How correctly and reliably to install the antenna on the roof of the house?

Classification of antennas on the roof of the house: choose the appropriate version of the

There are several types of aerial installations. Let's consider them in detail:

1. Multi-wave antennas intended for digital TV.Their advantages lie in the ability to capture waves in a large radius.
   
   They are compact devices with built-in three broadband lines. The television industry uses several models of similar technical devices. The Russian Alpha model is very popular. Antennas of export type are widely used.
   A consumer who knows the price for quality and innovative technologies, gradually shifts to digital communications and uses an antenna for analog television. It has models of the production brand "Triada", "Viva".The expansion of such devices has a DMV-range and can be reproduced by a TV with a DVB-T2 system.
   
2. Satellite antennas. In electronics stores, you can find an infinite number of such models, differing only in the parameters of a parabolic mirror. The diameter of large "plates" is able to perceive the weakest signals and transfer them qualitatively in the TV image.
   
   

Satellite dishes made of strong steel are produced and can safely carry unfavorable conditions. There are:

• Mesh
  
• Aluminum
  
• Plastic
  

The last in its quality cause negative comments, showing "capriciousness" to external factors and having short-term use. The mesh is easy to transport and installation is not difficult.

Formal nuances when installing an aerial on the roof of the

Before you install a broadcasting satellite, it is worth observing some of the formalities:

1. It is important to get acquainted with the nuances of the Russian legislation to eliminate future misunderstandings with the housing office. The Housing Code implies the right of every tenant to a partial ownership of an apartment building, including the right to use the roof. Proceeding from the legislation, the tenant has the full right to use attic, basement premise, a roof on the desires.
2. The entrance to the roof is often blocked. The usual tenant, who is not in the homeowners' association, does not have access to the roof. He needs to take the key. According to the rules, only employees of the housing office have the right to be on the roof. In case of emergency, residents can also use the roof in their own needs. The Russian Constitution is on the side of tenants and regulates the exploitation of the roof. The law will become the main argument in the dispute with the workers of housing and communal services.

Safety first of all with the installation of the

antenna To avoid damage to the roof, attic and various communications, the following principles should be observed:

1. It is not recommended to fix the vent, chimney and gas holes of the
2. . It is worth checking the strength of the roof at the installation site of the antenna. The result of the audit must be documented. This will negate all negative criticism of
3. neighbors in the future. The antenna line must not coincide with the
4. power line. Do not use
5. open light as a lighting. It is highly recommended to use precautionary measures: safety belt, comfortable climbing ladder. When installing the antenna you need rubber shoes
6. With a steep roof slope you can resort to the help of an assistant who is able at the right moment to insure

Antenna on the roof of the house: where should I install it?

The receiving antenna device better perceives communication signals in the absence of large buildings, massive trees. Install the structure better at the highest point of the roof. The mast of the antenna is fixed on the slope of the house, located on the outside of the street. When the roof is level, the antenna is placed on the edge of the roof.

When placing a large number of antennas, it is worth keeping to the chess order.

Principles of correct installation of

First it is necessary to prepare tools:

• Electric drill;
• Screwdriver with different nozzles;
• Drilling tools;
• Hammer;
• Keys;
• TV for checking the received TV signal.

After determining the location of the antenna, you can start mounting the satellite mast. The frame looks like an iron corner. It is fixed with brackets, bolts, staples.
At the beginning, holes for fasteners are made. Anchor bolts are inserted into the holes( diameter 0.1 centimeter).
Strong fixation of the antenna will provide stretch marks. They will save the satellite dish from the wind load. To do this, use strong cables and attach them to the mast.
It is worth taking into account and the material of the roof. On the roof of the shingles, the antenna is installed on a ridge board or pediment. With a slate roof, the construction is made on a slope, the soft roof - on the pediments of the front. A roof made of board material can withstand the attachment of the antenna directly to its structure.

Final recommendations for the arrangement of the

antenna After the antenna is attached, the process of the final connection to the network takes place. Receivers of the satellite are connected to the cable that is carried to the apartment room. The cable is inserted into the receptacle of the receiving device. It is important to secure the cable, isolating it by 1 centimeter. The wire is fixed with brackets and small nails.

It is important to note: when installing the antenna, great importance is given to the lightning rod. Metal structures are grounded. This action will protect the roof from damage, and people in the room from injuries.
