Antenna Mounting Precautions

5

• 

Place the antenna at the highest point 
possible and ensure that there aren’t 
any surrounding obstructions to the 
antenna.

• 

In order to avoid communication 
interference, ensure that the antenna 
is placed at least 0.5m away from other 
antennas and metal objects.

• 

Avoid installing the antenna near 
a chimney, as the smoke and soot 
emitted by the chimney can obstruct 
the signal level achieved by the 
antenna.

• 

Install the antenna away from heat 

sources and flammable gases.

Cable Routing 

6

•  If the antenna is mounted on a pole, 

avoid wrapping the cables around the 
pole. Route the antenna cables straight 
down the inside of the pole to avoid 
using extra equipment such as cable 
ties.

•  Use the minimum cable length required. 

Do not run more cable than needed 
to ensure minimum cable losses are 
achieved.

•  Never pull on the cable connectors; pull 

only on the cable ensuring the cable is 
not under tension.

•  The allowable cable bend radius is 

30mm.

•  Cover connectors with insulation tape 

before threading them through a hole.
