mast diameters from 1 ¾" (4.45 cm) to 4 ½" (11.45 cm). This mounting 
bracket can be used for either the 1 foot (305 mm) and 2 foot (600 mm) flat-
panel antennas. 

2.  Complete the assembly of the mounting bracket. Ensure that you utilize all 

washers and split washers supplied. The antenna N-connector should be 
located to the right and just above the mounting bracket to allow ease of access 
when weatherproofing the connectors.

3.  Mount the ODU and the antenna securely to the mounting bracket. Ensure both 

antennas have the same polarization. The arrows located at the rear of the 
antenna indicate the polarization as shown in Figure 6. The vertical arrow 
pointing UP indicates vertical polarization.

4.  Connect the short RF cable between the transceiver and the antenna. The 

connectors must be finger-tight plus 1/8th turn only (N-type:
