Installation of the WL3/WL4 Option:
1. Mount the antenna on a 2-in. (0.05 m) pipe mast using the supplied equipment.
2. Mount the lightning arrestor using the supplied equipment, minimizing the distance
between it and the building egress for optimal lightning protection.
3. Use the LMR-400 coaxial cables to connect the Gateway, lightning arrestor, and
antenna.
4. Seal each connection between the Gateway, lightning arrestor, cables, and antenna with
the weather proof tape.
Any spare lengths of coaxial cable should be placed in 12-in. (0.3 m) coils.
Ensure that the mounting mast and lightning arrestor are grounded in accordance with
local/national electrical codes.
