Hardware Installation
Important: Handle the Dish Reflector with care.
Deformations to its shape may degrade performance.
1. The Dish Reflector and Antenna Feed are keyed so the Antenna Feed can only be installed in a single orientation.
Attach the Antenna Feed to the Dish Reflector in the
following steps:
a. Line up the alignment pin on the Dish Reflector with the
hole on the Antenna Feed.
b. Fasten the Antenna Feed to the Dish Reflector using the
four M4 Bolts.
c. Tighten the four M4 Bolts.
M4 Bolts
Important: Do not handle the antenna by the Antenna
Feed once the feed is connected.

2. Remove the nut from the ground bonding point located on
the back of the airFiber radio.

3. Attach a ground wire (min. 10 AWG or 5 mm2) to the lug
and replace the nut to secure the wire.
4. At the installation site, secure the other end of the ground
wire to a grounded mast, pole, tower, or grounding bar.
WARNING: Failure to properly ground your
airFiber radio will void your warranty.
Note: The ground wire should be as short as
possible and no longer than one meter in length.

Remove one washer, one spring lock washer, and one nut.
Use them to secure the Elevation Rod when assembling.
11. Attach the Elevation Rod to the Mounting Bracket.
a. Insert the Elevation Rod into the Mounting Bracket.
b. Secure the Elevation Rod with the washer, spring lock
washer, and nut.
Note: Each Carriage Bolt includes a washer, spring lock
washer, and nut. Remove these and use them to secure
the bolts in the following steps.
12. Insert the four M10x150Carriage Bolts into the Mounting Bracket.
Page 10
13. Attach the Dish Reflector to the Mounting Bracket.

Stabilizer Brackets.
a. Slide a Pole Clamp over each pair of M10x150
CarriageBolts.
b. Secure each Carriage Bolt with one washer, one spring
lock washer, and one nut.
Note: Do not tighten the nuts yet. The antenna
should be able to rotate around the pole to allow for
azimuth adjustment in the next step.
Page 13
16. Visually align the azimuth and elevation.
a. To adjust the azimuth, rotate the antenna while it is
supported by the Stabilizer Brackets.
b. To adjust the elevation angle, tighten or loosen the nuts
on the Elevation Rod so that the Dish Reflector is set to
the desired tilt.
c. Tighten all bolts and nuts to approximately 50N-m.
