INSTALLATION PRACTICES

In a customer installation, there are several factors that must be considered before the
installation can take place: Signal contour strength and direction of the transmitting
source, seasonal interference’s such as foliage and trees, aesthetics of the outdoor
installation, system performance and overall customer satisfaction with the final
product.

In each case the customer wants the very best signal quality with a minimum of
construction and aesthetic impact to their home or business.  This will dictate the use of
a variety of antenna configurations in order to perform the task of providing adequate
signal strength while maintaining low visual impact.  The order of visual impact follows
the height and size of the antenna.  A wall or gutter mount will present a very low visual
profile.  This if followed by a short roof or chimney mount.  When higher gain or foliage
clearance is needed, then a tree mount or mast mount should be considered.

The following mounts are described and their general application:

Wall or Standoff Mount:

 These are used in high signal density areas where antenna

aesthetics is of concern.  It offers great flexibility in mounting angles and locations.  The
stand-off arms mount from the wall and or the eave and support the mast in the vertical
position.  The mast may be short in length so as to place the antenna above the roof
line or a telescoping mast may be used in conjunction with a ground plate to extend the
antenna height to above the roof peak.

Roof Mounts

: The same basic hardware used for wall and eave mounts is used for a

roof mount.  This mounting bracket and pole is adjustable in the vertical plane and will
raise the antenna about 24” above the mounting location.  The bracket must be
secured into a structural member, not simply into siding or shingles.  All points of
attachment must be properly waterproofed.
