32 Quatech QTM-8524 Manual3.3.2 Mounting the QTM-24ANT-CSafetyThe QTM-24ANT-C antenna has been designed to attach to and hang fromstandard ceiling panel runners. To prevent personal injury or equipmentdamage, the antenna must be securely mounted per the following instruc-tions. The QTM-24ANT-C should be professionally installed.LocationThe location at which the QTM-24ANT-C is mounted is very important.Objects such as metal columns, walls, etc. will reduce efficiency. Best perfor-mance is achieved when transmit and receive antennas are mounted at thesame height, and in a direct line of sight with no obstructions. If this is notpossible, and reception is poor, it is a good idea to try a few different mount-ing positions to optimize reception.MountingThe QTM-24ANT-C is suitable for use indoors or outside.
