Hardware Installation
The LiteBeam AC was designed for outdoor use and quick mounting on a pole.
1.Assemble the antenna reflector by attaching the
SideReflectorPanels to the CenterReflectorPanel:
a.Insert the heads of the two mounting studs on the CenterReflectorPanel into the large opening of the slotted holes of the SideReflectorPanel.
b.Slide the SideReflectorPanel down until the top edges of the panels align. The SideReflectorPanel is captured when both heads of the mounting studs are positioned over the narrow opening of the slotted holes.
c. Repeat the assembly for the other SideReflectorPanel.
2.Hold the reflector assembly by hand (do not use a tabletop or flat surface) and insert the Feed Receiver into the reflector assembly to secure the panels:
a.Align the arrows on the CenterReflectorPanel and the Feed Receiver, and insert both edges of the SideReflector Panels and CenterReflectorPanels into the Securing Arms of the FeedReceiver.
b.Insert the Feed Receiver into the CenterReflectorPanel by pressing the top and bottom snap hooks into the slots of the CenterReflectorPanel.
WARNING: Do not install the Feed Receiver into the reflector assembly by pushing down onto a tabletop or other flat surface as this can deform the panels. Hold the reflector assembly by hand.
c.For additional support, there are eight machine screws that secure the SideReflectorPanels to the antenna assembly.
3.Insert the Antenna Feed into the Feed Receiver until the feed locks into place.
4.Turn the Port Cover counterclockwise to reveal the
EthernetPort on the Antenna Feed.
