Install Antenna on Mast

The antenna must be mounted on a mast. The antenna may be on the same mast with
the cabinet or on a separate mast. The final mounting height, direction and tilt must
conform to the site survey information for this site.
threat of a lightning strike is possible.

Hoist Antenna to Mounting Location

For safety, it is recommended to use a hoisting device to raise the antenna to the
mounting location on the tower or mast. When at the location, secure the antenna
against displacement by wind. The antenna should remain tethered until it is securely
mounted to minimize the risk to employees working below this level.
Important: Do not use the Antenna RF lead-in cable to hoist the terminal. If the RF
cable has been connected and weatherproofed, create the service loop and securely
attach cable to the antenna mounting bracket to avoid any strain on the antenna port
connection during hoisting and installation.

Cable Hangars

It is important to provide strain relief, drip loops and protection against vibration and
abrasion caused by the wind, sand etc. The installer must provide suitable cable
hangars for the RF antenna cable, spaced at a recommended maximum of 450 mm (~18
in).

Cable Ties

If using plastic cable ties -- do not over-tighten.
