3 Mounting Configuration OMNI-296 is a pole and wall mountable, omni directional antenna. It can be mounted outdoors on a pole of up to 50mm in diameter, or against a wall. Follow the instructions below for installation. 1. Pole Mounting • • • Lay the antenna out at the installation site and carefully assemble the antenna to the L-bracket using the provided bolts. Next place the U-bolts around the pole and push both the econo brackets and the assembled L-bracket through the U-bolts.
3 Mounting Configuration 2. Wall Mounting • • • • This antenna should be mounted on a wall using the wall plugs as shown in the figure below Strain relieve the cable to the wall with saddles or cable tie to the closest structure.
Antenna Mounting Precautions 4 • Place the antenna at the highest point possible 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.
7 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. • When installing your antenna, remember: • 1. Do not install near power lines as they can electrocute you. 2.
7 • Safety 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.
