Mounting Tips for Running Outside
Antenna Cable
If you are mounting the Outside Antenna on the roof of your building, we
have found that it is easiest to run your cable underneath the down side
of your roof’s flashing . If you have satellite TV service installed you may
be able to follow the same route as the satellite TV cables that are already
running from outside of your building to the inside .
After routing the cable, we recommend sealing any areas where the cable
passes into the building with cable bushings, silicone or a silicone-type
sealant to keep your installation from leaking . If you are mounting the
Outside Antenna to the outside wall of your home or building, the simplest
way is to run the cable on the outside of the wall and attach it to the
exterior of your home or office . Then drill a hole through the wall where you
want the cable to appear on the inside of the building . Before drilling, make
sure that there are no electrical outlets, sewer or water pipes, or electrical
wiring in the wall that you are about to drill through as this could potentially
harm you or damage the building .
After drilling the required hole, run the cable through and seal it with
cable bushings or a silicone-type sealant to enclose the hole that you
have created . In some instances, it may be possible to run the cable up
into the fascia of the attic overhang . In this circumstance, the cable will
be accessible in the attic for further routing .
Installing the Inside Antenna
(Instructions are for optional Panel Antenna)
Select a location for the Inside Antenna, preferably in the center of where
the signal needs to be amplified . A minimum separation distance of
20
vertical feet (within the null zone) or 50 horizontal feet
is necessary
for proper operation . If the inside coverage is not sufficient you may
need as much as
75 feet of
horizontal
separation . Refer to installation
diagram on pages 3 & 4 .
