Attachment of Antenna SupportClampDetermine Strut Orientation.Suitable mounting points must be provided on thetower or main support structure prior to installation of theazimuth adjustment strut and the fixed strut (if required).For structural efficiency, the struts should be installed par-allel to the antenna axis (ie in the direction of final trans-mission path). When it is not possible to mount the struts inthis manner due to tower or outrigger considerations, thestruts may be positioned anywhere within an angular 'cone'relative to the reflector axis as shown in Figure 9.Azimuth Adjustment Strut Installation.Attach 'U'-bracket to reflector mounting ring at point'D', as shown in Figure 6, using an M20 x 45mm long bolt,lockwasher & nut. Attach the pre-drilled end of the azimuthadjustment strut to the azimuth 'U'-bracket on the reflectorusing an M20 x 90mm long bolt, lockwasher & nut as shownin Figure 6. Do not fully tighten at this stage.Assemble the azimuth adjustment components and the strutclamp on to the free end of the strut as shown in Figure 6.Position the azimuth adjustment nuts such that they areapproximately at the mid-point of the azimuth bolt threads.Tighten the 'U'-bolt and clamp assembly set screws suffi-ciently enough to prevent the assembly from falling off thestrut at this stage.Rotate the antenna in azimuth until pointing (as closely aspossible) in the direction of the final transmission path.Loosen the azimuth adjustment assembly 'U'-bolt and clampset screws and slide the assembly until the clamp can beinstalled on a suitable tower member. Fully tighten the 'U'-bolt nuts to secure the angle bracket to the strut. Ensurethat the tab of the azimuth bolt is secured against the strutclamp using the locknut provided. Take up excessive slackin the remaining hardware at this stage in order to performfinal azimuth and elevation adjustments.8TowerMemberØ18mm Hole forM16 Bolt9Side StrutClamp AssemblyM16 Lockwasher& NutSide Strut'U'-Bolt
Elevation and Azimuth Adjustment.Normally several alternating adjustments in eleva-tion and azimuth will be required to achieve optimum trans-mission path alignment. Begin by adjusting the antenna inelevation using the concave faced nuts on the elevationeyebolt until the antenna is as close as possible to its finaltransmission path direction. Correct any azimuth mis-align-ment by adjusting the azimuth adjusting strut. Repeat thesequence as necessary.Once alignment is achieved, carefully tighten all mount andstrut hardware, taking care not to disturb the antenna posi-tioning. The following hardware tightening sequence is rec-ommended.4. Fully tighten bolt attaching elevation eyebolt to eleva-tion hinge bracket.5. Fully tighten the bolt passing through the azimuth 'U'-bracket and strut.6. Fully tighten bolt attaching fixed strut to mounting ring(if applicable).7. Tighten the strut clamp assembly of the azimuth strutand then the clamp assembly of the fixed strut (ifrequired). Do this by first loosening the jam nuts. Nexttighten the setscrews until they touch the strut. Thentighten them 1¼ turns more so that their cup points cutinto the strut. Tighten the locknuts against the bracket.8. Fully tighten the nuts securing the clamp assembliesto the tower members.9. Finally re-check that all hardware has been tight-ened.M20 x 45mm lg BoltM12 X 35mm lgBoltAzimuthAdjustmentAssemblyStrutAn 13.5mm (max) DiameterClearance Hole in an Appro-priate Tower Member (forM12 Bolt) is Required.Tower Member(not supplied)BracketNote : Holes should not bedrilled without prior approvalof the tower or support struc-ture manufacturer.Figure 8.

8(10) 7. Installation of the planar radome (only U and D-Types) Take care to avoid kinking of planar radomes during installation. Kinking would destroy the radomes, which are non-repairable! • Unpack the radome and carefully stretch it over the shroud aperture. • Orient the drainhole grommet exactly to the bottom point of antenna, opposite TOP. • Attach J-bolts with springs and smooth radome down as the springs are attached, but do not displace the edge protector. • Align the length of springs to approx. 135 mm at each J-bolt, this will provide proper radome tension. 8. Hoisting on tower 2 ropes fixed on the mount for optimal balance Edge protector 135 mm
