Safety precautions
WARNING!
•
Installing antennas is dangerous. For your safety, follow the installation directions.
•
Keep the antenna away from power source, street lamps, distribution box, or other places that may
cause power shock.
•
Do not touch any power lines for your safety.
•
Keep safety in mind when you select your installation site. Keep the antenna away from electric
power lines and other lines. The distance between the antenna and power lines must be at least two
times longer than the length of the mast plus the antenna.
•
Do not work alone when you install the antenna.
•
If you need to raise the mast, work with other people to avoid bodily injury.
•
Do not use a metal ladder. Do not work on a wet, windy, rainy or lightning day. Dress properly, for
example, shoes with rubber soles. Wear rubber gloves.
•
Make sure the tower or mast is properly grounded, the connector of the antenna is
corrosion-resistant, and the cable is protected by lightning arresters.
•
Do not try to catch the mast or antenna that is falling. If the antenna, antenna cable, or any other
installation accessory drops, get away from it to avoid bodily injury.
•
If an accident, for example, electrical shock, occurs with the power lines, immediately call for
qualified emergency help.
Installation guidelines
The ANT-2015P-M3 is designed to create a MIMO-directional broadcast pattern, and is applicable to
towers or building top. If the mounting location is on the side of a building or tower, the antenna pattern
will be degraded on the building or tower side. Typically, the higher an antenna is above the ground, the
better it performs. Install the antenna vertically and mount it as high as possible. Keep the antenna away
from metal obstructions and wire mesh.
Choosing a mounting location
The ANT-2015P-M3 is typically installed on a high position, such as tower or building roof, with a mast.
The higher an antenna is above the floor, the better it performs. If possible, use a cable as short as
possible to connect the antenna and AP.
Mounting the antenna
You install the ANT-2015P-M3 antenna on a mast. Installation accessories for mounting the antenna on
a mast are provided (installation tools are user supplied). If you intend to install your antenna on another
surface, you must provide the appropriate installation accessories.
