Hanging an Antenna from a Roof Truss
Note: Maintain a minimum distance of 9.2 m (30 ft.) between a
CBS's transmit and receive antennas.
To hang an antenna from a roof truss (or other object) refer to the
illustration on the following page and these instructions:
1. Screw the threaded rod into the antenna.
2. Connect the antenna cable to the antenna.
3. Secure the antenna cable to the threaded rod using three equally
spaced cable ties.
4. In the desired location, hold the antenna cable against a roof truss
and lower the antenna to the desired height.
5. Use a cable tie to hang the antenna cable from the roof truss.
Caution: Antenna cables must be secured to a roof truss as shown in
the following illustration. Do not allow an antenna to hang from a
CBS's connector as the connector cannot withstand the weight of the
threaded rod, cable, and antenna.
6. Connect the antenna cable to the CBS.
7. Use cable ties to secure the antenna cable.
Caution: This device is required to comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements for mobile transmitting devices. A separation of 20 cm (8
inches) or more must be maintained between the antenna and all
persons during device operation to satisfy RF exposure compliance.
