Hardware Installation
Important: Handle the Dish Reflector with care.
Deformations in its shape may reduce the RocketDish's
effectiveness.
1. Each M4 Bolt includes a lock washer. Remove these and use
them to secure the bolts when assembling.
2. The Dish Reflector and Antenna Feed are keyed so the
Antenna Feed can only be installed in a single orientation.
Attach the Antenna Feed to the Dish Reflector in the
following steps:
a. Line up the alignment pin on the Dish Reflector with the
hole on the Antenna Feed.
b. Insert the six M4 Bolts into the Antenna Feed and Dish
Reflector.
c. Tighten the six M4 Bolts.
Important: Do not handle the RocketDish by the Antenna
Feed once the feed is connected.

3. Attach the RF Cables to the connectors labeled Chain 0 and
Chain 1 on the RocketM.
4. Attach the RocketM to the Dish Reflector.
a. Align the mounting tabs on the back of the RocketM
with the Rocket Mounting Bracket located below the
Antenna Feed.
b. Slide the RocketM down to lock it into place.

5. Attach the other ends of the RF Cables to the RF connectors
on the Antenna Feed.
6. Attach the Protective Shroud.
a. Align the arrow on the top of the shroud with the short
hash mark on the Dish Reflector.
b. Rotate the shroud clockwise until it aligns with the long
hash mark to lock into place.

7. The Elevation Rod includes washers and nuts. Remove one
washer, one spring lock washer, and one nut. Use them to
secure the Elevation Rod when assembling.
8. Attach the Elevation Rod to the Main Mounting Bracket.
a. Insert the Elevation Rod into the Main Mounting Bracket.
b. Secure the Elevation Rod with the washer, spring lock
washer, and nut.
9. Each M12x180 Carriage Bolt includes a washer, spring lock
washer, and nut. Remove these and use them to secure the
bolts when assembling in step 15.
10. Insert the four M12x180 Carriage Bolts into the Main
Mounting Bracket.

spring lock washer, and one nut.

13. Each M10x100 Bolt includes a washer, spring lock washer,
and nut. Remove these and use them to secure the bolts
when assembling.
14. Attach the Stabilizer Brackets to the pole just beneath the
area where the RocketDish will be attached.
Note: The mounting assembly can accommodate a
Ø 1.5" - 4.0" pole.
a. Place one Stabilizer Bracket on each side of the pole.
b. Insert the two M10x100 Bolts into the Stabilizer Brackets.
c. Secure each M10x100 Bolt with one washer, one spring
lock washer, and one nut.
d. Tighten the nuts to approximately 50N-m(37lb-ft).

15. Attach the Main Mounting Bracket to the pole just above
the Stabilizer Brackets.
a. Slide a Pole Clamp over each pair of M12x180
CarriageBolts.
b. Secure each M12x180 Carriage Bolt with one washer,
one spring lock washer, and one nut.
