D1 NW ANT 1 900 Antenna IF 1572 Installation & Maintenance Information SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE D1 NW ANT 1 900 antennas are UL Listed for the following locations: Class I, Division 1, Groups C, D, -40ºC ≤ Ta ≤ 85ºC. WARNING To prevent ignition of Groups C and D atmospheres, see Page 2 of this Instruction Sheet for atmospheres enclosure is suitable for. CAUTION To reduce the risk of ignition of hazardous atmospheres, disconnect equipment from supply before opening. Keep tightly closed when operating. DESCRIPTION D1 NW ANT 1 900 antennas are designed for use in hazardous locations. The antenna incorporates a flameproof barrier as well as a high quality explosionproof antenna. The antenna is equipped with a female TNC connector and a male 3⁄4” NPT fitting for quick installation. Figure 1. D1 NW ANT 1 900 Antenna CONDITIONS FOR SAFE USE To reduce the risk of ignition due to electrostatic discharge, avoid contact with the unit while an explosive atmosphere is present. Clean only with a damp cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners. INSTALLATION & FIELD WIRING Mounting & Installation D1 NW ANT 1 900 antennas are designed to be mounted in a female ⁄4” NPT boss. Always use high quality 50Ω coaxial cable when connecting to the antenna. To avoid unnecessary loss, the cable should be as short as practical and contain as few connectors as possible. The antenna will work in any direction, but vertical polarization is most efficient, and matching the transmitter and receiver polarization is recommended. Many factors can affect the performance of an antenna; generally, the higher the antenna, the better. Line-of-sight to the receiver/transmitter is also recommended. The overall performance will depend on many things, including the distance between receiver and transmitter, obstructions, radio power, RF noise, and Fresnal effect. This antenna is designed for indoor and outdoor use, and includes a rainproof seal. 3 For installation in the USA, install in compliance with NEC® 500 or NEC 505 as applicable. For all other areas, check local electrical codes for required installation parameters. Connect the antenna as follows: 1) Ensure all equipment is off before installation and that area is clear of potentially explosive atmospheres (see Page 2 for a list of acceptable atmospheres). Antenna to be mounted via the 3⁄4” NPT supply connection in an enclosure or other suitable device (e.g. conduit). Ratings: • • • Rated for seven Joule impact. Mount in a location where unit is protected from impact. Ambient temperature: -40ºC ≤ Ta ≤ 85ºC. Output: 2 Watts maximum; 800 MHz to 5.99 GHz 1) Base to radome joint base: 1-3/8 - 18 - UNEF - 2A; Radome 1-3/8 - 18 - UNEF - 2B, 7 threads engaged. 2) Connector to base joint: 3/8 - 32 UNEF 2B, 12 threads engaged 3) Set screw to base joint: #10-32 UNC 2B, 6 threads engaged Antennas have not been evaluated for resistance to light. CALIBRATION & MAINTENANCE The antenna has no serviceable parts and requires no adjustments or maintenance. Do not attempt to disassemble the antenna (doing so can damage the antenna). 2) Attach 50Ω TNC coaxial cable to the antenna and tighten. Optional Equipment: • Right angle mounting bracket for pole mount. 3) Attach the antenna to the 3⁄4” NPT of a suitable enclosure. Using a 1.25” wrench, tighten so that there is at least 5 threads of engagement. WARRANTY 4) Connect the cable to the transmitter/receiver. D1 NW ANT 1 900 are warranted to be free of defects due to workmanship or faulty components for a period of one year after shipment. 5) If required, a ground may be attached to the antenna using the #10 grounding screw provided. PROCEDURE FOR RETURNED GOODS 1) Obtain authorization from the factory by phone 866-764-5454 or fax 315-477-5179. Cooper Crouse-Hinds will assign an RMA number. 2) Carefully pack device and place RMA number on outside of box and on packing list. 3) Device will be inspected by Cooper Crouse-Hinds and customer will be notified of warranty.
