Clarion/Hyperlink Bridge Kit Installation Manual Rev. A Page 10 ANTENNA SYSTEM CONNECTIONWarning The JX-4000 may only be operated using one of theapproved antenna kits described herein. All antennasystem components are equipped with unique connectors.Although these connectors may look similar to standardtypes they are not compatible with them. Attempting toattach standard connectors to system components cancause damage to the connectors and attached equipment.In addition, the JX-4000 External antenna port is equippedwith a special Antenna recognition function which disablesthe transmit function in the event a non-approved antennasystem is connected to the radio.Surveying the Antenna SiteBefore beginning system installation, emphasis should be placed on systemplanning. It is important that no large obstructions exist near the antenna, suchas retaining walls, chimneys, air-conditioning units or other antenna masts.These types of objects can have an impact on the antenna system performance.Plan to mount the antenna as high as possible. You will need enough mast toelevate the antenna approximately 15 feet above the roof or above anyobstruction that might be in the antenna's signal path.You will need to identify the location where the antenna cable will be routed. Ifyou run the antenna cable through the roof, a water-proof fitting will be required.Consult a building contractor or licensed electrician to help you with the routing ifnecessary. Take note of the length of the mast you will need and the type ofmounting hardware required. The amplified antenna kit is shipped with U-Boltmounting hardware which should be ideal for mounting the antenna andamplifier to most types of mast. Also, make plans on how you are going to talkto the person at the remote antenna while you are going through the antennaalignment procedure. For example, cellular phones or walkie talkies can beused.
Clarion/Hyperlink Bridge Kit Installation Manual Rev. A Page 11 Preparing for System InstallationWarning: These antennas are designed to be mounted in open areas suchas rooftops or building exterior walls. They are designed to be installed atleast 6 feet away from areas occupied by people. During systemoperation, always keep the antenna at least 1 foot away from your head.Warning: Before performing the following steps make certain that thereare not any power lines within 50 ft. If the mast should fall, either whileinstalling or during operation, contact with any power lines will be fatal orresult in a fire.The Antennas are designed to be mounted on an aluminum or steel mast with adiameter from 1-1/4 inches to 2-1/8 inches. A larger diameter mast would besuggested for a more durable installation. The system includes a 50 footantenna cable.Note: The antenna cable has proprietary connectors at each end.Although these connectors resemble standard “N” type connectors, theywill not mate with standard “N” connectors. Never attempt to attach adevice which is not supplied with the kit as it can cause severe damage tothe connectors.In addition to the kit contents, you will need a ground wire and wire ties.Mounting and Cabling the Antenna:Note: Different model antenna kits have different mounting requirements andprocedures. Refer to Appendix A in this manual for antenna mounting details.1. Attach the mast mounting hardware to a solid structure on your building(e.g., the roof itself, concrete bulkhead, vent pipe).2. Using the included mounting hardware, secure the antenna to the topsection of the mast (see Appendix A for details).3. If the kit contains a signal filter, then install the filter in-line between the 50 ft.cable and the antenna. Otherwise, screw one end of the 50 ft. directly ontothe antenna.4. Apply the included sealant tape around the joined connectors to preventcorrosion from the weather. Wrap the entire connection, overlapping eachlayer slightly to ensure a weather-tight seal.
Clarion/Hyperlink Bridge Kit Installation Manual Rev. A Page 12 5. Attach the one end of the antenna ground cable to the antenna mountingbracket or U-bolt and the other end to a building ground.6. Very carefully raise the mast and loosely secure it with the mast mountinghardware. Use the plastic wire ties to tie the antenna cable to the mastevery six to twelve inches.7. Aim the directional antenna in the direction of the building you will be linkedto. The omni-directional antennas should be mounted vertically and do notneed to be aimed as they radiate in a 360 degree pattern.8. Tighten the mast mounting screws. Do not do anything that would make itdifficult to change the position of the antenna. It may be necessary toreposition the antennas while aiming them.9. Route the antenna cable along the roof to the point where it enters thebuilding. From the inside, pull the cable through the hole and take up anyexcess slack.10. Attach the end of the 50 ft. antenna cable to the Lightning Protector. Attachthe 4 foot adapter cable between the Lightning Protector and the JX-4000.11. Attach a second ground wire to the ground lug on the Lightning Protectorand to a good building ground.12. Connect the JX-4000 to an “AUI-equipped” network hub using an “AUI”transceiver cable. A nearby network-connected workstation would be usefulduring system installation to verify proper operation.12. Plug the included 6.2 VDC power supply into the JX-4000 and then into thebuilding's AC power. Never use a power supply other than the one shippedwith the system as it may cause damage to the radio. It is furtherrecommended that the AC connection be through a commercially available"surge" protector power strip.

Appendix AAntenna Mounting Instructions
Mounting Instructions - HG2408U Omnidirectional AntennaThe included bracket should be used to attach the antenna to a standard antenna mastor tower leg. Proper positioning of the brackets is shown in the following diagram. For best results, first attach the bracket to the tower or structure using the included V-bolt. Then, install the antenna into the bracket and lock in place with the integral bolt.Note that the bracket should only be tightened around the aluminum base, and not thefiberglass radome of the antenna.
Mounting Instructions - HyperGain HG2414Y Directional Yagi AntennaYagi antennas are mounted using the included U-Bolts, Nuts, and Lock Washers as shown in thefollowing illustration:The antenna should be aimed as shown, in the direction of the other end of the wireless link.
Mounting Instructions - HyperGain HG2415Y Radome Enclosed Yagi AntennaThe antenna can be mounted to a mast or directly to an exterior wall as shown. The included U-boltsshould be used for mast mounting. Note that in either case, the metal backing plate should be placeddirectly behind the plastic flange in order to provide greater stability.
