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
• Adjustable wrench or one 16 mm and one 24 mm wrench
• Phillips screwdriver
• Shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling should be used for
all wired Ethernet connections and should be grounded
through the AC ground of the PoE.
We recommend that you protect your networks from the
most brutal environments and devastating ESD attacks
with industrial-grade shielded Ethernet cable from Ubiquiti
Networks. For more details, visit www.ubnt.com/toughcable
Hardware Installation
To install the PowerBridgeM10, perform the following steps:
1. Align the Radio to the back of the Dish.

2. On the front of the Dish, use the four M4x18 Screw and
Washer Assemblies to secure the Radio to the Dish.

3. Connect the Elevation Rod to the back of the Dish using a
M10x25 Bolt, a M10 Washer, a M10 Spring Lock Washer, and
a M10 Hex Nut. Install a M16 Hex Nut about halfway down
on the Elevation Rod and then install a M16 Washer on the
Elevation Rod.
4. Insert the four M10x150 Carriage Bolts into the Mounting
Bracket.

5. Connect the Mounting Bracket to the Dish:
a. Insert two M10x25 Bolts through the bottom of the
Mounting Bracket and through the Dish. The bolts
should be on the inside facing outward.
b. Secure each bolt using a M10 Washer, a M10 Spring Lock
Washer, and a M10 Hex Nut.
c. Slide the Mounting Bracket onto the Elevation Rod.
d. Secure the Mounting Bracket to the Elevation Rod using
a M16 Washer, a M16 Spring Lock Washer, and a M16
HexNut.

6. Lift the cover on the Radio by pressing down and raising
it up. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Radio and place
the cover back on the Radio. There is an opening for the
Ethernet cable. Slide the cover over the cable.
7. Make sure the O-Ring is secure on the Feed.

Installer Compliance Responsibility
Devices must be professionally installed and it is the
professional installer’s responsibility to make sure the device is
operated within local country regulatory requirements.
Since Ubiquiti Networks equipment can be paired with a
variety of antennas and cables, the Antenna Gain, Cable Loss,
and Output Power fields are provided to the professional
installer to assist in meeting regulatory requirements.

these channels for operation of your link.
2. In the airOS Configuration Interface of the
PowerBridgeM10, activate the Frequency Scan List option
and click the Edit
3. Select the free channel and save your changes.
4. Follow the same steps (1-3) for your second
PowerBridgeM10 (at the other end of the link).
5. Check the Fresnel zone; this must be free.
6. In the airOS Configuration Interface of the
PowerBridgeM10, use the Speed Test application. Adjust the
direction of the link for optimal performance.
7. Tighten all screws of the antenna.
8. Set TX power in accordance with VO-R/14/12.2006-38.
