INSTALLATION
** WARNING! INSTALLATION OF ANY ANTENNA NEAR POWER LINES IS
DANGEROUS : Do not locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other
electrical circuits where the antenna could come in contact with these circuits.
When installing the antenna, take extreme care not to contact electrical power lines
or circuits, because they may cause serious injury or death!
Site Selection
The Shared Apex Loop™ array works by summing signals from oppositely positioned
and phased loops. For proper operation, it is essential that each loop in each loop pair
have identical signal response. Factors that can impact the signal response include:
• Size of the Loop
• Shape of the Loop
• Orientation of the Loop
• Distance of the Loop to the Ground
• Distance from the Loop to other metal objects
The ideal location for the array is on flat ground, away from any other objects. From our
testing so far, we are finding that the Shared Apex Loop™ array is somewhat tolerant to
the presence of both metal and non-metal objects positioned near the loops. However,
numeric modeling shows that there are limits to this tolerance.
