Tasks related to antenna 
installation
This section explains where you can find information on tasks 
related to antenna installation.
Selecting the installation 
site 
Factors you should consider in selecting an installation site are 
discussed in the DIRECWAY Antenna Site Preparation and 
Mount Installation Guide
 (HNS 1035678-0001). 
Installing the antenna 
mount
A suitable antenna mount must be installed before the antenna 
can be installed. For pole mounts that require a concrete base, you 
must allow at least 24 hr for the concrete to cure before you can 
install the antenna. Plan accordingly.
For complete information concerning antenna mount installation, 
including various mounting methods, refer to the DIRECWAY 
Antenna Site Preparation and Mount Installation Guide. Use 
only the antenna mount installation methods documented in the 
DIRECWAY Antenna Site Preparation and Mount Installation 
Guide
.
Grounding
The entire antenna assembly must be grounded. For grounding 
information, refer to your training, best grounding practices, and 
applicable parts of the National Electrical Code (NEC).
Cables and cabling
For cable specifications, see the IDU manual. How the cable is 
run depends on the specific installation site. Route and connect 
the cable according to your training and best practices.
