Weatherproofing Directly Connected Antennas First Wrapping of Tape 1. Before wrapping the antennas, locate the weep holes (Figure 6). Weep holes allow condensation that has built up inside the antenna to escape. 2. Prepare the antenna connector by cleaning and drying it. 3. Cut a 4" (100 mm) strip of electrical tape from the roll. Pre-cutting the tape into strips makes in easier to maneuver the tape around the antennas and other components of the AP's case. 4. Beginning just below the weep holes, tightly wrap the connection with a layer of the 3/4" (19mm) electrical tape. Overlap the tape to a half-width. 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the wrapping extends all the way to the AP's case.

Weatherproofing Directly Connected Antennas
First Wrapping of Tape
1.
Before wrapping the antennas, locate the weep holes (
Figure 6
). Weep holes allow condensation that has built
up inside the antenna to escape.
2.
Prepare the antenna connector by cleaning and drying it.
3.
Cut a 4” (100 mm) strip of electrical tape from the roll. Pre-cutting the tape into strips makes in easier to
maneuver the tape around the antennas and other components of the AP’s case.
4.
Beginning just below the weep holes, tightly wrap the connection with a layer of the 3/4” (19mm) electrical
tape. Overlap the tape to a half-width.
5.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the wrapping extends all the way to the AP’s case.
