Antenna - SmartBridge

The internal antenna radiates as shown. The transmitting and receiving power is therefore different depending on the direction and is possibly influenced by the environment (sources of interference and/or metallic surfaces).

External antennas

Use the external antenna if any of the following problems occur.

  • Transmission and reception behaviour not stable
  • Range too short
  • Transmission and reception outdoors (LockNodes available outdoors)

The external antenna is suitable for outdoor use. This allows you to place the device in the protected area while the antenna is outdoors.

The scope of delivery of the external antenna includes:

  • Integrated magnetic base
  • Wall mounting material
  • Dowels and screws

You do not need to change any settings after connecting the external antenna. When the external antenna is connected, the device transmits via the internal and external antennas (the internal antenna is not disabled by connecting the external antenna).

  1. Power supply disconnected.
  1. Open the housing.
  2. Locate the connector socket on the circuit board.
  4. Connect the external antenna to the connector socket.
  5. The external antenna is connected.
  6. Close the housing again.
  1. The device transmits via internal and external antenna.
