Danger of intermodulation!
If you set up the antenna module and the wireless conference units too
close to one another, intermodulation can occur.
왘 Observe a minimum distance:
– of 1 m between the antenna module and the wireless conference
units and
– of 0.5 m between the wireless conference units.
The transmission range of the antenna module and the wireless conference units is approx. 30 m. The transmission range can vary
depending on location and environmental conditions such as wall
thickness, wall composition etc.
In some countries/regions (e.g. Canada), the use of wireless
components operating in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency band
(channel 5 to 8) is restricted to indoor use.

왘 Do not obstruct the antennas of the antenna module and the wire-
less conference units with any object.
왘 Set up the devices so that there is a “free line of sight” between the
wireless conference units and the antenna module.
왘 Place the antenna module as centrally as possible and above the
wireless conference units.
왘 Orient the 3 antennas of the antenna module so that they are par-
allel to each other and are directed at a 90° angle towards the wireless conference units.

Setting up and positioning the antenna module
< 10 m
> 10 m
We recommend using several antenna modules in rooms with
obstacles.
Ceiling mounting is recommended for rooms with a ceiling height of up
to approx. 10 m:
왘 Mount the antenna module to the center of the ceiling.
왘 Orient the antennas horizontally and at a 90° angle with respect to
the wireless conference units.
Wall mounting is recommended for rooms with a ceiling height of more
than 10 m because the wireless conference units have an omni-direc-
tional radiation pattern (approx. 30 m):
왘 Mount the antenna module to the wall at a height of max. 10 m
from the floor.
왘 Attach the antenna module upside down so that the antennas
point downwards.
왘 Slightly turn the antennas so that they are directed at a 90° angle
towards the wireless conference units.

Setting up and positioning the antenna module
To minimize restrictions in the transmission range:
왘 Avoid placing the antenna module outside the conference room,
behind support columns or boardings or next to other radio
equipment.
If necessary, use several antenna modules in order to provide
optimal antenna coverage.

Connecting the ADN-W AM antenna module
to the ADN CU1 central unit
왘 Use a system cable (supplied with the ADN-W AM; the maximum
cable length allowed is 50 m) to connect the PORT II socket or
PORT I socket of the ADN CU1 central unit to the input
socket of the antenna module.
If the power supplied to the antenna module via the system
cable is not sufficient (the antenna module does not switch on),
you have to power the antenna module using the NT 12-50C
power supply (see page 6).
Optionally, you can also connect the antenna module to the
PORT sockets of an ADN PS power supply. It does not matter if
you are using a string or ring topology. The antenna module is
connected just like a conference unit to the cable string or cable
ring.
