FIGURE 6-33. Yagi antenna mounted to saddle bracket
d. Orient the Yagi antenna so it’s aimed at the base antenna. You may have to flip the
adjustable angle bracket over to get the antenna and saddle bracket to point correctly
in the vertical direction.
e. Adjust the antenna cable at the BNC connector so the cable cover fits over all the
sensor cables as well as the antenna cable. You may have to gently bend the antenna
cable to put a 90° bend by the BNC connector end of the cable. Take the cover off
when you’re done.
f. Use one of the black wire ties to strap the antenna cable to the bundle of sensor
cables.
g. Tighten up the wire ties holding the antenna cable to the wire tie mount at the top of
the enclosure.
h. Take one black wire tie and strap the antenna cable to the antenna (
49)). Leave a little slack on the cable between the wire tie and the antenna connector
so as not to stress the connector/cable connection.
i. Make sure a loop of antenna cable is directly under the Yagi antenna. This will act as
a drip loop and allow moisture to run off the antenna and cable (
49)).
