Mounting the antenna
4.1.
Procedure for selecting the installation location
The best reception is achieved when the antenna is installed in the open.
This however, means that there are possible associated dangers of lightning striking and so the selection criteria in chapter
3.4 are of the utmost importance!
In regards to the best properties for reception, the following points must especially be taken into account when selecting a
suitable location:
The antenna should “see” as much sky as possible, i.e. it should not be overshadowed by large buildings, or stand un-
derneath parts of buildings etc. A preferred location for the antenna for example, would be on a flat roof.
Preferred locations inside a building are underneath large (!) window frontages or under glass domes.
4.2.
Mounting procedures
The following illustrations show the assembly of the antenna for wall or flat roof mounting.
Due to problems of sealing in regards to roofs, wall mounting is generally preferable to flat roof installation.
