3.6 Antenna and Radio Installation 1. Install – Antenna and Radio
Figures 3-7 and 3-8: The first letter of the designated Polarization is sta mped onto each unit to
identify orientations when the polarity mark is positioned on top: illustratio ns above are for
Horizontal (left) and Vertical polarity right).
CAUTION!
It is critically important during installation to ensure the radios on each side of the
link are in the same polarization (horizontal-horizontal or vertical-vertical). A li nk
that has a radio on one side of the link set in the horizont al polarization and the
other side of the link set in the vertical polarization will not operate properly.
Further, it i s also critically important that a high-band radio is paired with a low-
band radio to ensure the system will operate properly. Prior to instal lation check
each radio to verify one is a high-band and the other is a low-band version. The
label on the radio will indicate the band (blue for high or red for low).
2. Verify that the four (4) captive 3/8-16 bolts with lock and flat washer are in place.
A 9/16-inch open-end wrench is required to tighten them. It is important that all
four screws are tightened evenly (hand tight, 1 to 2 turns each until the lock
washer is flattened)
3. Adjust azimuth illustration (Side to Side)
