Cable Routing
7
•
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 connector with insulation tape before
threading them through a hole.
Safety
8
•
If you are installing an antenna for the first
time or unsure about how to install your
antenna, obtain the help of a professional
installer.
• Carefully survey the installation site before
installation to locate secure handholds,
dangerous conditions (such as power
lines and weak roofs) and the safest and
most convenient placement for ladders if
necessary.
When installing your antenna, remember:
1. Do not install near power lines as they can
electrocute you.
2. Do not install on a wet or windy day or when
lightning or thunder is in the area.
3. Wear shoes with rubber soles and heels
and protective clothing (long sleeve shirt or
jacket) and rubber gloves.
4.
Avoid operating while under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication.
5.
Make sure that any loose fitting jewelry or
clothing is secured and tie back long hair as
they can get caught in moving parts during
installation.
6. If the antenna starts to fall, step away to
avoid harm.
