Wavenet Link AX Installation and Operations Manual
General Antenna Alignment Procedures
Normally the antenna is aligned by performing azimuth and elevation adjustments and
elevation adjustments as necessary until the peak signal is obtained. It may be helpful to re-
peak one adjustment before finalizing or locking down the other.
Warning:
Damage to the antenna can occur if azimuth or elevation adjustments are
attempted without loosening the proper connections as described in the following steps.
Azimuth Adjustment
1. Be sure the mast pipe U-bolts are just loose enough to allow mount rotation while
maintaining complete contact between the mount and the mast pipe.
2. Turn the long stainless steel azimuth screws against the mounting channel. By alternately
turning one azimuth adjustment screw out and the other in, the antenna can be rotated to
the desired azimuth angle. Approximately 1 turn changes the azimuth direction by 1
°
. Avoid
adjusting the antenna beyond the
±
5
°
provided by the azimuth clamp as this can damage
the adjusting hardware. Fasten the antenna to the mast pipe and reposition the clamp if
needed.
Note:
By securing the mount to the mast pipe and realigning the azimuth clamp with the
antenna boresight, more reliable and precise azimuth adjustments can be achieved.
After all adjustments are made, tighten both of the azimuth screws against the channel and
secure with the lock nuts provided.
3. Tighten the mast pipe U-bolts while maintaining the peak signal by alternating from left to
right in 1/4 turn intervals.
Elevation Adjustment
1. Insure that both of the bolts connecting the mount to the Top Support Angles and the
pivoting Elevation Angle (refer to Figures 4.12 and 4.14) are just loose enough to allow
resisted rotation.
2. Back the outer nuts on the elevation rod away from the bottom mount plate to allow some
fine adjustment range.
3. Turn the inside nut (with flat washer) on the elevation rod to adjust the elevation angle.
Approximately 5 turns changes the elevation by 1
°
. Remember, for elevation greater than
20
°
, install the two beveled washers as shown in Figure 4.14.
4. After all adjustments are made, lock the nut against the bottom mount plate. Tighten the
angle pivot bolt and support bracket bolts.
Important:
Be sure to tighten all hardware after final adjustments and insure that split
lockwashers, palnuts, or jam nuts are used where provided.
