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 MBM ) of the 4-Channel Data Logger MBM . 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 MBM 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 MBM 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 MBM (see Front of the 4-Channel Data Logger MBM ).
    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 MBM 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).
