8.1
Aligning the antenna for wall and mast installation
8.1.1
Elevation setting
1. Loosen the two screws on the support using the enclosed hexagon wrench
(see picture on right) and support the antenna manually on the lower side.
2. Tip or lean the antenna to the front or back in gradual steps until you obtain
an optimal signal.
3. Hand-tighten the two screws again by gripping the wrench at the
short end.
4. Then grip the wrench at the long end and tighten the screws by
approx. 1/4 to 1/2 turns.
The screw-tightening torque now corresponds to approx. 6 to 7 Nm.
8.1.2
Azimuth setting
1. Loosen the two screws on the support using the enclosed hexagon
wrench (see picture on right).
2. Turn the antenna to the left or right slowly and at brief intervals until
you obtain an optimal signal.
3. Hand-tighten the four screws again by gripping the wrench at the
short end.
4. Grip the wrench at the long end and tighten the screws by
approx. 1/4 to 1/2 turns.
The screw-tightening torque now corresponds to approx. 6 to 7 Nm.
8.2
Aligning the antenna for ground installation
8.2.1
Elevation setting
1. Loosen the two screws on the support using the enclosed hexagon wrench
(see picture on right) and support the antenna manually.
2. Tip or lean the antenna to the front or back in gradual steps until you obtain
an optimal signal.
3. Hand-tighten the two screws again by gripping the wrench at the
short end.
4. Then grip the wrench at the long end and tighten the screws by
approx. 1/4 to 1/2 turns.
The screw-tightening torque now corresponds to approx. 6 to 7 Nm.
8.2.2
Azimuth setting
1. Loosen the four screws on the support using the enclosed hexagon
wrench (see picture on right).
2. Turn the antenna to the left or right slowly and at brief intervals until
you obtain an optimal signal.
3. Hand-tighten the four screws again by gripping the wrench at the
short end.
4. Grip the wrench at the long end and tighten the screws by approx.
1/4 to 1/2 turns.
The screw-tightening torque now corresponds to approx. 6 to 7 Nm.
For a polarisation setting deviating from 0°, the elevation angle is adjusted marginally by optimising the azimuth
setting. This can be balanced by repeatedly readjusting the elevation angle, as described under 8.2.1.
