Hardware Installation
Important: Handle the Dish Reflector with care.
Deformations in its shape may reduce the RocketDish'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 four M4 Bolts into the Antenna Feed and Dish
Reflector.
c. Tighten the four M4 Bolts.
Important: Do not handle the RocketDish by the Antenna
Feed once the feed is connected.
3. Attach the RF Cables to the connectors labeled Chain 0 and
Chain 1 on the RocketM.
4. Attach the RocketM to the Dish Reflector.
a. Align the mounting tabs on the back of the RocketM
with the Rocket Mounting Bracket located below the
Antenna Feed.
b. Slide the RocketM down to lock it into place.
5. Attach the other ends of the RF Cables to the RF connectors
on the Antenna Feed.
6. Attach the Protective Shroud.
a. Align the arrow on the top of the shroud with the short
hash mark on the Dish Reflector.
b. Rotate the shroud clockwise until it aligns with the long
hash mark to lock into place.
