Outdoor Installation of the Signal Antenna
Grounding the
Signal Antenna
If you decide to install the Signal Antenna outdoors, it must be properly
grounded. This will help protect your property against lightning strikes during a
lightning storm.
The installation must be in accordance with Article 810 of the National Electric
Code (NEC). A listed antenna discharge unit must be provided for the lead-in
coaxial cable per NEC article 8.10.20 or the shield of the coaxial cable must be
permanently and effectively grounded in accordance with NEC article 8.10.21.
Please consult a professional installer or electrician for more information.
Additional instructions and hardware are also available in the Wireless
Extenders Outdoor Installation and Grounding Kit (Part# YX011).
Securing Cable with
a Drip Loop
If you install the Signal Antenna outdoors, create a drip loop with the coaxial
cable at the point where the cable enters the building through an outside wall.
This can be done by twisting and securing the cable into a loop (no less than
4” across) near the entry point. This will help prevent moisture from gathering
at entry point and leaking into the building. Consult a professional installer if
you need more information. Additional instructions are also available in the
Wireless Extenders Outdoor Installation and Grounding Kit (Part# YX011).
Avoid Drilling or
Nailing into the
Roof
Avoid any drilling or nailing directly into the roof. This could allow water to leak
into your home and cause damage.
