Torque Requirements
When tightening the captive screws, use 20 Nm torque for radio-antenna, radio-mediation device,
and mediation device-antenna connections. In order to avoid misalignment, screws should be
tightened progressively.
When fastening a waveguide to the radio or mediation device, use the following torque, according
to frequency and screw type:
•
6 GHz: M5/#10-32: 3.5 Nm
•
7/8-15 GHz: M4/#8-32: 2.5 Nm
•
18-42 GHz: M3/#4-40: 1Nm
