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 professional installer’s responsibility to follow local
country regulations, including operation within legal frequency channels, output power, and
Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) requirements.

Installation Requirements
• Phillips screwdriver
• 13 mm wrench
• 7 mm socket wrench or screwdriver
• Shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling with drain wire
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
harmful outdoor environments and destructive ESD events
with industrial‑grade, shielded Ethernet cable from Ubiquiti
Networks. For more details, visit www.ubnt.com/toughcable
• Surge protection should be used for all outdoor installations.
We recommend that you use two Ethernet Surge Protectors,
model ETH‑SP, one near the LiteBeam and the other at the
entry point to the building. The ETH‑SP will absorb power
surges and safely discharge them into the ground.

mounting on a pole.
1. Assemble the antenna reflector by attaching the
SideReflector Panels to the Center Reflector Panel:
a. Insert the two locating pins on the Center Reflector Panel
into the corresponding holes of the Side Reflector Panel.
b. Use two Screws to fasten the top and bottom of the
two panels.
c. Repeat the assembly for the other Side Reflector Panel.

2. Use two Screws to fasten each Side Plate to the panel
assembly.

3. Hold the reflector assembly by hand (do not use a tabletop
or flat surface) and insert the Feed Receiver:
a. Line up the three snap hooks and two mounting studs
of the Feed Receiver with the corresponding slots and
holes of the Center ReflectorPanel.
b. Press the snap hooks into the slots and insert
the heads of the two mounting studs into the
correspondingholes.
WARNING: Do not install the Feed Receiver into the
reflector assembly by pushing down onto a tabletop or
other flat surface as this can deform the panels. Hold the
reflector assembly by hand.
