Installation Requirements

Hardware Installation

Important: Handle the Dish Reflector with care. Deformations in its shape may reduce the antenna’s effectiveness.

  1. Note: Ensure that the antenna feed slot of the Mounting Bracket lines up with the antenna feed slot of the Dish Reflector, as shown:

  2. IMPORTANT: The Dish Reflector and Antenna Feed are keyed so the Antenna Feed can only be installed in a single orientation.

    Note: Ensure that the straight edge of the Antenna Feed end (as shown) and arrow on the Antenna Feed cap are pointing straight up.

  3. Note: Hand-tighten until the knob touches the surface of the Mounting Bracket. Then use a wrench or channel lock pliers to tighten the knob an additional ¼ turn. Do NOT over-tighten the knob.

    Note: Ensure that the Antenna Feed is securely attached by the knob.

    IMPORTANT: Do not handle the antenna by the Antenna Feed once the feed is connected.

  4. Note: The magnetic GPS antenna is included with the airFiber radio. Place it on the Mounting Bracket (this is temporary; you will place the GPS antenna on the GPS antenna mount later).

  5. Note: Ensure that each Lock Washer is always installed between the Hex Head Bolt and Flat Washer.

  6. Note: Ensure that the degree settings are facing outward and are the same on both arms of the Upper Pole Bracket.

  7. IMPORTANT: Before adjusting the tilt angle, ensure that the six Hex Head Bolts are loose enough to allow movement. If you cannot spin the washers freely by hand, then loosen the Hex Head Bolts until you can.

Mounting the GPS Antenna

Locate a mounting point that has a clear view to the sky, and is above and as far away as possible from the antenna.

Note: All GPS items are included with the airFiber radio.
