Monopole Antenna Mounting Options

Follow the instructions for mounting to a

metal equipment rack, orienting the

antenna downward rather than upward.

See Diagram L

Follow the instructions for mounting to a metal

equipment rack, however, there are two

additional steps:

Connect a length of exible antenna

(appropriate to the frequency you are

using) on the ground post of the antenna

module under the Hex Kep nut. You will

NOT use the shorting plate in this

conguration.

Drill a hole in the non-conductive surface

and run the exible antenna through the

hole. This antenna will provide the ground

for your antenna since the non-conductive

surface cannot supply a ground.

If you are mounting the monopole

upside down on a ceiling, run the exible

length inside the ceiling and stretch it out as

far as possible from the monopole antenna

element. Secure the antenna through the

connection lug at the end of the wire.

surface. Use of the exible wire creates a dipole, which is

a better antenna than the monopole.
