Installing a Yagi Antenna
Note: The illustration below shows one example of antenna installation. Other installation
methods are acceptable provided that they meet all criteria outlined in the following steps.
1. Mount the Yagi antenna so the length of the antenna is parallel to the ground and the
elements are pointing to the ground and skyward.
2. Reference the results of the Radio Site Survey to set the location and position of the
antenna.
3. Point the antenna in the direction of the next antenna. Make sure the antenna is securely
connected to the mounting pole so the orientation does not change over time.
4. Connect the antenna cable to the antenna and seal the connection with shrink tubing or
weatherproof tape.
5. Provide strain relief on all
connections.
6. Baseline recommends running a
ground wire along with the RF
cable from the antenna to the
lightning arrestor.
7. Secure the cable to the mast or
tower with tie-wraps.
8. Install a lightning arrestor and
ground appropriately following
all manufacturer installation
guidelines and precautions.
Refer to the BL-CX-LA High Gain
Antenna Lightning Arrestor
Installation Guide.
9. Connect the RF cable to the
lightning arrestor and seal with
shrink tubing or weatherproof
tape.
10. Connect the antenna cable to the radio module in the enclosure as described on
page 4.
