3.5 Installing Outdoor Antenna
Outdoor antennas are classified as directional and omnidirectional antennas. The following
introduces how to install the two types of outdoor antennas.
Installation precautions:
ü
Outdoor antenna should be installed away from high-power electronic devices and no large
obstruction or metal object is allowed in the coverage direction.
ü
The antenna height should meet the requirements of signal coverage and the tip of the
antenna should fall within the 45° protection angle of the lightning rod.
ü
Outdoor antenna support should be solid. The pole on which the antenna is installed should
be vertical. If the pole is made of iron, anti-oxidation measures should be taken against the
pole.
3.5.1 Installing Omnidirectional Outdoor Antenna
ü
The diameter of the omni antenna pole should be between 40mm and 50mm.
ü
The omnidirectional outdoor antenna should be vertical to the top surface of the building.
ü
Generally, no lightning rod is directly soldered onto an omni antenna pole (no metal object
is allowed within one meter in the horizontal direction of the omni antenna). Instead, a
lightning rod is set on a separate pole between two omni antenna poles and the lightning
rod is high enough to keep the tip of omni antennas within the protection angle.
1) Install a lightning rod.
2) Install the antenna pole onto a cement pier.
3) Use the pole-mounting bracket to install the omni outdoor antenna on the pole.
