3.6.2 Installing the MDS 5800 II ODU
The MDS 5800 II ODU is intended for mounting on either a pole or antenna mast.
Each site must be assessed for the mounting method, location, and height. After defining the
mounting location and height for the MDS 5800 II ODU, re-confirm the line of sight.
3.6.2.1 Installing the Mounting Poles
First install the mounting poles, on which you will mount the MDS 5800 II ODU. It is important to
note the direction in which the ODU will point when installing the mounting pole.
The mounting pole must be mounted in a vertical position. Failure to do so may result in
improper alignment of the ODU. Vertical tilt of the ODU is accomplished from the tilt mounting
bracket.
The mounting pole must be grounded.
Now that you have installed the mounting pole, you are ready to install the MDS 5800 II ODU
onto the mounting poles. Reference Figure 3-7 through Figure 3-10.
