Installation Instructions
Ensure a torque spanner is used when tightening fasteners, see the mounting kit
diagrams on the following pages for the correct torque recommendations.
Ensure antenna is installed with the connectors and drainage holes at the bottom.
Installation Instructions - Fixed Downtilt Mounting Kit (F-042-GL-E)
Assemble both mounting brackets to the antenna as per Figures 1, 2 & 3 of this document.
Attach the mounting kit assembly to the antenna, before trying to clamp the brackets
to the pole.
The clamp brackets can clamp pipe diameters between 75 mm (3") & 115 mm (4.5").
For typical installations the minimum recommended pipe diameter is 85 mm (3.3").

Do not install near power lines. Power lines,
telephone lines, and guy wires look the same.
Assume any wire or line can electrocute you.
Do not install on a wet or windy day or
when lightning or thunder is in the area.
Do not use metal ladder.
Wear shoes with rubber soles and heels.
Wear protective clothing including a
long-sleeved shirt and rubber gloves.

Installation Instructions - Mechanically Adjustable Downtilt Mounting Kit
(T-041-GL-E) , Bracket Spacing 976 mm (38.4")
Assemble both mounting brackets as per Figures 3 and 4 of this document.
1. Attach the lower and upper mounting bracket assemblies to the antenna, before
clamping the brackets to the pole. Mechanical downtilt angles of 0to 12in 2
increments can be obtained with the correct setting of the tilt arm bracket. For 0
mechanical downtilt the tilt arm may be stowed as show in Figure 5.
2. 2-12mechanical downtilt in 2steps can be achieved by aligning the
corresponding hole in the tilt arm to the pivot bracket which mates against the
mounting pole, as shown in Figure 5 or Figure 6. The first hole is for 2
mechanical downtilt, with each consecutive hole resulting in an increased
inclination of 2.
3. When the tilt arm is used in the upper antenna bracket as shown in Figures 5, the
mechanical tilt can be set to 0°or to any angle from 2°to 12°in 2°steps. The
electrical beams emerge from the front of the antenna with a 6°electrical downtilt
so 6°needs to be added to the mechanical tilt to find the actual pointing of the
beams.
4. When the tilt arm is used in the lower mounting bracket as shown in Figure 6, the
mechanical uptilt can be set to 0°or to any angle from 2°to 12°in 2°steps. The
electrical beams emerge from the front of the antenna with a 6°electrical downtilt
so the mechanical uptilt needs to be subtracted from the 6°electrical downtilt to
find the actual downtilt of the beams.
The clamp brackets can clamp pipe diameters between 75 mm (3") & 115 mm (4.5").
For typical installations the minimum recommended pipe diameter is 85 mm (3.3").

Labelling of Antenna Beams
This antenna radiates 5 beams. As mentioned in connection with tilting of the antenna, the beams
point downwards relative to the front face of the antenna at an angle of 6°. In the horizontal plane,
the beams are at azimuth angles of -40°(i.e. 40°to the left of boresight when looking at the
antenna from the rear), -20°, 0°, +20°, +40°(i.e. 40°to the right of boresight when looking at the
antenna from the rear). There are 10 connectors to the antenna, one for each beam of the antenna
at a polarization of +45°and one for each beam at a polarization of -45°.
The pairs of connectors for each beam direction are shown in Figure 7.

Operation of Antennas
RF Cable
Connection
The 7-16 female connectors fitted to the antenna are designed to fit jumper
cables with a standard 7-16 RF male connector. After ensuring both mating
connectors are dry push the male connector in and tighten the connector
coupling to 23 –28 Nm (17 -21 ft.lb).
If needed or as required by local procedures a weatherproofing kit may
then be fitted to the connection.
If the RF connectors are tightened beyond the recommend torque the RF
connection to the antenna may be damaged.
