3. Antenna Mounting Precautions
•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.
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.

When handling the antenna cables, it is
essential you follow these basic rules:
•Never pull on the cable connectors;
pull only on the cable.
•Tighten the connectors and ensure
that the cables don’t rattle loose.
5. Safety
•If you are installing an antenna for the first
time or unsure about how to install your
antenna, obtain the help of a professional
installer.
•Carefully survey the installation site before
installation to locate secure handholds,
dangerous conditions (such as power lines
and weak roofs) and the safest and most
convenient placement for ladders if
necessary.
•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.
•When installing your antenna, remember:
1. Do not install near power lines as they can
electrocute you.
2. Do not install on a wet or windy day or
when there is lighting or thunder in the area.
3.Wear shoes with rubber soles and heels,
protective clothing (long sleeve shirt or
jacket) and rubber gloves.
4. Avoid installation while under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.

5. 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.
6. If the antenna assembly starts to fall, get
Version away from it and let it fall to avoid
harming yourself.
•When drilling, remember;
1. Use safety goggles when drilling the
holes.
2. Avoid using bits that are dull, bent
or damaged.
3. Be aware of where your fingers are
in relation to the drill bit when using
the drilling machine.
4. To stop the drilling machine, let the
drill chuck come to a complete
stop on its own. Do not grasp the
chuck in an attempt to stop the drill
bit.
5. Avoid awkward hand positions
where a sudden slip could cause a
hand to move into the drill bit or
cutting tool.
