Antennas
A choice of four antennas is o ered for the modems.
Contact an Applications Engineer for help in deter-
mining the best antenna for your application.
• 21831 0 dBd, ½ Wave Dipole Whip Antenna—
supports the 800 MHz band. It is intended for
locations that have strong cellular coverage. is
antenna attaches directly to the modem’s SMA
connector and must reside in an environmen-
tal enclosure or building. It has an articulating
knuckle joint that can be oriented vertically or at
right angles.
• 18285 1 dBd, Omnidirectional Antenna—covers
both the 800 MHz and 1.9 GHz bands. It includes
a mounting bracket for attaching the antenna to a
crossarm, tripod, tower, or pole. Connection to the
modem requires an antenna cable (see right column).
• 20679 800 MHz/0 dBd and 1.9 GHz/3 dBd
Omnidirectional Antenna—includes a mounting
bracket for attaching the antenna to a crossarm,
tripod, tower, or pole. Connection to the modem
requires an antenna cable (see right column).
• 10530 9 dBd, Yagi Antenna—supports the
800 MHz band and is intended for sites near the
edge of the cellular coverage. It includes a bracket
for attachment to a mast or pole (outer diameter
of up to 1.5” (3.8 cm)). Some sites may require
the CM230 mount (see Adjustable Angle Mount-
ing Kit). Connection to the modem requires an
antenna cable (see right column).
Antenna Cables/Surge Suppressor
Typically, a 21847 or COAXSMA-L cable is used with
a 18285, 20679, or 10530 antenna. Both of these cables
have a type N male connector on the antenna end and
an SMA connector on the transceiver end. ey di er
in their length:
• 21847 Antenna Cable with 12- Length
• COAXSMA-L Antenna Cable with User-speci ed
Length—enter cable length, in feet, a er the L.
Length should not exceed 20 (6 m).
Use the following when the modem is in an environ-
ment susceptible to lightning or electrostatic buildup:
• COAXNTN-L antenna cable with type N male to
type N male connectors (requires 19533)—specify
length, in feet, a er the L. Cable lengths longer
than 20 will weaken the signal strength.
• 19533 Antenna Surge Protector Kit—includes
one COAXSMA-L1.5 cable. A COAXNTN-L
cable is required (see above).
Adjustable Angle Mounting Kit
e CM230 Adjustable Angle Mounting Kit allows
the 10530 Yagi antenna to be aimed at the service
provider’s antenna.
Enclosures and Mounting Bracket
An ENC12/14, ENC14/16, or ENC16/18 environ-
mental enclosure can house the modem, datalogger,
and power supply. e modem is secured to the
enclosure’s backplate via the 14394 Mounting Bracket.
Base Station Requirements
• PC running PC400 or LoggerNet Datalogger
Support So ware.
• Access to the Internet.
Above are antennas used with the RavenXT-series digital
cellular modems. The 20679 antenna is not shown.
COAXNTN-L
Surge Suppressor
Installations that are susceptible to lightning should use the
COAXNTN cable and 19533 surge protector kit.
