General information
The standard antennas for a C06 gateway contain 3 connectors, consisting of:
- LTE connector with red marking.
- GPS connector with blue marking.
- WiFi connector with yellow marking.
The antenna connectors are connected as shown below to the SMA connectors of the C06 gateway. Always connect the connectors after mounting the gateway on the DIN rail.
Please note the tightening torque of the antenna connectors: 0.3 - 0.5 Nm.
Tightening recommended by hand, not with a wrench.
If there is little room for an upright antenna connector, Calculus can also provide 90° SMA connectors.

Types of antennas
Calculus uses 2 implementations of antennas for the C07W gateway, a flat design and a spherical design.
Points of interest for good reception:
- The spherical antenna requires a metal surface; the flat antenna can be mounted on any surface.
- Antennas are best mounted horizontally and facing upward with no high metal obstacles in a 0.5m area.
- Antenna cables are best as short as possible to keep reception losses small. Calculus provides standard lengths of 2m. In exceptional cases, 3m can also be provided or an extension piece but this will increase the reception loss.
