Keep safety in mind when you select your installation site. Keep the antenna away from electric
power lines and other lines.
•
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 or windy day. Dress properly, for example, shoes
with rubber soles. Wear rubber gloves.

Installation guidelines
The ANT-2503C-M3 is designed to be mounted indoors on a ceiling to maximize its
MIMO-omnidirectional propagation characteristics. Install multiple antennas where necessary because
doors, windows, and walls degrade signal quality. Keep the antenna away from metal obstructions and
wire mesh.
Choosing a mounting location
The ANT-2503C-M3 is typically mounted indoors on the ceiling. Keep the antenna away from metal
obstructions such as heating and air-conditioning ducts. Typically, the higher an antenna is above the
ground, the better it performs. If possible, use a cable as short as possible to connect the antenna and
AP.
Mounting the antenna
You can mount the ANT-2503C-M3 antenna on a ceiling by using bolts or a T-rail. The installation
accessories are provided (installation tools are user supplied). If you intend to mount your antenna on
another surface, you must provide the appropriate installation accessories.
