Mounting and Cabling the Non-Amplified Antenna System:
Note: Different model antenna kits have different mounting requirements and
procedures. Refer to Appendix A in this manual for antenna mounting details.
1. Attach the mast mounting hardware to a solid structure on your building (e.g., the
roof itself, concrete bulkhead, vent pipe).
2. Using the included mounting hardware, secure the antenna to the top section of
the mast (see Appendix A for details) included hardware.
3. Attach one end of the 50 foot Antenna Cable to the connector on the antenna.
Then connect the antenna to the bulkhead connector on the lightning protector.
4. Apply sealant tape around the joined connectors to prevent corrosion from the
weather. Wrap the entire connection, overlapping each layer slightly to ensure a
weather-tight seal.
5. Ground the antenna by connecting a suitable ground cable between the antenna
mounting bracket and the building ground.
6. Very carefully raise the mast and loosely secure it with the mast mounting
hardware. Use the plastic wire ties to tie the antenna cable to the mast every six to
twelve inches.
7. Aim the directional antenna in the direction of the building you will be linked to.
The omni-directional antennas should be mounted vertically and do not need to be
aimed as they radiate in a 360 degree pattern.
8. Tighten the mast mounting screws. Do not do anything that would make it
difficult to change the position of the antenna. It may be necessary to reposition the
antennas while aiming them.
9. Route the antenna cable along the roof to the point where it enters the building.
From the inside, pull the cable through the hole and take up any excess slack.
10. The Lightning Protector must be installed at the radio-end of the Antenna Cable.
The Lightning Protector can be wall-mounted using the included bracket if desired.
Attach the short adapter cable between the Lightning Protector and the Intel radio.
Attach a ground wire to the ground lug on the Lightning Protector and to a good building
ground.
Refer to the National Electric Code for proper grounding recommendations.
