4. Cable Routing
• Survey the planned cable route and look
for any blocked passages. Consider
alternate routes to find the best available
path. Always keep the cables as short as
possible to make sure that minimum cable
losses are achieved.
• Note: Take advantage of any existing
cable channels. e.g wiring conduits to
route the cables.
• Avoid running cables through components
or sharp apertures that may cause
excessive chafing. Doing so may erode the
jacket and break signal continuity. Also,
avoid kinking, pinching, or twisting a cable
during a run.
• Use cable ties to secure the antenna
cables.
• Place the antenna at the highest point
and ensure that there aren't any
surrounding obstructions to the antenna.
• In order to avoid communication
interference, ensure that the antenna is
placed at least 0.5m away from other
antennas and metal objects.
• Avoid installing the antenna near a
chimney, as the smoke and soot emitted
by the chimney can obstruct the signal
level achieved by the antenna.
• Install the antenna away from heat
sources and flammable gases.
3. Antenna Mounting Precautions

9
Version 3.0
• The antenna may not be used as a climbing
or pulling device.
• Considerations must be taken when
mounting the antenna that people do not
hang or pull on it.
• Avoid using bits that are dull, bent or
damaged.
• Be aware of where your fingers are in
relation to the drill bit when using the drilling
machine.
• To stop the drilling machine, let the drill
chuck come to a complete stop on its own.
Never grasp the chuck in an attempt to stop
the drill bit.
• Avoid installation while under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication.
• Make sure that any loose-fitting jewellery or
clothing is secured and tie back long hair as
they can get caught in moving parts during
installation.
• Avoid awkward hand positions where a
sudden slip could cause a hand to move
into the drill bit or cutting tool.
5. Safety
• Never pull on the cable connectors;
pull only on the cable.
• Tighten the connectors and ensure
that the cables don’t rattle loose.
When handling the antenna cables, it is
essential you follow these basic rules:
