ORiNOCO Outdoor Antenna Installation Guide 4-1
Installing the Antenna
Planning Antenna Installation
Carefully plan the day for your outdoor antenna installation. Do not install the
antenna in wet or windy conditions, during a thunderstorm or when the area
where the equipment will be installed is covered with ice or snow.
The grounding system for the antenna mast, Outdoor Router hardware and
ORiNOCO Surge Arrester should be installed before the cable from the antenna
is connected to the lightning arrestor. This will protect your ORiNOCO Outdoor
System in case lightning should strike the antenna during installation.
Familiarize yourself with the antenna and the antenna specific mounting
instructions prior to climbing any roof or ladder. Installing and testing all
equipment before beginning the actual rooftop installation will help you to
determine whether all required equipment and items are available and are
functioning properly.
To verify the equipment prior to installation, you may need to skip this chapter
and first proceed with the guidelines as described in the "ORiNOCO OR
Manager - User’s Guide".
The "ORiNOCO OR Manager - User’s Guide" is shipped with the
Outdoor Router device, and can be downloaded from the ORiNOCO website at:
