AR/GE/FE/U 80/80X Installation Manual 3. Course align azimuth (i.e. sidetoside or horizontal) and tighten 4 carriage bolts to secure pole mounts. 4. Loosen the 4 azimuth lock bolts. 5. Adjust eyebolt length using a 9/16” openend wrench to required location. 6. Secure the 4 azimuth lock bolts (tighten untl lock washers are flattend). Figure 3.63: Azimuth adjustment bolts (Note: Antenna not shown for clarity) It is very important that the azimuth bolts are tightened before any elevation adjustment is attempted. The very narrow beam width of these antennas (0.4º and 0.9º) makes it necessary to completely tighten the bolts of the azimuth adjustment while adjusting the elevation and vice versa. 7. Loosen the 2 antenna mounting bolts 8. Rotate elevation fine adjust hex nut as required to set correct elevation (i.e. updown or vertical). Do not try to adjust the elevation fine adjust bolt without first loosening the antenna bolts (step 7). Doing so may damage the brass elevation adjustment pin. 9. Tighten the 2 antenna mounting bolts after correct elevation is set. Figure 3.64: Elevation fine adjustment 15 58000519 rev. D
AR/GE/FE/U 80/80X Installation Manual 3.7 Cable Installation 3.7.1 Fiber Cabling 1. Install a duplex multimode fiber from the radio to the network termination equipment (switch or router with 1000BaseX port). The cable should be looped around the inside of the enclosure to provide strainrelief. Do not connect the fibers to the radio’s fiber ports at this time. The connectors on the radio end of the fiber require two LC connectors; the connectors on the switch/router end should mate to the network equipment. 2. Connect fibers at the network equipment. It is important not to connect the fibers to the radio until after aligning the radio as the radio performs an automatic calibration once the fiber is inserted into the radio and this calibration will not operate properly if the radio is not properly aligned. If this inadvertently occurs while the radio is powered on, unplug the fibers and power cycle the radio. 3.7.2 Power Cabling 1. Select indoor location, with easy cable routing to the radio, for the AC power adaptor. Normally it is convenient, but not required, to place the adaptor near the network termination equipment. 2. Ensure the DC wire used is 14gauge type and no longer than 125 meters; or 12gauge and no longer then 200 meters. 3. Connect the provided DC Connectors onto the 14guage wire using a splicing/crimping tool. For the use of 12gauge wire it may be necessary to trim a few strands from the ends of thicker stranded cables to more easily fit the crimp connectors. 4. Install the DC power cable and attach to the AC adaptor using the supplied crimp connectors. Do not connect the power jack to the radio at this time. The fiber and power cables are inserted through the straight through fitting before the 3/4" flexible conduit is connected to the fitting. Ensure that the cables do not get pinched when the conduit is pushed onto the fitting. Both cables should be looped around the inside of the enclosure to minimize tension on the cables when connected to the radio and to maintain proper bendradius of the fiber cable.
