Mount Radio Modem Antenna
1. Assemble the Radio Modem Antenna bracket to the Radio Modem Antenna. Connect the Radio Modem Antenna to the
Prism pole.
2. Identify a mounting location for the Radio Modem Antenna that is as high as possible and close enough to the Base Station
Receiver mounting location that the cables can be connected.
Note: The Radio Modem Antenna must be located close enough to where the Base Station is going to be mounted so
that the cable will reach.
Note: The Radio Modem Antenna needs to be visible from all directions so that the mobile vehicles can have a clear
line of site.
Note: Do not mount the Radio Modem Antenna next to the side of a building or radio tower. It should be mounted at
the highest point possible.
Note: If the antenna must be mounted on the side of tower, be sure to space the antenna at least 6 feet (1.8 meters)
from the tower on the side of the tower where the most distance is required. The radio signals will be partially blocked
on the opposite side of the tower.
