1.Introduction

The Shockwave TLS.30.105111 is a mechanically robust, waterproof, external

antenna operating at the 433MHz ISM band with 1 meter low loss CFD-200 cable and

SMA(M) connector.

Common applications are, for example :

• mesh networks

• indoor/outdoor asset monitoring

• security systems

• remote control systems

• heavy-duty equipment/vehicle communication in harsh environments

The antenna has 56% efficiency and -0.54dBi peak gain at ISM 433MHz on a 30x30

cm ground plane. Stable radiation patterns over low angles provides consistent gain in

the horizontal plane, meaning that it is especially suitable for mesh networks or hot

spots.

A unique indent tab on the base of the antenna allows a wrench to be used to solidly

lock the antenna on top of its mounting location while tightening up the nut beneath

the metal panel. Waterproof O-rings around the bottom base prevent water from

leaking under the antenna.

The TLS.30 antenna is IP67 waterproof and IP69K resistant against high pressure

water jets in commercial cleaning environments, which makes the antenna ideal for

ISM 433MHz applications in harsh outdoor environments.
