Mounting Tips for Running Outside Antenna Cable
If you are mounting the Outside Antenna on the roof of your building, we have
found that it is easiest to run your cable underneath the down side of your roof’s
flashing. If you have satellite TV service installed you may be able to follow the
same route as the satellite TV cables that are already running from outside of your
building to the inside.
After routing the cable, we recommend sealing any areas where the cable passes
into the building with cable bushings, silicone or a silicone-type sealant to keep
your installation from leaking. If you are mounting the Outside Antenna to the
outside wall of your home or building, the simplest way is to run the cable on the
outside of the wall and attach it to the exterior of your home or office. Then drill
a hole through the wall where you want the cable to appear on the inside of the
building. Before drilling, make sure that there are no electrical outlets, sewer or
water pipes, or electrical wiring in the wall that you are about to drill through as this
could potentially harm you or damage the building.
After drilling the required hole, run the cable through and seal it with cable
bushings or a silicone-type sealant to enclose the hole that you have created. In
some instances, it may be possible to run the cable up into the fascia of the attic
overhang. In this circumstance, the cable will be accessible in the attic for further
routing.
Installing the Inside Antenna
(Instructions are for optional Inside Panel Antenna)
Select a location for the Inside Antenna, preferably in the center of where the
signal needs to be amplified. A minimum separation distance of
20 vertical feet
(within the null zone) or 50 horizontal feet
is necessary for proper operation.
If the inside coverage is not sufficient you may need as much as
75 feet of
horizontal
separation. Refer to installation diagram on pages 3 & 4.
