Remove the 2 SMA cables from the antenna bracket to the RF distribution card using a Torx wrench.
• Remove cable 1 connected from port labeled -1- on the RF Dist module to the right-hand
antenna connector when the WAVEXpress is viewed from the front.
• Remove cable 2 connected from port labeled -2- on the RF Dist module to the middle antenna
connector when the WAVEXpress is viewed from the front.
Removing the standard antenna bracket
The antenna bracket is placed over two threaded studs located on the top of the WAVEXpress, locked in position using
nuts threaded over these studs and attached to the front of the WAVEXpress using 4 10-32 screws.
Step 1
To remove the original antenna bracket, unscrew the 4 10-32 screws holding the antenna bracket to
the front of the WAVEXpress.
Step 2
Using a 3/8î wrench, unscrew the two 10-32 nuts holding the antenna bracket in place over the
threaded studs located on the top of the WAVEXpress.
Step 3
Lift the antenna bracket off the threaded studs.
Attaching the combiner antenna bracket
Step 1
Place the new antenna bracket over the two threaded studs on the top side of the WAVEXpress. Move
the antenna bracket in position so that the four screw holes on the front of the antenna bracket and the
front of the WAVEXpress are lined up.
Step 2
Using a 3/8 wrench, thread the 2 10-32 nuts with washers over the threaded studs and tighten them
down.
