5. When installing the antenna, make sure to do the following:
• Wear shoes with rubber soles, rubber gloves, long sleeved shirt or jacket.
• Do not use a metal ladder
• Do not work on a wet or windy day
6. If the assembly starts to drop, let if fall. All the attachments are excellent conductors
of electrical current, so even the slightest touch of any of the parts could electrocute
you.
7. If any part of the unit comes in contact with a power line, do not touch it or remove it
yourself. Call your local power company and they will safely remove it.
8. Mounting units on a “vertical” mount metal objects may interfere the signal pattern of
the antenna. (Note: A horizontal mount metal object will not have this effect.)
9. Provide a clear signal to neighboring nodes.
10. When installing the unit(s), allow at least 20 feet of separation between each unit.
11. All the antennas need to be properly connected. The unit may experience permanent
hardware failure if the antennas are not properly connected and the unit is powered on.
12. EZMesh unit MUST be properly grounded, surge protected, and lighting protected to
avoid unit being damage with electrical stresses.
IMPORTANT: Any damages due to improper installation voids warranty.
Site Survey
Before any Wi-Fi mesh network is installed, a site survey is needed to determine how to
maximize the coverage and network performance.
Data rates – Sensitivity and range are inversely proportional to data bit rates. The
maximum radio range is achieved at the lowest workable data rate. A decrease in receiver
sensitivity occurs as the radio data increases
Antenna type and placement – Do not place the antenna higher than necessary. The extra
height could cause possible interference.
