3. Antenna Mounting Precautions
•
Place the antenna at the highest point
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.
4. Cable Routing
•
Survey the planned cable route and look
for any blocked passages. Consider
alternate routes to find the best available
path. Always keep the cables as short as
possible to make sure that minimum cable
losses are achieved.
•
Note: Take advantage of any existing
cable channels. e.g wiring conduits to
route the cables.
•
Avoid running cables through components
or sharp apertures that may cause
excessive chafing. Doing so may erode the
jacket and break signal continuity. Also,
avoid kinking, pinching, or twisting a cable
during a run.
•
Use cable ties to secure the antenna
cables.
