secure with a tie-wrap below the lower electronics module. Although the power connectors are
interchangeable, the method illustrated in the photograph will produce best results.
It is not necessary to disturb the SMA coaxial connector on the top of each electronics module.
This is the connection to the actual antenna panel.
Replace the transceiver rear weather cap taking care that the gasket is seated smoothly around
the edge of the weather cap and that the three cables pass through the cable access on the
bottom end of the weather cap. Replace the sixteen screws securing the weather cap snugly
but not tightly enough to distort the gasket. See Figure 5-2.

The photos in Figures 5-2 and 5-3 show how this is implemented.
5.1.2 Mounting
Mount the Hub Transceiver on a vertical pipe with at least 44 vertical inches clear of unrelated
hardware or other impediments. The transceiver mounting brackets will accommodate pipe
from 1.5 to 2.25 inches in outside diameter. Up-tilt or down-tilt is accomplished by means of
adjusting the nuts on the 5/16 inch threaded bolts captive to the mounting assembly. See
Figure 5-4 for mounting details.
Ground the transceiver to the metallic mounting structure (tower or monopole) or suitable
rooftop ground point per local codes and installation practices. Normally #6 AWG or larger wire
is utilized for this purpose. A ΒΌ-20 ground bolt is provided on the bottom flange of the Hub
Transceiver to attach the ground wire. This is illustrated in Figure 5-4 as well.
