Installation
Important: Handle the Dish Reflector with care.
Deformations in its shape may reduce the antenna's
effectiveness.
1. Each M4 Bolt includes a lock washer. Remove these and use
them to secure the bolts when assembling.
2. 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. Insert the six M4 Bolts into the Antenna Feed and Dish
Reflector.
c. Tighten the six M4 Bolts.
Important: Do NOT handle the antenna by the Antenna
Feed once the feed is attached.
3. Attach the RF Cables to the connectors labeled Chain 0 and
Chain 1 on the airFiber radio.
4. Attach the airFiber radio to the Dish Reflector.
a. Align the mounting tabs on the back of the airFiber
radio with the airFiber radio mount located below the
Antenna Feed.
b. Slide the airFiber radio down to lock it into place.
5. Attach the other end of the RF Cables to the RF connectors
on the airFiber radio in this combination: +45° to Chain0
and -45° to Chain 1. Then slide the jackets over the RF
connectors to protect them.
6. Attach the external GPS antenna (included with the airFiber
radio) to the RF connector labeled GPS on the airFiber
radio. Slide the jacket over the RF connector to protect it.
Then place the magnetic external GPS antenna on the Dish
Reflector (this is temporary; you will mount the external
GPS antenna last).

b. Rotate the shroud clockwise until it aligns with the long
hash mark to lock into place.
8. The Elevation Rod includes washers and nuts. Remove one
flat washer, one spring lock washer, and one nut. Use them
to secure the Elevation Rod when assembling.
9. Attach the Elevation Rod to the Mounting Bracket.
a. Insert the Elevation Rod into the Mounting Bracket.
b. Secure the Elevation Rod with the flat washer, spring
lock washer, and nut.
10. Each M12x180 Carriage Bolt includes a flat washer, spring
lock washer, and nut. Remove these and use them to
secure the bolts when assembling in step 16.
