| 1.
Remove the antenna from the shipping box. Inspect it for physical
damage and make sure all parts are on hand. |
|
|
| 2.
Inspect the antenna feed assembly output connector (Type-N, female
or TNC) to determine that it mates with the end of your station
transmission line. |
|
|
| 3.
Verify that the frequency band to which your antenna has been tuned
matches the frequency on which your radio system operates. |
|
|
| 4.
Determine the direction of the desired maximum range and the tower
leg on which the antenna is to be mounted. We are installing the
antenna to a achieve the best cellular signal link over the air
from the nearest cell tower(BTS). Mount the antenna to the tower
using the furnished "U" bolt and bracket. Make sure the
antenna is properly positioned with the gamma-matched element/radome
pointing upward. Orient the antenna in the desired direction; tighten
the mounting clamps securely to avoid movement after alignment.
(Refer to Figures 1 and 2.) Find the highest possible location at
the site and check the signal strength in different directions using
a S4 or Nokia 5110 Net Monitor activated cellphone. Ensure that
the antenna is vertically aligned to the ground plane as in the
photo above and that the black cap is on the top side. |

| 5.
Fix the YAGI-900 Antenna 30 cms below from the top of the pipe to
minimize the effect of lightning on the antenna. |
|
|
| 6.
Keep the coaxial antenna cable length as short as possible. To avoid
signal losses over long distances it is recommended to use Belden
RG-8 cable. |
|
|
| 7.
Minimum movement of pipe while demonstration will only ensure a
stable signal. Mount the YAGI-900 Antenna on a 2 inch diametre GI
pipe having a length of atleast 20 ft. The secret of better signal
is always more height and therefore it is recommended to use even
a 40-60 ft welded GI pipe in very weak signal areas. For 60 ft pipe
weld 4inch upto 20ft, 3 inch upto another 20ft and 2 inch in the
final pipe for stability. |
|
|
8. Fine tune the antenna
position by slowly rotating the pipe and checking on the RX(Signal
receive Level); the lower the dB level the better the signal strength.
In veryweak signal areas even a steady signal upto 100 dB can
allow voice calls. Final fixing of the antenna position should
be done in a direction where the maximum number of bars appear
or the dB level is the minimum on the cellphone. An RX level of
90-100dB can deliver good voice clarity. Use Water Proof Insulation
tape to cover all cracks and smooth it over the outer jackets.
Failure to waterproof the connection will result in improper operation
of your antenna.

|
|
| 9. After the antenna
and cable wire have been installed, make a careful check to ensure
that: |
|
All mechanical connections have
been securely made.
|
|
The antenna is mounted on the proper
leg of the tower with sufficient physical clearance.
|
|
The antenna is mounted with the
gamma match element/ radome in the "up" position.
|
|
|
| 10.
Make an outgoing call and receive an incoming call to check the
call clarity. If the call clarity is good and the signal optimized
then lock the antenna position and fix the pipe permanently. Check
that the cable is tied or taped to the pipe and does not hang loose. |

| 11.Connect
the N Male connector to the booster amplifier on the side where
"Yagi" is mentioned. Now connect another wire
on the side labeled "Patch" and experience
the voice clarity by switching on the booster. If the voice
is clear, then the patch antenna can be directly connected and
this will complete the successful installation of the booster.
However, if there is a voice clarity problem, then fine tuning
of the Yagi antenna and also booster tuning may be required. |

Make a note of the signal strength, date of installation, Cell Id
and Time Advance for future reference in a log book. |
