•
Place the antenna at the highest point
possible and ensure that there are not 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.
•
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.
When handling the antenna cables, it is
essential you follow these basic rules:
