6 System Installation
•
Antenna installation near metallic objects (e.g. reinforced concrete walls, metal facades, thermal insulation
glazing etc.)
•
Antenna installation near TV or computer monitors
•
Antenna installation under or near power lines
Meinberg recommends mounting the antenna outside of buildings. This has the advantage that the signal-to-
noise ratio to electronic devices in buildings is usually increased and the reliability of the synchronization is
thus significantly improved.
Installation conditions for optimal operation:
•
Horizontal mounting of the antenna
•
Long side of the DCF77-antenna aligned to the transmission tower (see illustration previous page)
•
min. 30 cm distance from all metal objects
If these installation criteria cannot be met, signal reception may be
affected.
