1. Identify the installation location for the mast
pole and external remote antenna on the utility
pole.
2. Mark the location for the all-thread rods that will
attach the mast pole to the utility pole.
3. Drill two holes through the utility pole for
installing the 5/8 inch all-thread rods.
4. Install the mast pole onto the all-thread rods.
5. Secure the all-thread rods to the utility pole and
mast pole with 5/8 inch washers and nuts.
6. Attach the external remote antenna to the mast
pole with two mounting brackets.
7. Install washers and nuts to secure the external
remote antenna and bracket to the mast pole.
8. Attach a lightening arrestor to the external
remote antenna.
9. Install a copper grounding rod at the base of the
utility pole below the lightening arrestor.
10.Route a 10 AWG ground wire between the
lightening arrestor and the copper grounding
rod and secure with ground wire staples.
11.Attach the ground wire to the lightening
arrestor that was installed on the antenna.
12.Attach the ground wire to the copper
grounding rod with a ground rod clamp.
13.Route a 400 series N-Connect Male to N-
Connect Male antenna cable between the
lightening arrestor and the RLY-800.
14.Connect the antenna cable to the remote
external antenna.
15.Connect the antenna cable to the RLY-800
