OMEGA Antenna Installation Manual

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.

2. Mount and screw the antenna onto the round, gold antenna mount.

3. To prevent moisture from entering the OMEGA, route the antenna cable through the

conduit hole at the bottom of the OMEGA.

4. Open the OMEGA enclosure and connect the antenna cable to the OMEGA transceiver.
