Important Points to Remember
Do not cover the weep holes on the antennas. Doing so can restrict the release of condensation from the 
antennas.
Proper weatherproofing is not a fast process. Set aside ample time to complete the steps outlined below.
When wrapping, make the each layer of tape as flat as possible. Wrinkles and folds in the tape create 
places for water and moisture to gather. 
Weatherproofing Directly Connected Antennas
First Wrapping of Tape
1. Before wrapping the antennas, locate the weep holes (
Figure 6
). Weep holes allow condensation that 
has built up inside the antenna to escape.
2. Prepare the antenna connector by cleaning and drying it.
3. Cut a 4” (100 mm) strip of electrical tape from the roll. Pre-cutting the tape into strips makes in easier to 
maneuver the tape around the antennas and other components of the AP’s case.
4. Beginning just below the weep holes, tightly wrap the connection with a layer of the 3/4” (19mm) 
electrical tape. Overlap the tape to a half-width. 
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the wrapping extends all the way to the AP’s case.
