Flexible Waveguide; Ray Unit Mounting - RACOM RAy3 User Manual

Installation
Note
All VHLP 26 GHz antennas labelled for 24.250 - 26.500 GHz band are OK for 24.000 -
24.250 GHz band (confirmed to RACOM by CommScope).
Note
BW1' is a code for 'no flange', which is an optimal choice for VHLP purchase (and typically the
cheapest one). Most CommScope distributors do not resell those, because normally each
shipped antenna has a unique flange for a concrete MW vendor product (defined by a string
of 3 letters+numbers at the end of the ordering code). If any vendor interface is purchased,
then it has to be unmounted before installation of RAy antenna mounting kit.
If there is a requirement to connect different type of antenna (for example some newer antenna
type), it is possible to modify the existing adapter to meet new requirements.

4.2.3.3. Flexible waveguide

Flexible waveguide mounting kit can be ordered as an accessory part
Fig. 4.4: Flexible waveguide assembly
Flexible waveguides themselves are not offered by RACOM - please consult your antenna supplier.
Ensure the pin lubrication is completed during assembly.

4.3. RAy Unit mounting

RAy unit can be attached to several different models of antennas from several vendors. Installation of
RAy unit on to LEAX-RAy or Jirous antennas or to any other antenna with proper RAy mounting kit
(eventually with flexible waveguide) is very simple and it is identical for all antennas and mounting kits.
Installation starts with the lubrication of antenna pivot, followed by fixing the RAy unit in a proper position
to the antenna and finished by unit grounding to the mast – as described in following sections.
