Mounting to a pipe:
1. Fasten the bracket to the DU before mounting to the pipe.
2. Feed the u-bolts (from the Outdoor Install kit) through the rounded rectangular slots
as shown in “Use U-bolts to mount the unit to a 2-in pipe.”.
3. Aim the DU at the signal source and tighten the u-bolts.
Note: DO NOT use cable ties to mount the DU.
Routing the cable
When routing the cable on a roof be sure to locate it where it will not be tripped over.
Use tie-wraps to attach the cable to an existing pipe or cable run.
Figure 3.1: Cable Strap
Secure the cable to wood or siding walls using #6 x 1.5-in. wood screws and cable loop
straps as shown in Figure 3.1:“Cable Strap”.
To attach the cable to a brick or concrete wall:
1. Drill a 3/16-in. diameter x 1-1/4 in. deep hole using a masonry drill bit.
2. Insert the anchor flush with the mounting surface.
3. Use cable clamps and screws to attach the cable to the wall.
Bringing the cable indoors
If it is necessary to run a cable through a wall, use a masonry or wood drill bit to drill a
3/4-inch diameter hole.
To bring the cable through an exterior wall:
1. Depending on the material the wall is made of use a wood or masonry drill bit to drill
a 3/4-in. diameter hole.
2. Pass the connector and cable through the wall.
3. Use the putty/sealant (provided with Outdoor Installation kit) to fill the hole.
4. Fashion a drip loop in the cable if the hole is not next to the ground block.
