SAFETY
The HP J9170A and all associated equipment should be installed in
accordance with applicable local and national electrical code guidelines
to ensure safe operation.
Before connecting an outdoor antenna to an HP Wireless Access Point,
be sure that the access point radio power levels are set in accordance
with local regulatory requirements. For information on setting radio
power levels, see
Points Management and Conguration Guide
For mandatory antenna power settings by country/region, look for
Antenna Power-Level Setting Guide (for MSM products)
www.hp.com/networking/support.
Please read all instructions carefully before attempting to
install and use this product.

DESCRIPTION
The HP J9170A is a dual-band, point-to-point directional panel antenna
for use in 802.11n MIMO applications. Enclosed in a compact, low-prole
radome, the antenna is mounted to a rugged, articulating mount. The
mount can be afxed to a mast or anchored to a wall.
Each of the three MIMO antenna elements are connected to the access
point via low-loss, plenum-rated coaxial pigtails. The radiation patterns
are uniform and symmetrical, providing high-level signal density into
dened coverage zones.
This antenna will greatly enhance the performance of 802.11n systems.
The dual-band frequency coverage means that a single antenna can be
deployed with any MIMO radio in the 2.4-2.5 GHz or 5.1-5.9 GHz bands.
ANTENNA PORTS
Antenna cable port identifaction and polarization is as follows:
• Port 1 (Blue), vertically polarized
• Port 2 (Red), vertically polarized
• Port 3 (Green), horizontally polarized
Respect color coding when connecting to the access point (AP).

ANTENNA LOCATION
This is an outdoor antenna, but it may also be used indoors. For best
results, mount the J9170A facing towards the center of the coverage
area. A line-of-sight path between the antenna and active area works
best. Avoid mounting next to a column or vertical support that could
create a shadow zone and reduce coverage.
ASSEMBLY AND MOUNTING
The J9170A is shipped with a heavy duty articulating mounting kit (HP
5070-6360) that provides wide-range articulation in both the azimuth and
elevation planes. The kit allows mounting on a mast (up to 2 inches or 5.1
cm), or on a wall using wall anchors.

INSTALLATION
BRACKET
ASSEMBLY
Assemble and mount the antenna as follows.
(See Figure 1 for wall mount and Figure 2 for pole/mast mount.)
1. Attach the antenna mount (1) to the exposed studs on the back of the
antenna using 4 SS 1/4”-20 hex nuts (10), 4 1/4”-20 SS at washers (8)
and 4 1/4”-20 SS lock washers (9)
2. Secure one side of the articulating arm (2) with 1 SS [M8] washer
external serrated (7), to the antenna mount (1) using 1 Bolt size SS
5/16”x 1-5/8”(5), 1 SS 5-16” split lock wash (4), 2 SS at washer 5-16”
(3) and 1 hex nut 5-16” (6) assemble as shown.
3. For mounting on a wall:
a. Using the other supplied antenna mount bracket (1) as a template
to mark holes locations, for drilling see wall diagram gure 3 for
holes size.
b. Install 4 wall expansion anchors (12).
c. Install to wall the antenna mount bracket using four SS HEX
1/4”-20 screws (13), 4 SS 1/4”-20 at washers (8), 4 1/4”-20 lock
washer (9). Or, for mounting on a pole or mast, attach the two hose
clamps (11) to antenna mount bracket (1) and encircle the pole with
each clamp and tighten.
4. Attach the pre-assembled antenna with both (1) and (2) to the other
bracket (previously mounted) using 1 SS washer external serrated (7),
using 1 Bolt size SS 5/16” 1-5/8” (5), 1 SS 5-16”split lock washer (4), 2
SS at washer 5-16” (3) and 1 hex nut (6) 5-16” assemble as shown.
Use the screw (5) to attach the free end of the articulating arm to the
mount and then secure it in place with SS hex nut (6).
5. Loosen the pivot screws (1-5/8” bolt screw (5)) as needed to position
the antenna for desired azimuth and elevation. When the antenna is
fully adjusted, tighten all hardware securely.

LIGHTNING ARRESTER
WARNING: PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION REQUIRED: Prior to
installing or using this device, consult with a professional installer
trained in RF installation and knowledgeable in local regulations
including building and wiring codes, safety, channel, power, indoor/
outdoor restrictions, and license requirements for the intended
country. It is the responsibility of the end user to ensure that
installation and use comply with local safety and radio regulations.
Warning: Surge protection and grounding: When connecting an
outdoor antenna, make sure that proper lightning surge protection
and grounding precautions are taken in accordance with local
electrical codes. Failure to do so may result in personal injury, fire,
equipment damage, or a voided warranty. The HP hardware warranty
does not cover damage caused by static discharge or lightning strike.
For outdoor applications, it is strongly recommended that you install a
lightning arrester (HP J8996A or equivalent) for each port of the
antenna. Lightning arresters must be purchased separately.
For best results, install the lightning arrester in close proximity to a
low-resistance ground at a point where the coaxial cable enters the
building
weatherproof coaxial connectors with a suitable mastic or rubberized
tape to prevent water incursion. See Photo 2.
To connect the lightning arrester to the ground, use a very short and
direct run of # 10 solid copper wire, or equivalent. Ensure that the
other end of the grounding wire connects to a true earth ground
according to the NFPA 70 National Electrical Code and/or all pertinent
local codes.
or attaches to an AP. For exterior installations, use
Be sure to install the lightning arrester in an accessible location that
permits periodic inspection and replacement (as needed).
Provide drip loops in cables to prevent water from entering the
building. See Photo 3.
