Installation Guidelines
Because the antenna transmits and receives radio signals, they are susceptible to RF obstructions and
common sources of interference that can reduce throughput and range of the device to which they are
connected. Follow these guidelines to ensure the best possible performance:
Mount the antenna to utilize its propagation characteristics. One way to do this is to orient the
antenna vertically and mount it as high as possible.
Note
This antenna must be mounted vertically in order to maximize its directional propagation
characteristics. Mounting it horizontally may noticeably decrease the antenna’s range and overall
performance.
Keep the antenna away from metal obstructions such as heating and air-conditioning ducts, large
ceiling trusses, building superstructures, and major power cabling runs. If necessary, use a rigid
conduit to lower the antenna away from these obstructions.
