Mounting a Wireless Antenna to an Enclosure,
Conduit, or Antenna Mast
This installation involves mounting a stub antenna to an enclosure,
conduit end, or antenna mast. The antenna is a threaded-mount,
encapsulated, 2 ½-inch diameter Antenex TRA1503P Stub with a
5/8-inch – 24 threaded mounting stud (ADS p/n 3800-0140 for
SMA connector; 3800-0141 for TNC connector). The antenna
requires a separate cable (ADS p/n 507176) that attaches to the
mounting stud. Mount the stub antenna based on the object to which
it will be secured.
 Enclosure Mount the stub antenna to an existing enclosure as
follows:
 Drill a 5/8-inch diameter hole through the top of the
enclosure.
 Place the o-ring (included) over the mounting stud, and
then insert the mounting stud through the hole in the top of
the enclosure.
 Secure the stub antenna to the closure using the washer and
nut from the bottom.
 Attach the large male N-type connector from the antenna
cable to the threaded stud on the antenna, and use rubber
stretch tape and sealer at the connection.
 Run the other end of the cable to the monitor, and attach
the connector to the RADIO port on top of the monitor.
Note: If the antenna cable has the SMA connector, first
attach the SMA-to-TNC adaptor (ADS p/n 507173) to the
RADIO connector port on the monitor and then attach the
cable connector to the adaptor.
 Wrap rubber stretch tape (ADS p/n 507193) around the
entire cable connection, extending onto the cable
approximately 2 inches beyond the connection.
