Dipole Antenna Mounting Options
Mount to an Electrical Box in a Wall
See Diagram B at right
The antenna may be mounted to a single or dual gang duplex box, or to a square or hexagonal junction box.
Attach the kit’s Mounting Plate to the electrical box (see photo, right). The cover plate has a number of holes and slots to accomodate a wide variety of electrical boxes. Next, secure the Mounting Bracket to the plate and connect your antenna as noted in the following pages.
Setup Instructions
Diagram B. The Electrical Box Mount uses the Mounting Plate and Mounting Bracket as shown above.
Mount Directly to a Wall
See Diagram C at right
We recommend using the Mounting Plate to make for a sturdier installation, however, it is not necessary to do so. If you use the Mounting Plate, you will need to provide two shallow clearance gaps in the wall to allow for the two protrusions in the Mounting Plate.
Use appropriate anchors to secure the Mounting Plate to the wall (hollow wall anchors are provided in this kit), then secure the Mounting Bracket to the plate. If you are not using the Mounting Plate, use appropriate wall anchors to mount the Mounting Bracket directly to the wall.
Diagram C. A direct Wall Mount should use the Mounting Plate for added strength, but it is not required for proper antenna operation.
