When installing the antenna, take extreme care not to come into contact with such circuits, as they may cause serious injury or death. For proper installation and grounding of the antenna, please refer to national and local codes (e.g. U.S.: NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, Article 810, Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54). Statement 2801. Before you install an antenna, contact your Cisco account representative to explain which mounting method to use for the size and type of antenna that you are about to install.2. Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance, in mind. Remember that electric power lines and phone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any overhead line can kill you.3. Contact your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come look at your proposed installation.4. Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Each person involved in an installation should be assigned to a specific task and should know what to do and when to do it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue instructions and watch for signs of trouble.5. When installing your antenna, follow these guidelines:—Do not use a metal ladder.—Do not work on a wet or windy day.—Do dress properly—wear shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket.6. If the assembly starts to drop, move away from it and let it fall. Because the antenna, mast, cable, and metal guy wires are all excellent conductors of electrical current, even the slightest touch of any of these parts to a power line completes an electrical path through the antenna and the installer.7. If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, do not touch it or try to remove it yourself. Call your local power company to have it removed safely.8. If an accident should occur with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately.Note: The antenna port caps must be removed before using, but the unused ports should remain capped to provide an IP67 seal. All port or antenna connection must be terminated by an IP67 rated cap or cable.
24Installing the Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module Installing AntennasAntenna Connector LocationsThe Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module is equipped with two N-type radio frequency (RF) connectors (antenna ports 1 and 2) on the top of the unit for LoRa antennas, and one TNC connector on the left of the unit for the GPS antenna, as shown in Figure 4 on page 24. The LoRa antennas should be connected to the chassis via an appropriate low-loss RF coax cable, for the Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module to work properly. The LoRa antennas should be installed closely to the Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module to reduce the signal strength loss on the feed cable as much as possible. Note: Refer to the data sheet for the antenna specifications.Note: The antenna port caps must be removed before using, but the unused ports should remain capped and hand tighted (not too much) to provide an IP67 seal. All port or antenna connection must be terminated by an IP67 rated cap or cable.Figure 4 Antenna ConnectorsConnecting the LoRa AntennasThe LoRa antennas should be connected to the chassis via an appropriate low-loss RF coax cable, for the Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module to work properly. The LoRa antennas should be installed closely to the Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module to reduce the signal strength loss on the feed cable as much as possible. The antennas must be installed at half a wavelength apart from each other.1TNC connector for GPS antenna 2N-Type connectors for LoRa antennas

The Cisco lightning arrestor limits the amplitude and duration of disturbing interference voltages and improves the over voltage resistance of in-line equipment, systems, and components. A lightning arrestor installed according to these mounting instructions balances the voltage potential, thus preventing inductive interference to parallel signal lines within the protected system.1GPS antenna and mount bracket 3TNC connector for GPS antenna2GPS antenna cable
27 Installing the Cisco LoRaWAN Interface ModuleInstalling AntennasInstallation ConsiderationsCisco recommends that you bulkhead mount the lightning arrestor so it can be installed as a wall-feed through on the wall of the protected space.The importance of obtaining a good ground and bonding connection cannot be overstressed. Consider these points when grounding the lightning arrestor:Connect the lightning arrestor components directly to the grounding point.The contact points of the ground connection must be clean and free of dust and moisture.Tighten threaded contacts to the torque specified by the manufacturer.Installation NotesThis lightning arrestor is designed to be installed between the antenna cable that is attached to an outdoor antenna and the Cisco Aironet wireless device. You can install the lightning arrestor either indoors or outdoors. It can be connected directly to a wireless device having an external N connector. It can also be mounted inline or as a feed-through. Feed-through installations require 5/8 in. (16 mm) hole to accommodate the lightning arrestor.This lightning arrestor is part of a lightning arrestor kit. The kit contains a lightning arrestor and a grounding lug.When you install the lightning arrestor, follow the regulations or best practices applicable to lightning protection installation in your local area.Installing the Lightning Arrestor OutdoorsIf you install the lightning arrestor outdoors, use the supplied ground lug and a #6 stranded copper wire to connect it to a good earth ground, such as a ground rod. The connection should be as short as possible.
28Installing the Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module Grounding the DeviceFigure 7 Lightning Arrestor DetailsCable for the Lightning ArrestorCoaxial cable loses efficiency as the frequency increases, resulting in signal loss. The cable should be kept as short as possible because cable length also determines the amount of signal loss (the longer the run, the greater the loss).Cisco recommends a high-quality, low-loss cable for use with the lightning arrestor.Grounding the DeviceThe Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module must be grounded before connecting power.Warning: This equipment must be externally grounded using a customer-supplied ground wire before power is applied. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.
