Honeywell WA7626-CA

The Honeywell WA7626-CA is an AlarmNet SMA to N adapter cable that connects the K14207LF MMCX to SMA adapter cable to one of the RF antenna coax cables. You will need a WA7626-CA adapter cable if you are adding the AlarmNet GSM-ANT3DB weatherproof external antenna to an AlarmNet dual path or cellular alarm monitoring communicator. You do not need the WA7626-CA if you are adding the AlarmNet GSM-ANT indoor external antenna.

Before installing the WA7626-CA SMA to N adapter cable, you will need to first install the K14207LF MMCX to SMA adapter cable. With the K14207LF installed, your AlarmNet cellular alarm monitoring communicator will have a female SMA connection sticking out of the top of the plastic enclosure housing your cellular communicator. The WA7626-CA has a male SMA connector on one end which you simply thread onto the female SMA connector. Once the SMA connection has been made, you can mount the female N connector on your wall using the included metal bracket. The female N connector will be used to attach to one of the RF antenna coax cables which have male N connectors on both ends. Finally, the GSM-ANT3DB has a female N connector which will attach to the RF antenna coax cable to complete the installation of your weatherproof external antenna.

Honeywell has found that with some commercial installations of the WA7626-CA, an inadvertent grounding of the WA7626-CA metal mounting bracket can occur. For all installations that require earth ground fault detection such as commercial fire applications, it is recommended that you use a nylon shoulder washer under the (2) mounting screws when securing the WA7626-CA mounting bracket. You will need to drill out the mounting holes so that they are slightly larger to accommodate the nylon shoulder washers. You should use a 7/32” drill bit to make the holes the correct size. Honeywell recommends the Richco MN1#8-6 nylon shoulder washers which must be purchased separately. If you are installing the mounting bracket on a metal surface, you should also insulate the metal bracket from the metal surface with electrical tape. Use enough tape so that the metal mounting bracket is not in direct contact with the metal surface.

The AlarmNet WA7626-CA adapter cable is not included with the GSM-ANT3DB weatherproof external antenna. However, it is included with the GSM antenna kits.
