Aiming the Bridge Pair
Step 2: Attach the Dynamic Bracket to the Wireless Bridge
10 Aiming the Bridge Pair
Once both units are installed in their permanent locations, press the Aiming Button on
the outside of either unit to begin aiming. Alternatively, you can start the aiming process
via the Web browser, by clicking Start Aiming on the Status > Wireless page.
1. Press the blue button on the side of either bridge and hold it for 4 seconds.
• The bottom LED turns yellow, indicating that the unit is in Aiming Mode.
• If the unit is in Aiming mode but there is no association between the two bridge
units, all LEDs will cycle yellow until the two ZoneFlex 7731 units have associated.
2. Adjust the azimuth and elevation of the first unit to maximize the Aiming LED indicators
(see “
Aiming Mode” on page 9).
3. After one unit is at its maximum link level, adjust the second unit to increase the link
performance.
4. If the unit's elevation adjustment needs to be reversed, remove the 4 bolts mating the
two mounting bracket pieces together. Remove the 4 mounting screws attaching the
bracket to the ZoneFlex 7731 enclosure, rotate the bracket 180º and reattach the
bracket to the enclosure. Repeat steps 2 through 7. Adjust the ZoneFlex 7731 to your
desired orientation.
NOTE: The cable end of the ZoneFlex 7731 should always be pointing down.
5. Once the ZoneFlex 7731 is in the proper orientation, tighten the thumb screws flush
to the bracket.
6. Using a 10mm ratchet wrench, tighten the two hex bolts to fix the unit's orientation.
The bolt torque value must be 0.6-0.8 Newton meter (Nm).
7. Verify that the ZoneFlex 7731 link performance has not changed.
NOTE: If the unit is mounted in a position that does not allow the user to view the LEDs,
the Web UI can be used for Aiming. On the Status > Wireless page, pressing the “Start
Aiming” link is the same as pressing the blue Aiming button. The Signal Strength is shown
on the Web page. More green bars indicate higher signal strength.
