How to install external antenna?

How to Install:

The standard small antenna is removed by rotating the brass collar anticlockwise. Then the lead of the  external antenna (High Gain Antenna) is screwed on in its place

Installation tips:

• Ensure the transmitter is placed at an outdoor exposed area with no obstructions.
• Locate the transmitter facing towards the closest 4G/phone tower if possible.
• Ring Solar Analytics while on-site, so that the Support Team can check the signal strength after the external antenna has been installed.

Extension Cables:

In cases where the Solar Smart Monitor is located within an indoor area or if the antenna cable is not long enough to extend the antenna transmitter, we recommend using extension cables which can be purchased from here.

Alternatively, you can use other extension cables that satisfy following criteria:

• Connector 1: SMA Plug (Male pin)

• Connector 2: SMA Jack (Female pin)

NOTE: Please make sure we minimise connectors as there will be losses per connectors. It is recommended to use a single 10m to 20m then rolled the excess length.
