Installation
This section presents all tasks required to install the Exalt Digital Microwave Radio.
Mechanical Configuration and Mounting
The ExtendAir G2 24GHz radios are environmentally sealed units intended for deployment outdoors.
The device must be deployed within an ambient temperature range as specified, and with non-restrictive
airflow around the chassis.
Provide proper clearance for all cables and connectors attached to the device.
Mounting the System
You must mount this radio directly to the antenna. The antenna must be the proper type for this to be
accomplished (see Antennas
).
Figure 4 Direct-mount configuration
Use the following steps to direct-mount the radio:
1 Mount the antenna with the proper polarization alignment, following the instructions provided
with the antenna.
2 Using non-corrosive silicone grease (typically provided with the antenna), grease the rubber
O-ring on the antenna fitting.
Note: Unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer, the power injector and power supply
must be placed indoors or in an enclosure.
Note: You must mount the ExtendAir G2 24GHz with the handle facing up (Figure 4). The
system utilizes both polarizations of the antenna to achieve the full duplex link and cannot
operate properly if the radios are oriented in any other manner.
