
 Note:ValuesontheLEDDisplayaredisplayedin
negative(‐)dBm.Forexample,61representsareceived
signallevelof‐61dBm.Lowervaluesindicatestronger

Fine‐TuningtheLink
TheAzimuth(AZ)andElevation(EL)AdjustmentBoltsoftheAlignmentBracketadjusttheazimuthandelevationwithinarangeof±10°.For
accuratealignment,makeadjustmentsononeendofthelinkwhiletheotherinstallerreportsthereceivedsignallevelattheotherendofthe
link.DoNOTmakesimultaneousadjustmentsonthe
MasterandSlave.

 AdjusttheazimuthandelevationoftheSlaveuntiltheotherinstallerseesthestrongestreceivedsignalleveldisplayedontheLED
DisplayoftheMaster.
Master
 AdjusttheazimuthandelevationoftheMasteruntiltheotherinstallerseesthestrongestreceivedsignalleveldisplayedontheLED
DisplayoftheSlave.
Repeatsteps1and2untilyouachieveasymmetriclink,withthereceivedsignallevelswithin1dBofeachother.Thisensuresthebest
possibledataratebetweentheairFiberradios.
LockthealignmentonbothairFiberradiosbytighteningalleightLockBoltsontheAlignmentBracket.
ObservetheLEDDisplayofeachairFiberAF5UtoensurethatthevalueremainsconstantwhiletighteningtheLockBolts.IftheLEDvalue
changesduringthelockingprocess,loosentheLockBolts,finalizethealignmentofeachairFiberAF5Uagain,andretightentheLockBolts.
ForeachairFiberAF5U,attachthePortCoverandturntheCoverLocktotheLockedicon.

Therearethreemethodsfordeterminingthereceivedsignallevel:
