Mounting on Pole
1. Fasten the
assembled Mount to
a maximum 4.5" OD
mounting pipe using
pole mounts as
shown. Position so
that face of mounting
plate is parallel to
desired beam path.
2. Align center hole of
antenna with pivot
pin, and elevation
slot with elevation
pin. Push antenna
towards mount and
engage pins. Hold in
place.
IMPORTANT: Do
not loosen the 4
bolts securing the
upper and lower

Azimuth Adjustment:
1. Loosen the 4 Azimuth Lock Bolts so mounting plate can move.
Caution: Failure to loosen bolts before adjusting will result in damage
to mount
2. Adjust mounting plate using eyebolt adjustment nuts to drive antenna to
required location. Monitor RCL (Receive Carrier Level) and adjust per
radio manufacturer’s instructions. Verify antenna is adjusted on main
beam by passing through main beam and out to left and right 1st
sidelobe. Return antenna to main beam RCL.
3. Securely tighten the 4 Azimuth Lock Bolts.
4. Securely tighten eyebolt adjustment nuts.
5. Re-check Elevation and adjust if necessary

Elevation adjustment:
1. Loosen (2) Antenna Mounting Bolts slightly so antenna is able to move.
Loosening bolts excessively will cause difficulty during adjustment.
Caution: Failure to loosen bolts before adjusting will result in
damage to mount
2. Rotate Elevation Adjustment Nut
as required to set elevation.
Monitor RCL (Receive Carrier
Level) and adjust per radio
manufacturer’s instructions.
Verify antenna is adjusted on
main beam by passing through
main beam and out to upper and
lower 1st side lobe. Return
antenna to main beam RCL.
Note: Adjustment is smoother
when adjusting beam upward.
(Drive antenna down past
desired location and adjust while
driving antenna up.)
3. Tighten mounting bolts securely after elevation is set.
4. Re-check Azimuth and adjust if necessary.
Final Inspection:
When the antenna orientation is satisfactory, re-check all hardware and
torque to 15 Lb-Ft (20.3 N-m)
After the installation:
Inspection of the antenna should be performed at least once a year to check
its condition and to ensure safe operation and maintenance.
