Installation Instructions
UDS Antenna´s Family
With 90 cm Diameter

DESCRIPTION
The UDS antenna´s family are the Ultra High Performance antennas, operating in single polarization,
provided by Brasilsat Harald S/A. The antennas are designed for short-haul microwave systems in all
common frequency ranges from 7 GHz to 23 GHz. They are typically deployed in dense urban areas,
metropolitan and suburban locations, aggregation points. They are especially optimized to integrated
radios to reduce costs, installation complexity and time.
This Installation Instruction is valid for antennas in the following version:
• Antenna models: UDS71-09S; UDS107-09S; UDS144-09S; UDS177-09S and UDS212-09S
• Reflector Ø 90 cm;
• Single polarization;
• Standard mount for support pipe Ø 114 mm;
• Reflector aperture covered by a radome;
• The design allows a fine adjustment range of +-10° for elevation and +-15°for azimuth;
NOTE
This instruction must be read completely before starting the installation.
The installation/maintenance/removal need to be made by qualified personnel.
Brasilsat Harald S/A disclaims any responsibility for the result of improper and unsafe
installation.
The pole/tower/other structural element involved to support the complete antenna as
described in this instruction must be verified/approved by structural specialist in respect
to all the national/local regulation.
All the required tools/instruments must be available.
It is important to mount the antennas exactly as described in this document. Don’t use
any parts, screws/nuts, not included in the packaging or not recommended by the
supplier.
The Antenna system should be inspected once a year by qualified and experienced
personnel to verify proper installation/maintenance/condition of equipments.

2.2.3 Install Anti-slide corner bracket
First roughly decide the direction of the antenna. Install the corner bracket onto the proper height of the
mounting pole. The channel steel direction should be 45°between the antenna directions as shown in
figure 5. Fasten all the nuts in the end.

2.2.4 Lift the antenna to a tower
Lift the antenna to a tower with a rope through the lifting hole as shown in figure 6. In order to avoid the
antenna rotation, you need to tow the antenna with another rope as shown in figure 6.
`
Figure 6 - Lift the antenna
Attention: To avoid falling and damage, please make sure the rope is tighten before lifting. During
the installation, please protect the antenna from hitting of other objects due to the wave of the antenna
resulting from the wind or other causes.
2.2.5 Install the antenna to the mounting pole
Lift the antenna on the anti-slip corner bracket of the mounting pole. Diameter ranges of pole for this
Mounting Bracket: Φ115 mm. Install the antenna to the mounting pole with 2 U-bolts, 8 nuts (M14), 4 Flat
washers. Mounting assembly must be clung to the anti-slip corner bracket. Moreover, the channel steel
direction should be 45°between the antenna directions as shown in figure 7. Don’t fasten all the nuts
now.
