Use the antenna as a template to mark the locations of the four mounting holes. Step 2 Use a drill and a 3/16-in. (4.7 mm) drill bit to drill four holes at the locations you marked in Step 2. Step 3 Start a plastic anchor into each hole.
Mount the antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where the lead-in wire enters the building. Step 4 Drill a hole in the building’s wall as close as possible to the equipment to which you will connect the lead-in cable.
