MiHub 1.5 XR Installation & Operation Manual 6 MiHub 1.5 XR Installation & Operation: The MiHub 1.5 XR main unit is a 7.3” x 10.4” x 3.7” NEMA 4 plastic box which contains weighs approximately 2.5 lbs. It dissipates between 4 watts (standby) & 15 watts (worst case scenario). Typically, the MiHub 1.5 XR is fastened to a tower support or wall of a collocated structure and then power is attached & applied. A MiHub 1.5 XR unit has both GPRS (side mounted) & 915 MHz (remotely mounted) antennas. The GPRS antenna is mounted to the side of the MiHub 1.5 XR main unit as shown in figure 1. The 915 MHz antenna connection is located on the bottom side of the main enclosure. An antenna cable is run from this connector to the RF power amplifier which is typically located at the top of the tower. The power amplifier is then connected to a band‐pass filter and the filter is connected to the antenna. The 915 MHz antenna package including the power amplifier, filter and antenna may be located up to 200 feet from the main enclosure. Figure 1: MiHub 1.5 XR with 915 MHz & GPRS.
