Installing an omnidirectional outdoor antenna against a pole
Pay attention to the following points when installing an omnidirectional antenna:
1.
An omnidirectional outdoor must be installed on a pole with a diameter of 30 mm to 50
mm and the thickness must be at least 2.5 mm. A 50 mm diameter pole made of round steel
is usually used.
2.
The top of pole must be aligned with the hose clamp at the bottom of the antenna.
3.
The antenna must be installed at a proper height to provide sufficient signal coverage, and
the top of the antenna must be within the 45 degrees protection angle of the lighting rod.
4.
Do no weld a lightning rod directly on the antenna pole (there should not be metal subjects
within 1 m around an omnidirectional antenna). Instead, install an independent lightning
