Routing Mast Cables
To route and connect cables, follow these steps:
Step 1 Unspool two 75-ohm cables the full length from the access point to the grounding block, laying them
out straight without kinks. Do not cut the cables until you know the total required length between access
point and grounding block.
Install F-connectors on the access point end of each cable and connect the cables to the access point. The
Step 2
cables should slope downward from the access point connectors (when the mast is raised) so that
moisture runs away from the access point during rainstorms. If necessary, form drip loops near the
connector.
Step 3 Secure the cables to the mast using UV-stabilized Ty-Wraps or equivalent fasteners.
Weather seal all coaxial connectors by wrapping them with the sealant tape provided with the installation
Step 4
kit. For more information, see the
Raising the Mast and Connecting Cables
To raise the mast and connect cables, follow these steps:
Tilt the mast assembly to the upright position, set the mast in its mounting base clamp, orient the antenna
Step 1
in the direction of the remote antenna, and secure the guy wires.
Tighten the mast clamp so the mast is secure but so that it can be rotated for final adjustments in
Step 2
positioning.
Warning
Caution
Find the building's grounding electrode system and then connect the mast to it using 6 AWG copper wire.
Step 3
For more information about attaching the ground lug to the access point, see
"Attaching the Housing Bracket to the Access Point" section on page
lug location.
Dress the cables along the path from the mast to the grounding block. Secure the cables as you go using
Step 4
UV-stabilized Ty-Wraps or equivalent fasteners.

This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the
equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate
electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding
is available. Statement 1024
To ensure correct installation and grounding, install the access point in compliance with your
local and national electrical codes: National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70, National
Electrical Code (U.S.); Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, CSA 22.1 (Canada); and if local or
national electrical codes are not available, refer to IEC 364, Part I through Part 7 (other
countries).
