Installing an Omnidirectional Outdoor Antenna Against a Pole
Pay attention to the following points when installing an omnidirectional antenna:
1.
An outdoor antenna must be installed on a pole with a diameter of 30 mm to 50 mm and
the thickness must be at least 2.5 mm. A 50 mm diameter pole made of round steel is
usually used.
2.
The top of pole must be aligned with the hose clamp at the bottom of the antenna.
3.
The antenna must be installed at a proper height to provide sufficient signal coverage,
and the top of the antenna must be within the 45 degrees protection angle of the lightning
rod.
4.
Do not weld a lightning rod directly on the antenna pole (there should not be metal
subjects within 1 m around an omnidirectional antenna). Instead, install an independent
lightning rod between two omnidirectional antenna poles. Adjust the height of the
lightning rod to ensure that the omnidirectional antennas are covered in the protection
angle.
5.
The distance between two omnidirectional antennas should be more than 0.5 m.
