Hardware Installation

1. Secure the Antenna Feed to the Dish Reflector using the four
M4 Bolts and a Phillips screwdriver.

Note: Do not handle the Dish Reflector by the Antenna Feed once the feed

is installed.

2. Connect the RF Cables to the RF Connectors on the Antenna
Feed.

Note: TL-ANT2424MD doesn't require this step, please go directly to step 3.

3. Attach the Base Station to the Dish Reflector as follows:

a. Align the mounting tabs on the back of the Base Station with

the four mounting slots on the Base Station mounting bracket.

b. Slide the Base Station down until it locks into place.

4. Connect the other ends of the RF Cables to the Base Station.

5

5. Attach the Elevation Rod to the Antenna-mount Bracket using
the flat washers and nuts as shown below.

6. Attach the M10x150 Carriage Bolt Assemblies to the
Antenna-mount Bracket：

a. Remove the flat washer, spring washer, and nut that are

threaded on each M10x150 Carriage Bolt Assembly. Set them
aside as they will be used to secure the antenna to a pole in
step 8.

b. Insert the four M10x150 Carriage Bolts into the

Antenna-mount Bracket.

6

7. Attach the Dish Reflector to the Antenna-mount Bracket:

a. Secure one M10x35 Carriage Bolt Assembly to attach the

Dish Reflector to the Elevation Rod.

b. Secure two M10x35 Carriage Bolt Assemblies to attach the

Dish Reflector to the lower section of the Antenna-mount
bracket.

7

8. Mount the antenna assembly to the pole using the two
Pole-mount Clamps and the four sets of flat washers, spring
washers and nuts of the M10x150 Carriage Bolt Assemblies.

Note:

1.Pole diameter ranges from 1.5 in to 4.0 in.

2.Do not over-tighten these bolts and nuts to allow angle adjustment later.

3.In step 8 to 9, use the Level Vital to ensure proper alignment.

9. Adjust the antenna azimuth and elevation angles with the front
facing the intended signal receiving devices to achieve
maximum signal strength:

a. To adjust azimuth, loosen the four nuts on the Pole-mount

Clamps slightly to pivot the antenna, then tighten the nuts.

b. To adjust the elevation angle, tighten or loosen the Elevation

Nuts on the Elevation Rod to the desired tilt.
