Assembly
Step 1 –Spherical radome (26-38GHz only)
For frequencies 6-23GHz, skip Step 1 and go directly to Step 2.
For frequencies 26-38GHz, proceed with Step 1a-1d.
a) Mount 7pcs M4 Clip ( 1) to Reflector ( 2).
b) Position Spherical radom ( 3) with convex side pointing downward.
c) Place Reflector ( 2) onto Spherical radom ( 3) and align the edge holes on both parts with each other.
d) Assemble the parts ( 2) ( 3) using already mounted 7pcs M4 Clip ( 1) and 7pcs M4 screw / 7pcs Washer M4 ( 4). Tighten screws
to torque of 2.6 Nm ± 5%.
Step 2 –Radio unique installation
For assembling of radio interfaces; see radio unique installation instruction.
