I need to begin my cable run at the bottom of a downspout, ~ 10' from the eve. Can this be installed closer to the bottom of the downspout?

Bottom of down spout is not appropriate for this unit given how ice damns are formed. Use an extension cord of proper current rating to connect cable in down spout to the controller.

not sure, but, you want to protect the outlet and plugin from the weather. ideally the temp and wet/dry sensor is designed to lay in the gutter.

As far as I know the downspout has to be rectangular. Maybe you can bend a round one.

You could do it, but I would worry about interference from the power line on any cables you are running, assuming you are feeding them all straight down. They would be right next to each other. I have read power cables and coax cables should not be close to each other, and if they are, they should intersect at right angles to each other.

as for the cable it self. you want to use the shortest run possible (the longer the run the more chance for signal degradation and interference) You can mitigate some of this by using a "quad shielded" cable. Again, try to get the least distance between your set and the antenna. If you run more than one set or you are farter from the TV station than 50 miles. You will need a antenna booster.

I would want to go up one side and down the other. I think nine feet would work well with enough to plug in.

Probably too far considering the need for the cord to be in the water and attached at the ankles. I use the ladder in the pool and it works perfectly every time. Enjoy, this equipment works very well.

I have mine mounted under a eve and it does not get direct exposure. If you aim it downward it should be fine. be cautious when opening the wiring access back box and seal the 120V cable hole back up using the cable pass-thru grommet.

Hello Alex, Yes the body of the cable can be outside. However the cable cannot be installed with direct burial underground. If you were feeding the cable through the ground, it would need to be fed through a PVC pipe. Thanks, Mediabridge Customer Support

Antenna base bottom to tip 29 1/2 inches. Cable approx 16 1/2 feet. good luck.

There are 2 bolt holes in the bottom and 2 on the back for securing it to something. I suppose you could run a cable through one or both.

If you keep the run under 30 feet it will be fine. 50 feet should work, but for reliability and better life and performance would suggest RG-213 coax. It will rssist salt water problems better also. In either case be sure to seal the connectors with sealant.

If you installation is good - good coax and connectors, I would say there is nothing you can do, other than raise it higher off the ground. I sent mine back.

No you can't. After switching to thinner cable, I could make it to touch ground in 10ft ceiling garage. I did a very careful engineering study when I switched to thinner (but higher grade) cable. If you simply increase the length of the cable with stock cable diameter, the cable will not wind evenly due to excess wraps. The cable may kink itself in the process of uncontrolled overlapping. I do not recommend any situation of uncontrolled overlapping. I am an engineering working in the field of cable actuated mechanism.

just run 12 guage thats what I ran but if it is over 50ft i would drop down to 10 gusge. The terminals are big enough to take them both

Yes you can put it at the bottom of the tank. The cord is definitely long enough depending on where your outlet is.

Not sure, I guess just screw it into the bottom if you have enough clearance below.

I wouldn't try it underwater, but otherwise it's all weather :) I would agree to wrap the connection once you have it installed.
