Qwik Install
STEP 1:
Decide if install will be
VERTICAL polarity or HORIZON-
TAL polarity. We recommend hori-
zontal polarity because there is
usually less interference. Both
units MUST be installed using
same polarity.
STEP 2:
Decide if UPTILT or
DOWNTILT is going to be re-
quired for the particular installa-
tion. Bracket will be attached to
back of antenna to provide uptilt
or downtilt by rotating the
bracket install orientation 180°.
STEP 3:
Choose a mounting location with good line of sight to the re-
mote location. The antenna can be mounted to an existing pole up to 2”
diameter or by using the provided wall mount bracket. If only short dis-
tances are needed, the antennas can be mounted inside the building.
Install the antennas.
TECH TIP:
Microwaves travel in straight lines and they lose
strength quickly when going thru buildings and trees. If there are
objects in the microwave path, then useable distance will be reduced. If
the target unit is less than 1 mile away then you won’t have to worry too
much about a couple obstructions but if over 1 mile and there are some
obstructions in the microwave path, then the performance will be re-
duced
.
STEP 4:
Install the CAT5 outdoor cable by
inserting the RJ45 connector thru the
feedthru and into the connector on the back
of the antenna. Screw the feedthru into the an-
tenna connector and tighten against the gasket.
While pushing the cable towards the connector,
tighten down on the feedthru cable clamp.
STEP 5:
Route the CAT5 cable into the building. Always create a drip
loop near the antenna so the cable is not pulling on the antenna and
any water running down the cable isn’t going directly into the unit. Do
this by creating slack in the cable and tie wrapping the cable to the pole
or mount. Always seal any holes in walls or roofs properly to prevent
