CHAPTER 4: INSTALLATION
4.1 Soft Installation
Perform a “soft” installation of all components to test signal coverage and oscillation before making the installation permanent. Avoid
making holes or other permanent attachments during this phase. Refer to Chapter 5 for configuration and testing instructions. Proceed
with final installation once configuration and testing are complete.
4.2 Exterior Antenna
Mount the exterior antenna in the location you selected during planning. Follow all of the instructions included with the antenna to ensure
that your installation is done properly. Here are a few reminders and essential steps:
• A Yagi antenna is mounted horizontally with drip hole facing down and aimed at the desired radio tower (line of sight).
• Mount the antenna.
• Connect a length of cable to the antenna and hand-tighten.
• Run the cable along the planned route.
• Install a properly grounded SC-LP lightning protector.
• Seal any exterior cable entry points on building exterior with caulking or sealant.
