Generic Installation Procedures
Before starting an installation, use a leveler to make sure that the poles are 100% vertical. You need to check both
sides of each pole at 90 degrees separation. This is a critical step in any link but most important when installing
XPIC.
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 tilt, 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
