T107 Weather Station

Only rotate enclosure if needed to allow aiming of the Yagi

antenna to the base antenna. Keep solar radiation sensor towards

the South as much as possible. Rotate wind sensor to realign as

needed.

5. Use the following procedure to install the 14205 Yagi antenna for the

RF450. Installation of the 14221 Omni antenna is similar. See FIGURE

2-36.

Mounting hardware that comes in the box with the Yagi antenna

will not be used.

i. Slide the back of the Yagi antenna into the saddle bracket. If the

Yagi antenna at the station is communicating with an

omnidirectional antenna at the base then align the tines on the

Yagi antenna so they are vertical. See FIGURE 2-34.

If two Yagi antennas are used at both ends of communication

then align the tines the same. If interference is a concern then

align the tines on the two Yagi antennas horizontally instead of

vertically. This will put the signal out of phase with other

antennas that are aligned vertically.

Tighten the nuts on saddle bracket to hold the antenna firmly in

place. Do NOT over tighten the nuts on the saddle bracket or

damage to the antenna may occur.

ii. Orient the Yagi antenna so it’s aimed at the base antenna. You

may have to flip the adjustable angle bracket over to get the

antenna and saddle bracket to point correctly in the vertical

direction.
