2.9 Installing the MultiHaul™
1. Mount the radio and its mounting bracket on a fixed reinforced steel mounting
pole, 1.5-12 diameter (recommended 2-4 inches).
2. Use included self-locking bands to secure the bracket to the mounting pole.
3. In order to allow free movement when pointing the radio, unlock the Elevation
Lock Bolts.
4. Verify visually that the radio is pointing to the remote site. Optimize the
Azimuth alignment by turning the mounting bracket (make sure the self-locking
bands are not tightened) and change the Elevation alignment by moving the
radio up and down.
5. Once optimum achieved, fasten the self-locking bands to secure the bracket to
the mounting pole and tighten the Elevation Lock Bolts.
Figure 2-8 Scanning Antenna
Notes regarding alignment:
The MultiHaul™ antenna sector coverage is 90° horizontally and 20° vertically.
For optimal coverage, point the Base Unit towards the sector center (45°) horizontally
and to the farthest terminal unit vertically.
Terminal Units should be pointed towards the Base Unit.
Alignment is now completed. The system’s scanning antenna will automatically align the
beams for optimal performance.
