Chapter 3: Planning The Installation
• Allow at least 24 inches (60cm) of separation between interior antennas and humans or animals.
• Allow at least 24 inches (60cm) of separation between exterior antennas and all persons.
• Comply with all antenna separation requirements to prevent signal oscillation.
CAUTION: SIGNAL OSCILLATION CAN CAUSE
RADIO INTERFERENCE WITH RADIO TOWERS AND
RESULT IN CIVIL AND/OR CRIMINAL PENALTIES.
3.2 Exterior Antenna
You may use either an omnidirectional antenna that covers at areas with no obstructions or a directional Yagi antenna
to point directly at the tower. The omnidirectional antenna receives and transmits signals over a horizontal 360-degree
circle. The Yagi antenna receives and transmits signals over a focused area and must be aimed directly (line of sight)
toward the radio tower that provides the strongest signal to the building.
The exterior antenna and mast (if any) must be mounted in a location that meets all of the following criteria:
• Best signal strength.
• Not co-located with other antennas or used in conjunction with other antennas.
• Away from all power lines.
• At least 6 ft. from lightning rod antennas.
• At least 24 in. from any person.
