Connecting the mobile network antenna

Important:
  • To ensure the correct functionality, only use antennas that are supplied by the manufacturer.
  • When using extension cables, the total length of the cable connection to the antenna must not exceed 30 m.

The standard antenna (Portable antenna multi band FME-F , 206.826) is directly attached to the antenna connector (see Front of the 4-Channel Data Logger ) of the 4-Channel Data Logger . In the event of a low radio signal strength, you can use the Dome antenna multi band FME-F 3m(301211).

If the distance between the antenna position and the 4-Channel Data Logger is too great, you can use a 5 m Extension cable for antenna FME-F/FME-M 5m (206.805).

  1. Ensure that the 4-Channel Data Logger is de-energised.
  2. If you need an antenna extension, connect it to the antenna first.
  3. Connect the antenna extension or antenna directly to the antenna connector of the 4-Channel Data Logger (see Front of the 4-Channel Data Logger ).
    Important: Do not apply too much force when tightening the antenna. Do not use any tools to tighten the antenna or antenna extension; only tighten it manually.
  4. Switch the power supply of the 4-Channel Data Logger back on.
    5. The following step is not mandatory.
  5. Check whether the connection to the myDatanet  server has worked correctly (see Testing communication with the device).
