If the combiner assembly is to be installed in the field, all that needs to be done is to swap out the standard antenna
bracket and replace it with the combiner antenna bracket. Note that this modified bracket is shipped with the combiner
assembly already mounted on the bracket. Instructions on how to swap antenna brackets are as follows:
