Preface This Guide describes how to install the elevated-feed and Yagi antennas for use with the Telenetics OMEGA Communications Interface Cabinet. ! For information about elevated-feed antenna, see Chapter 1. ! For information about the Yagi antenna, see Chapter 2. Safety Precautions Please observe the following precautions when installing the antenna: ! The antennas are electrical conductors. Contact with power lines can result in death, or serious injuries.
Grounding Considerations Although the antennas are designed to operate efficiently without the requirement of an earth ground, safety grounding must still be provided to protect equipment, property and persons from the hazards of lightning strikes and other weather related electrical discharges.
Chapter 1 Elevated-Feed Antenna The OMEGA elevated-feed antenna is a very compact yet high-performance omni-directional antenna. It is ideally suited for applications where high gain and wide coverage is desired.
Choosing a Location For best performance, mount the antenna as high as possible, in a clear location above or away from buildings, feed lines, utility wires, and other antennas. Your expertise and particular circumstances will determine the final mounting method. Assembling the Antenna Use the following procedure to assemble the elevated-feed antenna: 1. Wall installations: Secure either of the supplied “L” brackets to the wall. Pole installations: Install the either of the supplied fasteners onto a pole.
Chapter 2 Yagi Antenna The OMEGA Yagi antenna is a National Bureau of Standards (NBS)-style antenna that provides optimum gain and front-to-back ratio. These capabilities make it ideal for use with your OMEGA Communications Interface Cabinet. Parts List Your Yagi antenna parts and hardware are stainless steel, aluminum, or non-corrosive material.
Installing the Antenna Use the following procedure to assemble the Yagi antenna: 1. Mount the mast onto a wall using the supplied bracket and screws. 2. Mount the brass clamp, as shown in Figure 2. Figure 2. Mounting the Brass Clamp 3. Align the antenna with the brass clamp. 4. Use the two supplied flat washers, lock washers, and screws to secure the antenna to the brass connector, as shown in Figure 3. Figure 3. Completed Antenna Assembly 5.
