Tasks related to antenna
installation This section explains where you can find information on tasks
related to antenna installation.
Selecting the installation
site
Factors you should consider in selecting an installation site are
discussed in the DIRECWAY Antenna Site Preparation and
Mount Installation Guide (HNS 1035678-0001).
Installing the antenna
mount
A suitable antenna mount must be installed before the antenna
can be installed. For pole mounts that require a concrete base, you
must allow at least 24 hr for the concrete to cure before you can
install the antenna. Plan accordingly.
For complete information concerning antenna mount installation,
including various mounting methods, refer to the DIRECWAY
Antenna Site Preparation and Mount Installation Guide. Use
only the antenna mount installation methods documented in the
DIRECWAY Antenna Site Preparation and Mount Installation
Guide.
Grounding The entire antenna assembly must be grounded. For grounding
information, refer to your training, best grounding practices, and
applicable parts of the National Electrical Code (NEC).
Cables and cabling For cable specifications, see the IDU manual. How the cable is
run depends on the specific installation site. Route and connect
the cable according to your training and best practices.
