4. Setup and Installation
The LINOVISION ANT-5GCombo7 antenna is designed for outdoor roof mounting. Follow these steps for secure and effective installation.
4.1 Site Selection
- Choose a location on the roof that is clear of obstructions (e.g., metal structures, large equipment) to ensure optimal signal reception.
- Ensure the mounting surface is flat and sturdy enough to support the antenna.
- Consider the cable routing path to the cellular router, ensuring the 3-meter cables can reach without excessive tension or sharp bends.
4.2 Mounting Steps
- Drill a Hole: Drill a 0.98 inch (25mm) diameter hole at the selected mounting location on the roof. Ensure the hole is clean and free of debris.
- Insert Antenna: Carefully insert the antenna's threaded base through the drilled hole from the outside.
- Secure with Nut: From the inside, thread the securing nut onto the antenna's base and tighten it firmly to secure the antenna to the roof. Ensure a watertight seal.
- Connect Cables: Connect the 4x SMA Male connectors to the 5G LTE ports on your compatible router, the 2x RP-SMA Male connectors to the Wi-Fi ports, and the 1x SMA Male connector to the GNSS port. Ensure all connections are finger-tight.
4.3 Compatible Routers
This antenna is compatible with most 5G LTE cellular routers that feature 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 antenna interfaces. Specifically, it is designed to work with Teltonika routers such as RUTM50, RUTC50, RUTX50, and TRB500 (equivalent to Teltonika PR1KC640).
5. Operating Instructions
Once installed and connected to a compatible router, the antenna operates passively to enhance signal reception for 5G LTE, Wi-Fi, and GNSS. No specific configuration is required for the antenna itself.
- Ensure your router is powered on and configured according to its own user manual to utilize the external antenna connections.
- For optimal performance, ensure the antenna is mounted in a location with a clear line of sight to cellular towers and GNSS satellites.
6. Maintenance
The LINOVISION ANT-5GCombo7 antenna is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check the antenna for any physical damage, loose connections, or signs of wear.
- Cleaning: If necessary, gently clean the antenna housing with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the surface.
- Cable Integrity: Ensure the cables remain securely connected to the router and are not pinched or damaged.
7. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your antenna, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- No Signal / Weak Signal:
- Verify all antenna cables are securely connected to the correct ports on your router.
- Ensure the antenna is mounted in an unobstructed location with a clear line of sight.
- Check your router's settings to confirm it is configured to use external antennas.
- Test the signal strength in different locations if possible.
- Intermittent Connectivity:
- Inspect cables for any damage or loose connections.
- Ensure the antenna is firmly mounted and not subject to movement.
- Check for potential sources of interference near the antenna or cables.
- GPS/GNSS Inaccuracy:
- Confirm the GNSS cable is connected to the correct port on your router.
- Ensure the antenna has a clear view of the sky for satellite reception.
