7. Secure the waveguide to prevent wind-flex using hanger assemblies or similar. If
cable ties are used, do not over-tighten (take care not to compress/distort the wave-
guide).
Waveguide Flange Data: ODUs
The table below lists the antenna port flange type used with the ODU 600 aat 5/8/6
GHz, plus the mating flange and fastening hardware for remote mount installations.
UDR/PDR flanges are rectangular.
On the ODU, the two flange styles are:
l UDR. 6-hole or 8-hole (6/8 bolt holes depending on frequency
range/waveguide type), flush-face flange with threaded, blind holes.
l UBR. 4-hole flush-face flange with threaded, blind holes.
All fastening hardware is metric.
The 5.8/6 GHz GHz coupler has a UAR70 6 hole (IEC) pattern
flange on the ODU ports and UDR on the antenna-faci ng port.
Thi s data is relevant where an unused ODU port on a coupler
must the blanked off with a microwave load, or where a fl ex-
ible waveguide attachment is required in a cascaded i nstal l -
ati on. See Unused and Disconnected C oupler Ports on page 47.

Grounding the ODU
Procedure
1. Locate the green 2m ground wire in the ODU installation Kit. One end is fitted
with a crimp lug, the other is free.
2. Fasten the lugged end of ground wire to the ODU grounding stud. Before tight-
ening, ensure the cable is correctly aligned towards the tower.
3. Locate a position on a tower member for a ground clamp or similar. This must be
as close as practical below the ODU for downward-angled positioning of the ground
wire.
Run the ground wire down from the ODU to its ground point
using the shortest practi cal path. Do not loop or spiral the
gr ound wire.
4. Scrape any paint or oxidation from the tower at the clamping point to ensure
there will be good low-resistance contact.
