Planning Antenna Installation
4-4
Outdoor Antenna Installation Guide
4.
Antennas shall be mounted in such a manner to minimize the
potential for human contact during normal operation. In order
to avoid the possibillity of exceeding the FCC radio frequency
exposure limits, human proximity to the antenna shall not be
less than 20cm (8 inches) during normal operation.
5.
The low-loss antenna cable that will connect the antenna with
the lightning arrestor must be at least 1m (3 ft.) away from any
high voltage or high current cable.
6.
Check whether the antenna mast and its guy wires or wall
bracket are positioned correctly and secured properly to the
roof or wall(s).
7.
Check whether the grounding system for the antenna mast, the
WavePOINT-II hardware and WaveACCESS Surge Arrester
have been installed. The grounding system must comply with
the requirements as described in Chapter 2, “Grounding
System” on page 2-15.
Always consult a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to
whether the antenna mast, the WaveACCESS Surge Arrester
and WavePOINT-II hardware are properly grounded.
8.
The antenna cable between the antenna and the lightning
arrestor must be grounded at all times. If the cable is
disconnected at one end for some reason (for example, to
replace the lightning arrestor) then you must ensure that the
exposed metal connector of the cable is grounded locally
during the work.
