Preparing for Installation Tsunami MP.11 Antenna Installation Guide

Installation Process Overview

The installation process can be summarized in the following steps:

1. Verify that the support structure for the antenna and radio has been connected to the grounding system. If this is not

the case, connect it properly.

2. Mount the antenna to the support structure, following the guidelines as described for your antenna’s documentation.

When mounting multiple antennas on a single mast, use the following methods to minimize the influence of cross-talk

interference between the antennas:

– Place your antennas as far apart as possible.

– Alternate the mounting of directional antennas for vertical and horizontal polarization.

3. Connect the antenna cable to the antenna.

4. Route the antenna cable to the surge arrestor that has been installed near the ingress point.

5. Connect the antenna/Ethernet cable to the surge arrestor.

6. Attach the surge arrestor to the N-type female bulkhead connector.

7. Run the Link Test diagnostics of the management tools that come with the radio unit to aim the antenna and verify

optimal placement.

NOTE: You can also use the unit’s Antenna Alignment utilities. See Aligning the Antenna.

8. Once the antenna is correctly positioned, and you have verified the installation works properly, secure all cables and

use weatherproofing tape to seal all outdoor connectors.

NOTE: When you must remove or relocate the antenna, follow the Installation Precautions and Safety Precautions

given in this guide, and follow the steps listed above in exactly the reverse order.
