Installation Requirements
- 5 GHz airFiber radio (sold separately)
- Phillips #1 screwdriver
- 16 mm wrench
- 24 mm wrench
- Clear view of the sky for proper GPS operation
- Mounting point:
- At least 1 m below the highest point on the structure
- For tower installations, at least 3 m below the top of the tower
- Ground wire – min. 10 AWG (5 mm2) and max. length: 1 m. As a safety precaution, ground the airFiber radio to a grounded mast, pole, tower, or grounding bar.
- Shielded Category 6 (or above) cabling should be used for all wired Ethernet connections and should be grounded through the AC ground of the PoE.
WARNING: Failure to properly ground your airFiber radio will void your warranty. |
Hardware Installation
IMPORTANT: Handle the Dish Reflector with care. Deformations in its shape may reduce the antenna’s effectiveness. |
IMPORTANT: The Dish Reflector and Antenna Feed are keyed so the Antenna Feed can only be installed in a single orientation. |
IMPORTANT: Do not handle the antenna by the Antenna Feed once the feed is connected. |
Note: The magnetic GPS antenna is included with the airFiber radio. Place it on the Dish Reflector (this is temporary; you will place the GPS antenna on the GPS antenna mount later). |
Mounting the GPS Antenna
Locate a mounting point that has a clear view to the sky, and is above and as far away as possible from the antenna.
Note: All GPS items are included with the airFiber radio. |
