Radio Position Planning
Never construct a radio mast, pole, or tower near overhead power lines. In addition, local reg-
ulations may limit or prevent construction of a high radio mast or tower. If your OAP433e link
requires a high radio mast or tower, consult a professional contractor for advice. Once the
required antenna height has been determined, other factors affecting the precise position of
the OAP433e must be considered.
•
Be sure there are no other radio antennas within 2 m (6 ft.) of the OAP433e.
•
Place the OAP433e away from power and telephone lines.
•
Avoid placing the OAP433e too close to any metallic, reflective surfaces, such as roof-
installed air-conditioning equipment, tinted windows, wire fences, or water pipes.
Radio Interference
Avoiding radio interference is an important part of wireless planning. Interference is caused by
other radio transmissions using the same or an adjacent channel frequency. You should first
scan your proposed site using a spectrum analyzer to determine if there are any strong radio
signals using the 2.4 or 5 GHz spectrums. Always use a channel frequency that is furthest
away from another signal on the spectrum.
Weather Conditions
Take into account any extreme weather conditions that are known to affect your location. Con-
sider these factors:

Outdoor
