The ODP offset dipole antenna range provides a lightweight,
simple to install and cost effective antenna solution for fixed
radio terminals.
The antenna is suitable for external or internal use and is
supplied with an integral coaxial cable.
Important Safety Note
This antenna is an electrical conductor and should
not be mounted in a location where it or the installer
may contact over-head powerlines.
nerable to lightning fitment of an inline surge arres-

Mounting requirements and selecting location

The antenna is designed to be fitted either on a flat, vertical surface or a mast with diameter 32mm to 54mm.
Wherever possible, the antenna should be fitted where the radiating (top) element is clear of any obstruction.
When choosing a mounting location, consider how the shortest cable run to the radio terminal can be
achieved, to minimise cable attenuation.
C.
