You can mount the antennae for the cellular module in three locations as follows:

•

Directly on the FACU that the CSGM is installed in.

•

On the wall using an extension cable or bracket.

•

Directly on the CSGM external box.

Notes: 
•

You can use a combination of the mounting locations listed above for installations requiring more than
one antenna.

•

The cables and antennae included in the cellular module kit are identical. You can use either antenna as
the primary or secondary antenna mounting.

•

The antennae are omni-directional. You do not need to align them to a particular compass direction.

Consult the following guidelines before mounting the antenna directly on the 4100ES, 4010ES, or 
4007ES FACUs:

•

The antenna cables are 36 inches long. They reach all areas on top of the 4100ES and
4010ES FACUs with the CSGM mounted in the top bay.

•

The antenna cables reach all areas of the 4007ES FACU.

•

When you are flush-mounting a 4007ES, leave at least two inches of wall protrusion to mount
the antenna.

•

Run the antenna cables as power-limited wiring.

•

Always vertically align the primary antenna. You can mount this antenna close to either the
top left or right edge of the FACU to conserve space on the unit for conduit entry. See Figure
4.

•

Mount the secondary antenna vertically at least 5.5 inches (14 cm) away from the primary
antenna and other antennae. Alternatively, you can mount the secondary antenna at a 90
degree angle from the primary antenna at the side of the FACU, without spacing restrictions.
See Figure 5.

•

If you choose to mount the secondary antenna on the side of the FACU, place it opposite the
hinge side of the door, and at least TBD away from adjunct FACUs.

•

Position antennae at least 5.5 inches (14 cm) away from cables, conduit, and metal
structures.
