Page 56 Chapter 3 Installation Flow of Operations Azimuth Alignment Loosen the nuts shown in the following figure and rotate the antenna and mount, pointing it to the location of the opposing antenna. Slowly sweep the antenna in azimuth using the azimuth adjustment nuts. If the desired signal is not found, increase or decrease elevation setting and repeat the azimuth sweep.
Page 57 Chapter 3 Installation Flow of Operations 16. Once you attain the highest audible tone, disconnect the BNC headset adapter. This completes initial alignment of the system. Alignment Verification (checking actual receive level) When pivoting the antenna ±2° in azimuth and elevation during antenna alignment, three distinct lobes are probable: the two side lobes and the center (main) lobe.
Page 58 Chapter 3 Installation Flow of Operations If the received signal level is within ±4 dB of the expected calculated level, tighten all bolted joints and remove the safety assembly. It is important to verify that the antenna is aligned to the center lobe peak.
Page 59 Chapter 3 Installation Installation Verification Safety and Grounding The pole, antenna mount assembly, and feed cables must be grounded in accordance with current national and local electric codes to protect from surges due to nearby lightning strikes. Clamps that provide a solid connection between ground wire and ground source should be used. The antenna installation and initial alignment is now complete.

Chapter 3 Installation ODU Installation for a 6/7/8 GHz System ODU Installation for a 6/7/8 GHz System Installation of the ODU for a 6/7/8 GHz FibeAir system is different due to the use of an external diplexer. The diplexer includes Tx/Rx filters and a common port which connects to the antenna. The 6/7/8 GHz ODU consists of an ODU chassis, transceiver, ODC, power supply, IF/RF circuits, and an external diplexer.
Page 62 Chapter 3 Installation ODU Installation for a 6/7/8 GHz System 6/7/8 GHz FibeAir systems use larger antennas than higher frequency systems (up to 15 ft). Signals are routed from the antenna, via a flexible waveguide, to the diplexer installed on the ODU. From the ODU, the signals are routed to the IDU via coaxial cable.
Page 63 ODU Installation for a 6/7/8 GHz System Figure 3-22 Flexible Waveguide Note that it’s important to know the required waveguide flange type. Ceragon’s default flange is CPR112F. However, depending on the client’s equipment, the diplexer can be provided with a different flange type.
