Antenna location and safety
• Locate within 15 cable feet (4.5 meters) of the PIM400-1501.
• Locate for best RF line-of-sight path between the PIM400-1501 and WAPM(s).
• Ensure the antenna and WAPM(s) are located on the same oor of a building.
• Outside antenna systems should not be located near overhead power lines or other
electric circuits, or where the antenna can fall into such power lines or circuits. Extreme
care should be taken to keep the antenna from touching any power line or circuit.
WARNING: Antenna contact with electric power lines or close proximity to a high
voltage electrical eld may cause serious or fatal injury.
Antenna grounding
National Electrical Code (NEC) requires that every antenna installation be properly
grounded. Local electrical codes may have additional requirements.
• A grounding block is recommended for all antenna installations. Consult the NEC and
local electrical codes, and the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) for information
on proper grounding of the antenna system.
• A grounding block kit compatible with all of the previously mentioned antenna models is
available as a kit (sold separately, part number MGB + MCA5). Be sure to consider the
length of the grounding block cable when locating the antenna.
For more information, refer to Accessories in the optional remote antenna module
(ANT400) user guide.
