Step 5: Mounting the terminal bracket onto the pole
1.
Slide the pole collar of the terminal bracket over the end of the pole (figure 6).
2.
Leave the pole collar bolts loose to allow for azimuth adjustment during pointing.
Step 6: Attaching Antenna feed cable to Antenna
Important Notes:
•
The cable assembly supplied (10.0m), forms an integral part of the antenna system and is made to a
specific length in order to meet the system specifications. The cable must not be cut to a shorter length,
nor must cables be added to the cable run.
•
It is essential that only the supplied cable is used. Third party cables may not be used; their use will
invalidate the warranty of the antenna and may cause system malfunction.
•
It is important not to stress the connection to the antenna during installation of the coaxial antenna cable.
•
The minimum bend radius of the cable is 2” (50mm) however it is recommended that 4” (100mm) is not
exceeded.
1. Attach the cable to the mounting pole via a zip strap to take the weight of the cable.
2. Mate the connector to the antenna firmly by hand but do not over tighten.
3. Weatherproof the connection using the self-amalgamating tape provided (figure 7).
4. Route the cable to the BGAN satellite modem terminal avoiding any sharp bends, extremes in
temperature, and compression of the cable.
