Installation
Location
The best place to install your active antenna is where you have the recommended space away from
power lines and
away from your house, tower or any structures which are excellent sources of
noise
. Even passive wiring in a building or metal fencing can act as a pickup antenna and re-radiate
noise.
The
ARAV4
systems can be affected by local noise sources. Local noise can be random or
directional in nature. Every effort must be made to locate sources of noise that could be eliminated
at the source. Dimmer switches, electric timers, photocell-operated security lights, and many other
items can be sources of unwanted noise. Plasma-screen television receivers are a known generator
of unwanted noise interference. Most modern LED or LCD flat panel televisions are not broadband
noise generators.
NOTE:
The following describes the use of the
DXE-SSVC-1P
and
DXE-SSVC-1PG
V-Clamps
that are included with the
ARAV4
. These are used for mounting the
ARAV4
on a typical
ground rod from 1/2" OD to 3/4" OD.
If you plan to mount the
ARAV4
to a larger mounting mast, you will need two optional
DXE-SSVC-150P
and one optional
DXE-SSVC-150PG
V-Clamps which will
accommodate a mounting mast that is 1" OD to 1-1/2" OD.
