Mounting and Cabling the Amplified Antenna System:
Note: Different model antenna kits have different mounting requirements and
procedures. Refer to Appendix A in this manual for antenna mounting details.
1. Attach the mast mounting hardware to a solid structure on your building (e.g.,
the roof itself, concrete bulkhead, vent pipe).
2. Using the included mounting hardware, secure the antenna to the top section of
the mast (see Appendix A for details) and similarly, install the amplifier directly
beneath the antenna using the included V-bolts.
3. Attach one end of the 50 ft. cable to the connector labeled “TO DC INJECTOR”
on the amplifier. Then connect the antenna to the connector labeled “TO
ANTENNA” on the amplifier.
4. Apply sealant tape around the joined connectors to prevent corrosion from the
weather. Wrap the entire connection, overlapping each layer slightly to ensure a
weather-tight seal.
5. Ground the antenna by connecting a suitable ground cable between the antenna
mounting bracket and the building ground.
6. Very carefully raise the mast and loosely secure it with the mast mounting
hardware. Use the plastic wire ties to tie the antenna cable to the mast every
six to twelve inches.
7. Aim the directional antenna in the direction of the building you will be linked to.
The omni-directional antennas should be mounted vertically and do not need to
be aimed as they radiate in a 360 degree pattern.
8. Tighten the mast mounting screws. Do not do anything that would make it
difficult to change the position of the antenna. It may be necessary to reposition
the antennas while aiming them.
9. Route the antenna cable along the roof to the point where it enters the building.
From the inside, pull the cable through the hole and take up any excess slack.
