FIGURE 5-34. Yagi antenna mounted to saddle bracket
d.
Orient the Yagi antenna so it’s aimed at the base antenna. You may
have to flip the adjustable angle bracket over to get the antenna and
saddle bracket to point correctly in the vertical direction.
e.
Adjust the antenna cable at the BNC connector so the cable cover fits
over all the sensor cables as well as the antenna cable. You may have
to gently bend the antenna cable to put a 90° bend by the BNC
connector end of the cable. Take the cover off when you’re done.
f.
Use one of the black wire ties to strap the antenna cable to the bundle
of sensor cables.
g.
Tighten up the wire ties holding the antenna cable to the wire tie
mount at the top of the enclosure.
h.
Take one black wire tie and strap the antenna cable to the antenna
). Leave a little slack on the cable between the wire tie
and the antenna connector so as not to stress the connector/cable
connection.
i.
Make sure a loop of antenna cable is directly under the Yagi antenna.
This will act as a drip loop and allow moisture to run off the antenna
and cable (FIGURE
).
