Completing the installation
The installation should be completed by checking all mounting nuts bolts and screws,
securing all cables and weatherproofing the installation.
CAUTION
Finally tightening the antenna mountings may cause the antenna alignment
to be altered, due to distortion in the mounting bracket caused by action of
tightening. It is recommended that the installation tone be left turned on
(armed) during this process so that any movement can be noticed and
counteracted by tightening the other side of the bracket.
Antenna cable fixing
Cables should be secured in place using cable ties, cleats or PVC tape. Care should be
taken to ensure that no undue strain is placed on the connectors on both the
Connectorized PTP 600 Series and the Antennas and also to ensure that the cables do
not flap in the wind. Flapping cables are prone to damage and induce unwanted
vibrations in the mast to which the units are attached.
