Antenna location, safety and grounding
Location
All antenna models in this guide should be located according to the following requirements:
• Locate within 15 cable feet of the PIM400 or WRI400.
• Locate for best RF line-of-sight path with the WAPM that will be linked to the PIM400
or WRI400.
•
Do not
locate the antenna close to metal in frames, walls or floors.
Additional location and installation requirements for specific antenna models are provided in
the table below:
Antenna model
Requirements
ANT400-REM-CEILING
ANT400-REM-HALL
• Intended for indoor applications.
• If local electrical code requires lightning protection, the
antenna must be installed with a grounding kit. See
Accessories
on page 4 for more information.
• The ANT400-REM-HALL antenna’s vertical and horizontal
centerlines should be at right angles to the target antenna.
See
ANT400-REM-HALL radio frequency radiation pattern
on page 7
for radio frequency beamwidth radiation
pattern specifications.
ANT400-REM-I/O
ANT400-REM-I/O+6dB
• Intended for indoor or outdoor applications.
• Outdoor applications must be installed with a grounding kit.
• Local electrical code may require lightning protection
for indoor applications. If required, the antenna must be
installed with a grounding kit. See
Accessories
on page
4 for more information.
ANT400-REM-I/O+6dB
• The antenna’s vertical and horizontal centerlines should be
at right angles to the target antenna. See
ANT400-REM-I/O
+6dB radio frequency radiaton pattern on page 6
for
radio frequency beamwidth radiation pattern specifications.
Safety
WARNING - You can be seriously or fatally injured if this antenna comes in contact
with electric power lines or is brought in proximity with a high voltage electrical field.
For your own safety, use extreme caution when installing this antenna. Keep away
from power lines!
Grounding
The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires that every antenna installation be properly
grounded. Local electrical codes may have additional requirements. Consult the NEC and
local electrical codes for information on proper grounding of the antenna system and other
antenna regulations.
A grounding kit compatible with all antenna models in this guide is available as an accessory.
See
Accessories
on page 4.
Lightning protection
All antenna models in this user guide are equipped with DC grounding. The only lightning
protection required is a grounding kit. See
Accessories
on page 4 for a grounding kit
available for use with all antenna models shown in this guide.
