Antenna installation
WARNING! It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that
the antenna is mounted so that it is not accessible to the public
and is not directed where dangerous levels of human exposure
could result.
Due to the possibility of exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)
radiation above the recommended levels, do not stand within five
(5) feet of the front of the antenna during system operation.
Mechanical installation
The antennas are mounted to a vertical pipe or tower leg that has sufficient
rigidity to prevent the antenna being moved by wind. Follow the wind load
guidelines in the antenna installation instructions, and design the antenna
structure with the wind load guidelines in mind.
The antenna assemblies include mounting hardware that provides adjustment
in vertical and horizontal planes.
The antenna has a type-N style connector with a special sleeve to prevent its
being connected except to the short coaxial cable that connects to the ODU.
Three different-sized parabolic antennas are available with the SkyZhone 45.
Parabolic antennas provide forward gain and protection from in-band
interference on other azimuths. The FCC approval is valid ONLY when one of
the Zhone Technologies, Inc. antennas are used. Do not use antennas from any
other source.
Read and use the installation instructions packaged with the antennas.
Table 10 describes the instructions that apply to each antenna:
