TERMS OF USE: Ubiquiti radio devices must be professionally installed. Shielded Ethernet
cable and earth grounding must be used as conditions of product warranty. TOUGHCable™
is designed for outdoor installations. It is the customer’s responsibility to follow local country
regulations, including operation within legal frequency channels, output power, and Dynamic
Frequency Selection (DFS) requirements.

Installation Requirements
• Rocket™5ac PtP, Rocket5ac Lite, RocketM5 Titanium, or
RocketM5 (sold separately)
• Phillips screwdriver
• 13 mm wrench
• Wrench or channel lock pliers with 63.5 mm (2.5") capacity
• Shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling should be used for
all wired Ethernet connections and should be grounded

Installation
Important: Handle the Dish Reflector with care.
Deformations in its shape may reduce the RocketDish's
effectiveness.
1. Line up the alignment tabs of the Mounting Bracket with
the alignment slots of the Dish Reflector. Insert the tabs and
rotate the Mounting Bracket until they lock intoplace.
Note: Ensure that the antenna feed slot of the
Mounting Bracket lines up with the antenna feed slot
of the Dish Reflector, as shown below:

2. The Dish Reflector and Antenna Feed are keyed so the
Antenna Feed can only be installed in a single orientation.
Follow these steps:
a. Remove the knob from the Antenna Feed.
b. Line up the alignment pins of the Antenna Feed with
the alignment holes of the Dish Reflector and Mounting
Bracket.
Note: Ensure that the straight edge of the
Antenna Feed end (shown below) and arrow on
the Antenna Feed cap are pointing straight up.
c. Insert the Antenna Feed.

3. To secure the Antenna Feed to the Dish Reflector:
a. Replace the knob and tighten it by hand until the knob
touches the surface of the Mounting Bracket.
b. Use a wrench or channel lock pliers to tighten the knob
an additional ¼ turn. Do NOT over-tighten the knob.
Note: Ensure that the Antenna Feed is securely
attached by the knob.
Important: Do not handle the RocketDish by the Antenna
Feed once the feed is attached.

4. Attach the Rocket to the Mounting Bracket.
a. Align the mounting tabs on the back of the Rocket with
the Rocket mount.
b. Slide the Rocket down to lock it into place.
5. Attach the other end of the RF Cables to the RF connectors
on the Rocket in this combination: Hto Chain 1 and Vto
Chain 0. Then slide the jackets over the RF connectors to
protect them.

6. Attach the Protective Shroud.
a. Align the hash mark on the top of the shroud with the
notch on the Dish Antenna.
b. Rotate the shroud clockwise until it locks into place.

7. Attach two Hex Head Bolts, two Lock Washers, and two Flat
Washers to the bottom of the Mounting Bracket. Ensure that
there is a gap of 8 mm between each Flat Washer and the
Mounting Bracket.
Note: Ensure that each Lock Washer is always
installed between the Hex Head Bolt and Flat Washer.

9. Attach the Brace to the pole brackets using the four Screws.

10. Each M8x150 Carriage Bolt includes a serrated flange nut.
Remove these and use them in the next step.
11. Attach one Pole Clamp to each pole bracket.
a. Insert two M8x150 Carriage Bolts into each pole bracket.
b. Slide the hole of a Pole Clamp over one bolt of each
pole bracket.
c. Place one serrated flange nut on each bolt.

12. Attach the Stabilizer Brackets to the pole just beneath the
area where the RocketDish will be attached.
Note: The pole-bracket assembly can accommodate
a Ø 38 - 101mm 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 bolt with one Serrated Flange Nut.

13. Attach the pole-bracket assembly to the pole:
a. Slide the slot of each Pole Clamp over the
corresponding M8x150 CarriageBolt.
b. Tighten the serrated flange nuts of the bolts to secure
the pole-bracket assembly to the pole.

14. Lift the Dish Reflector and align the two lower Hex Head
Bolts with the slots on the Lower Pole Bracket. Seat the bolts
in the slots.
15. Attach each arm of the Upper Pole Bracket to the Mounting
Bracket using a Hex Head Bolt, Lock Washer, and Flat Washer.

16. Before adjusting the tilt angle, ensure that the six Hex Head
Bolts are loose enough to allow movement.
IMPORTANT:If you cannot spin the washers freely by
hand, then loosen the Hex Head Bolts until you can.
17. To adjust the tilt angle, turn the screw head of the Elevation
Rod until the desired tilt is reached.
18. Lock the alignment by tightening all six Hex HeadBolts to
25 N-m.
