Connect antennas for FDAP1/FDAP2
Antennas play a critical role in the setup and operation of wireless mesh systems. Depending upon the results of
the site assessment and the requirements of the installed environment, proper antenna type (omni-directional
versus directional, low-gain versus high-gains, and so on) should be determined. The various types of antennas
offered with FDAP1/FDAP2 enhance the wireless coverage of the field devices in multi-path environment. It is
recommended to use same antenna type and gain on both antennas for optimum performance.
Attention
After the antennas are connected, the connections should be sealed to protect them from the external environment. In
environments where conductive deposits can accumulate on antenna such deposits must be removed to maintain
optimum RF characteristics. The conduit openings at the bottom of the
