Setup Instructions

Dipole Antenna Mounting Options

The antenna may be mounted to a mast,

pole or section of vertical conduit. A mast

made of non-conductive material works

best; however, if you must use a metal

mast, be sure to orient the antenna mount

so the mast is not between the antenna

and the designated receiving area.

The Mounting Plate is not required, but will

provide a stronger mount for the antenna.

Secure two commercially available

conduit clamps (not included in this kit) to

the mast, then attach the Mounting Plate

to the clamps and connect the Mounting

Bracket to the Mounting Plate, as shown in

the photo at right.

Mounting to a Mast of Conduit

IMPORTANT (see Diagram F at left): When installing an antenna

on a metal mast, make sure the mast does not extend above

the antenna module. If you are mounting the antenna in a high

location (such as a stadium), the active element should be at the

bottom. If mounted low, the active element will be at the top of

the installation. Make sure the antenna is mounted in such a way

that the mast will not interfere with the signal.
