2.INSTALLATION

The horizontal separation between the antenna and masts must be as follows:

Mast diameter

Separation distance (minimum)

10 cm

1.5 m

30 cm

3 m

-80￿+80￿

Separation degrees

Keep the length of antenna cable in mind when selecting a mounting location. The cable comes in lengths of 15 meters (standard supply), or 30 m or 50 m (optional lengths).

The field of view above the antenna should be as shown below, ±80° against zenith. To avoid reflections from masts and the like, locate the antenna well away from the shadows of the radar mast, etc.
