When mounting two or more smart antennas they must be spaced at least 3 feet (1
meter) apart to prevent interference.
Consider the length of the cable run when selecting the location. A 50 foot cable is supplied; however,
longer cables are available on special order from the factory. You may also wire a straight-through
extender cable to extend the able distance up to 200 feet. The smart antenna is designed for a pole
mount with a 1" - 14 straight thread, which is a common marine antenna mount. For stationary
installations a 3/4" pipe thread can be used, but a 1"-14 straight thread is recommended. Pole
mounting is illustrated in Figure 4-2. Secure the mounting pole to a solid structure so that it is oriented
vertically. Thread the smart antenna onto the pole or pile and hand tighten until snug.
CAUTION: Over-tightening the smart antenna on the pole or using a tool could
damage the threaded socket in the base of the antenna. In addition, do not use
thread-locking compounds, since they can dissolve or embrittle plastic.
