Setup Instructions
Dipole Antenna Mounting Options
The antenna may be hidden inside a wall or ceiling. IMPORTANT: Do not install the antenna inside a
metal wall or ceiling, as this would obstruct the signal.
You will use a exible dipole (the oppy wires) in this conguration. Select the correct wires for your
conguration (72 MHz or 216 MHz). Connect one antenna wire to the ground side of the Antenna
Module using one of the Hex Kep nuts provided. Connect the other wire to the active side using the
other Hex Kep nut, as noted in Diagram D below. If you are using a Mounting Bracket, you will need to
install the provided ber washer between the antenna and mounting bracket.
Secure the mounting bracket to a beam, making sure the active (non grounded) side of the antenna
is directed toward the area where the receivers will be located (see Diagram E below). Then, secure
the ends of the antenna to beams using wood screws or the provided sheet metal screws. Try to
make the wires as straight as possible, and make sure they extend in opposite directions.

Diagram E. A exible dipole can be mounted in
your ceiling or wall as shown here. Although the
Mounting Bracket is not shown here, it would be
used to secure the Antenna Module to a beam.
