilled hole.
5. Route the coaxial cables to the radio equipment, taking care to
   avoid running them adjacent to any existing wiring or fouling any
   moving components. When installing the antenna on a vehicle, the
   cables must not be routed in front of any airbag device. SMA plug
   connectors are fitted as standard, which should suit most devices,
   if not, use an adaptor or change connector(s) as required.
6. Commission and test the installation. Check GPS/GNSS cable (if
   applicable): Check the GPS/GNSS cable with DC to measure high
   resistance. Connect the GPS/GNSS cable to the GPS/GNSS receiver and
   check for satellite acquisition. Check comms cables: Carry out VSWR
   check, the VSWR on all feeds should measure.

1. Introduction
The L[G]AM antenna series is designed for M2M / IOT applications requiring MiMo / diversity support. The antenna has a rugged, low profile housing with two elements supporting 4G/3G/2G and 3.5GHz 5G bands and has integral 1 or 3m length RG174 coaxial cables. The LG version incorporates an active GPS /GNSS antenna.
Electrical Safety Note This product contains an active GPS/GNSS antenna. Rated voltage: 3-5VDC Rated current: 20mA maximum. The supply to this device must be provided with over-current protection of 1A maximum.

2. Mounting requirements and selecting location
Select a mounting location. Ensure that there is adequate under panel clearance. Measure to check for central position if applicable.
If the antenna will be co-located with other antennas or roof mounted equipment please try to ensure at least 30cm (12″) of clearance around the L[G]AM antenna in order to avoid de-tuning and interference issues.
Ground plane requirement. This antenna range does not require a conductive ground plane in order to operate. Performance will vary slightly depending on whether a ground plane is present or not.

3. Prepare and drill hole

Hole 19

Mask panel area around hole position to protect paintwork and headliner. Drill a pilot hole, and then increase to 19mm (3/4″), ensuring that drill/cutter bit does not contact headliner. Clean area around the hole, carefully removing all swarf. Remove paint and primer from under panel surface to ensure adequate earth contact by washer and nut. Apply some petroleum jelly or paint around the hole to prevent corrosion.

4. Fitting the antenna
Remove the protective backing from the underside of the antenna and feed the coaxial cables through the panel. Position the antenna over the hole ensuring correct orientation and stick the antenna to the panel by applying firm downward pressure. Assemble the nut and washer from underside and tighten ­ the maximum recommended mounting torque is 5Nm (3.7ft/lb).
5. Routing and terminating coaxial cable(s)
Route the coaxial cables to the radio equipment, taking care to avoid running them adjacent to any existing wiring or fouling any moving components. When installing the antenna on a vehicle, the cables must not be routed in front of any airbag device SMA plug connectors are fitted as standard, which should suit most devices, if not, use an adaptor or change connector(s) as required.

6. Commission and test
Check GPS/GNSS cable (if applicable): Check the GPS/GNSS cable with DC to measure high resistance. Connect the GPS/GNSS cable to the GPS/GNSS receiver and check for satellite acquisition. Check comms cables: Carry out VSWR check, the VSWR on all feeds should measure <3:1 in transmit band. Connect the Cellular/LTE cables.

7. Notices
CAUTION To comply with FCC RF Exposure requirements in section 1.1310 of the FCC Rules, antennas used with this device must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons to satisfy RF exposure compliance.
DO NOT: · operate the transmitter when someone is within 20 cm of the antenna. · operate the equipment in an explosive atmosphere.
