3.6.2.1 Installing the Mounting Poles
First install the mounting poles, on which you will mount the CarrierWave ODU. The mounting
pole J bracket is optional equipment. Consult factory for supply and part number. 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. If you need to tilt the ODU to avoid self-interference, you should
use a tilt (optional) bracket. Consult factory for tilt bracket.
The mounting pole must be grounded.
3.6.2.1.1 Installing on an Antenna Mast
1. Position the mounting pole on the antenna mast. The mounting pole J-bracket is optional
equipment. Consult factory for supply and part number.
2. Insert the U-bolts around the mast and through the holes in the mounting pole. Install a
washer and nut to each side of the threaded U-bolt and hand tighten. Repeat this step for the
second U-bolt.
