4. Siting
For best results, mount the 38485 facing towards the center of the coverage area with a clear
line-of-sight path between the antenna and active floor. Avoid mounting next to a column or
vertical support that could create a shadow zone and reduce coverage. A clearance of 0.91 m
(3 ft) around the antenna is recommended.
5. Installation
The 38485 includes a mount assembly that secures the antenna to a mast or pole using hose
clamps and mast mount adapter. The antenna can also be directly mounted on a wall (see
(p. 4) for drilling dimensions and orientation). Mount the antenna with the cable
connectors facing downward. Route cables between the base plate ribs and through the radome
notch.

Mast mounting:
1. Fasten the hose clamps to the mounting bracket.
2. Slide the antenna onto the bracket and tighten the two bracket screws.
