Antenna Notes
Omni Directional Antennas
The Omni directional antenna available for use with the AmpDNet "4 central site
equipment is intended for external mounting and should be used when full 360 degree
coverage is desired. When this antenna is mounted on a mast, it must be located as
high as possible in order to avoid any other object located beside it. The OMNI antenna
has a very narrow vertical beam width
Both the height and distance separation between the 2 sites must be taken into
consideration when selecting the antenna in order to maximize the coverage area.
The installer is responsible for ensuring that the public is not exposed to radio energy
levels in excess of the FCC guidelines. Those guidelines imply that no human may
conceivably be found within one foot of the front of the antennas If such a situation is
likely to occur, the installer is responsible for placing the appropriate caution signs to
warn the public Amplidyne, Inc., its agents, resellers, or distributors, are not liable for
exposure to excessive RF energy levels due to improper antenna installation.
The Maximum Permissible Exposure guidelines are 1 foot (30 cm) for the AmpDNetm
unit, as based on the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement
(NCRP). If the antenna is in an accessible area, an appropriate warning sign must be
installed in the appropriate place.
Warning: Using an antenna or cable other than those supplied or recommended
for use with the AMPDNetT"l units, whether installed indoors or outdoors, could cause
degradation of the system and could Void your authority to operate this equipment. In
Section A pg 4 of 10
addition, the use of unauthorized antennas or external amplifiers violates Federal law
and FCC's regulations. This may void the Product Warranty, as well as expose the end
user to legal and financial liabilities. ,
Warning: The AmpDNetT" antenna emits high radio requency energy levels. in
situations where unauthorized persons may approach within 1 ft (30 cm) of the front of
the antenna, an appropriate warning sign should be placed near the AmpDNetTM
antennas. '
Antenna Installation Procedure
Following are the steps required to install the antenna for the AmpDNet 7" System.
To install the Omni antenna:
1. Mount the antenna using the enclosed brackets, following the instructions
included with the antenna and cable kit that you purchased.
WARNING: The AmpDNetT“ antenna should be installed only by experienced antenna
installers familiar with local building and safety codes and, wherever necessary,
licensed by appropriate government regulatory bodies. Failure to do so may void the
- Product Warrantee as well as expose the end user to legal and financial liabilities.
Amplidyne, lnc., its agents, resellers, or distributors, are not liable for injury, damage or
violation of government regulations associated with the installation of the antenna.
Power Compliance
The system, if required by regulation, performs transmits power adjustment based on
the installed antenna and cable. The antenna filter unit, if required, goes between the
tension release cable and the antenna cable and is used to limit the AmpDNet Y“
emisslons to comply with your country‘s requirements.
Make sure that you enter the correct antenna and cable parameters in the antenna
configuration software so that is complies with your country's requirements. In addition,
do not attempt to dispense with the use of the filter in conjunction with the
AmpDNetmunits. Incorrect antenna parameters and/or dispensing with the use of the
filer may cause the system to malfunction and invalidate your warranty.
WARNING: Willfully entering incorrect values in the antenna parameters
software and/or avoiding the use of an antenna filter violate unlicensed band radio
frequency regulations. This may void the Product Warranty, as well as expose the end
user to legal and financial liabilities.
Section A pg 5 of 10
Lightning Protection
It is highly recommended that you connect the shield/enclosure of the antenna and/or
cable to a ground before the entranCe to the building. This will provide some lightning
arrestor. Such Devices protect the AmpDNet‘" AMP2024AP, as well as the life of any
person in contact with the wireless access unit if the antenna is struck by lightning
The optional AmpDNet lightning arrestor has the same connector arrangement as the
antenna cable segment (male/male). As a result, it can be installed between any two-
cable segments (the antenna and the tension release cable are also considered cables
for this purpose). However, the best location for the arrestor is just before the cable's
entrance to the building. In either case, the arrestor must be mounted outside the
building,
The arrestor that you can purchase with the AMP2024AP is self—resetting, meaning that
maintenance is not needed, even following a lightning strike. Follow the installation
instructions provided for the arrestor and ensure that the grounding solution is in
accordance with these instructions.
Warning: A lightning arrestor should be installed on any antenna mounted outdoors,
Failure to do so may void the product. Amplidyne, Inc, its agents. resellers, or
distributors, are not liable for injury or damage caused by lightning striking the antenna.

Omnidirectional Antennas
Mounti rig:
For optimal perfomance these antennas this! be mounted on top of the antenna supporting
structure (tower, pole, etc.) above all other objects (lightning rod, obstruction lights, other
antennas, etc.) In areas where severe lightning can be a problem, a thin lightning rod can be
mounted several wave lengths away from the antenna. If the antenna is mounted on the side of
the tower or above the top of the tower but in the vicinity ofother antennas or a lightning rod:
then this will result in a "scalloped" azimuth pattern With nulls or a slightly offset pattemr
antennas must be mounted in a true vertical (plumb) position in order to assure omnidirectional
coverage in the horizontal (azimuth) plme. In a point—tomuitipoint system where a high gain
antenna is installed on top ofa high mountain, the system designer should make sure that the
signal does not merely "pass over" the close»in subscribers situated in the valley below,
The antennas are mounted to a customer supplied support mast having an outside diameter of
1.75 to 4,0 inches (45 to 102 m) using the clamps supplied with the antenna.
Lightning Pmtign:
The antenna is at DC ground for lightning protection, The mounting clamps "ground" the
antenna to the support mast The support mast must in turn be grounded using practices
supplied/approved by the customer.
Weathemoofing:
All connections between the antenna connector and the transmission line must be
weatherproofed. This can be done using the procedure outlined in application No. 2,
Drainage:
Since the radome on the antenna is not pressurized, there is a drain hole in the connector base
plate. This drain must be kept open so that any motst‘ure accumulating inside the radome vuill be
able to drain properly.
NOTE' THESE NIODELS QANNOT BE MOUNTED [N THE INVERTED POSITION.
ANTENNAS MUST BE MOUNTED WITHIN 1: DEGREE OF VERTICAL.
