Preparing for System Installation
Warning: These antennas are designed to be mounted in open areas such
as rooftops or building exterior walls. They are designed to be installed at
least 6 feet away from areas occupied by people. During system operation,
always keep the antenna at least 1 foot away from your head.
Warning: Before performing the following steps make certain that there
are not any power lines within 50 ft. If the mast should fall, either while
installing or during operation, contact with any power lines will be fatal or
result in a fire.
The Antennas are designed to be mounted on an aluminum or steel mast with a
diameter from 1-1/4 inches to 2-1/8 inches. A larger diameter mast would be
suggested for a more durable installation. The system includes a 50 foot
antenna cable.
Note: The antenna cable has proprietary connectors at each end.
Although these connectors resemble standard “N” type connectors, they
will not mate with standard “N” connectors. Never attempt to attach a
device which is not supplied with the kit as it can cause severe damage to
the connectors.
In addition to the kit contents, you will need a ground wire and wire ties.
Mounting and Cabling the Amplified Antenna System:
Note: Different model antenna kits have different mounting requirements and
procedures. Refer to Appendix A in this manual for antenna mounting details.
1. Attach the mast mounting hardware to a solid structure on your building
(e.g., the roof itself, concrete bulkhead, vent pipe).
2. Using the included mounting hardware, secure the antenna to the top
section of the mast (see Appendix A for details) and similarly, install the
amplifier directly beneath the antenna using the included V-bolts.
3. Screw one end of the 50 ft. cable into the connector on the bottom of the
amplifier, and then attach the filter assembly to the amplifier’s top connector.
Then screw the antenna connector onto the other end of the filter assembly.
4. Apply the included sealant tape around the joined connectors to prevent
corrosion from the weather. Wrap the entire connection, overlapping each
layer slightly to ensure a weather-tight seal.
