Adjusting Mechanical Downtilt After Installation
Figure 5: Upper Mounting Bracket Assembly
The RF connectors fitted to the antenna are designed to
fit jumper cables with a corresponding male connector.
After ensuring both mating connectors are dry push the
male connector in and tighten the connector coupling to
the correct torque.
If needed or as required by local procedures a
weatherproofing kit may then be fitted to the connection.
If the RF connectors are tightened beyond the
recommend torque the RF connection to the antenna
may be damaged.

Use a tether to secure the antenna’s hoisting eye to
the mounting structure. The tether can be a rope, wire
rope, chain, or similar material. The tether should be
short enough to prevent the antenna from tilting
beyond its maximum downtilt range. This will prevent
the antenna from tilting away from the mounting
structure when the adjusting bolts are removed, See
Figure 5.
Installed cables or the antenna may be damaged if
they are allowed to strike the mounting structure when
the antenna mechanical downtilt is changed
