Fitting It, Step By Step.

• Choose the place first. Cellular Path asks that the outdoor location is checked against its criteria before any hole is drilled or any work begins.
• A pole. The rotator clamps to a pole 25 to 57 mm (1 to 2.25 in) across. Cellular Path's drawings show a J-pole, a roof sled and a straight pole.
• Room to turn. The antenna turns through 360 degrees, so nothing should be in its way.
• Cable length. The power and control cable is 15 m (50 ft) and runs from the rotator to the controller indoors, so plan the route first. Cellular Path lists extension cables of 15 m and 30 m (50 ft and 100 ft).
• A place for the controller. A shelf close to the booster or router, in an IT cupboard if there is one, or on a wall using the keyhole slots on its back. The controller is for indoor use.

The rotator and antenna go outdoors on the pole. A power and control cable runs indoors to the controller, which sits near the booster or router. Cellular Path draws the layout for each model. Each picture is a whole page of its manual, so the writing is small on a phone: turn the phone on its side or zoom in.

Smart 4G Model

No Modem Model, Router Indoors

No Modem Model, Router Outdoors

The outdoor steps are the same for both models.

1. 01

   Mount the rotator. Loosely attach the two V-bolts to the rotator with the four V-bolt nuts, with or without the clamps. Slide the rotator down over your pole and tighten the nuts so it sits about 25 to 50 mm (1 to 2 in) below the top of the pole. On a pole of 38 to 57 mm (1.5 to 2.25 in), take the clamps off the V-bolts first.

2. 02

   Add the pole. Slide the antenna pole onto the top of the rotator. Line up the notch in the pole with the tab on the rotator, seat it so the screw holes line up, and fasten it with the two pole screws.

3. 03

   Add the antenna. Fix your directional cellular antenna to the antenna pole with the brackets and hardware that come with that antenna.

4. 04

   Connect the cables. Connect the coax cable or cables to the antenna. Fix the cable clip to the antenna pole, just above the pole screws, to hold the coax. Connect the power and control cable to the rotator and route the cables into the building. Leave slack in the coax below the clip so the antenna can turn through 360 degrees: Cellular Path suggests 150 mm (6 in). Use zip ties where needed. The clip takes up to four coax cables.

Cellular Path's Pages For These Steps

1. 01

   Place it. Put the controller on a shelf close to your booster or router, preferably in an IT cupboard, or fix it to a wall using the keyhole slots on its back.

2. 02

   Antenna in. Connect the coax cable from the outdoor antenna to the antenna in port. The ports are SMA female, so you may need adapters for your coax connectors.

3. 03

   Cable out. Connect a coax jumper cable from the cable out port to your booster or cellular router.

4. 04

   Rotator cable. Plug the power and control cable from the rotator into the rotator connector on the controller.

5. 05

   Add a SIM. If you do not have permission to use the local Wi-Fi network for the remote connection, an active SIM is required. You need to know its access point name, or the controller will not connect to Cellular Path's servers. Take off the SIM slot cover, put the SIM in with its contacts facing down, put the cover back and follow the app.

6. 06

   Power up. With every cable connected, connect the 12 V DC power (2 A) to the controller.

7. 07

   Check the light. When the controller powers on, light 1 flashes yellow, then turns solid yellow after a system check. Once it is solid yellow, go to the app.

In The App

1. 01

   Set up your account. Search for Cellular Path in the Apple App Store or Google Play, download the free app, open it and follow its instructions.

2. 02

   Choose the place. Choose the location of the device you are installing.

3. 03

   Add the device. Add your Smart device. With access to the local Wi-Fi network, add its details and go on to the scan. Without it, put in an active SIM, enter the access point name and go on.

4. 04

   Begin scanning. Finish the setup, choose the carrier you are scanning for and begin scanning.

Before you start, make sure the cellular router is switched on and set up correctly. In Cellular Path's drawings the coax cables from the antenna go to the router, not to the controller, which joins the router by Wi-Fi.

1. 01

   Check the router. Make sure it has an active SIM connection and that your phone is on the router's 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network.

2. 02

   Note the details. Write down the router's 2.4 GHz network name and password, and its administrator name and password.

3. 03

   Rotator cable. Plug the power and control cable from the rotator into the rotator connector on the controller.

4. 04

   Power up. With every cable connected, connect the 12 V DC power (2 A) to the controller.

5. 05

   Check the light. When the controller powers on, light 1 flashes yellow briefly, then turns solid yellow after a system check. Once it is solid yellow, go to the app.

In The App

Keep your phone on the router's 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network while you set up.

1. 01

   Set up your account. Search for Cellular Path in the Apple App Store or Google Play, download the free app, open it and follow its instructions.

2. 02

   Choose the place. Choose the location of the device you are installing.

3. 03

   Pick the router. The app detects the model as No Modem. Select your router's manufacturer and model.

4. 04

   Enter the details. Enter the router's Wi-Fi name and password, and the network details the app asks for.

5. 05

   Begin scanning. Finish the setup and begin scanning.

These are the parts Cellular Path's documents name for a site, and nothing more. Nothing here is marked as required unless Cellular Path's documents say it is. What is in a particular package depends on its order code, so check the packing list that comes with it.
