Setup Instructions
Dipole Antenna Mounting Options
The antenna may be mounted to a mast,
pole or section of vertical conduit. A mast
made of non-conductive material works
best; however, if you must use a metal
mast, be sure to orient the antenna mount
so the mast is not between the antenna
and the designated receiving area.
The Mounting Plate is not required, but will
provide a stronger mount for the antenna.
Secure two commercially available
conduit clamps (not included in this kit) to
the mast, then attach the Mounting Plate
to the clamps and connect the Mounting
Bracket to the Mounting Plate, as shown in
the photo at right.
Mounting to a Mast of Conduit
IMPORTANT (see Diagram F at left): When installing an antenna
on a metal mast, make sure the mast does not extend above
the antenna module. If you are mounting the antenna in a high
location (such as a stadium), the active element should be at the
bottom. If mounted low, the active element will be at the top of
the installation. Make sure the antenna is mounted in such a way
that the mast will not interfere with the signal.
