Figure 2-13 Outdoor AP installation scenarios

Installing an omnidirectional outdoor antenna against a pole

Pay attention to the following points when installing an omnidirectional antenna:

1. An outdoor antenna must be installed on a pole with a diameter of 30 mm to 50 mm and

the thickness must be at least 2.5 mm. A 50 mm diameter pole made of round steel is usually

used.

2. The top of pole must be aligned with the hose clamp at the bottom of the antenna.

3. The antenna must be installed at a proper height to provide sufficient signal coverage, and

the top of the antenna must be within the 45 degrees protection angle of the lighting rod.

4. Do no weld a lightning rod directly on the antenna pole (there should not be metal subjects

within 1 m around an omnidirectional antenna). Instead, install an independent lightning

rod between two omnidirectional antenna poles. Adjust the height of the lightning rod to

ensure that the omnidirectional antennas are covered in the protection angle.
