Antenna Mounting Precautions 4
• 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
• 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.
