MOUNTING THE RADIO TO THE ANTENNA
5
NOTE. Navigator should be mounted with the Ethernet ports always
facing down.

Attach the Navigator radio, with the radio's Ether-
net connectors facing down, to the antenna using
the four corner clasps of the radio.
CAUTION. We strongly recommend that the technical personnel in-
stalling this radio and ancillaries possess the knowledge and skills ap-
propriate for making such installations.
6
CAUTION. Proper grounding of the outdoor equipment reduces elec-
tromagnetic interference, provides lightning protection, and protects
against electrical discharge. Using improper techniques in lightning-
prone geographic areas may pose a danger to local personnel.
The source and connection points for the building-to-earth ground
near the antenna location should be determined.
CAUTION. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO COMPLETE THE GROUND
CABLING PRIOR TO APPLYING ANY DC VOLTAGE TO THE UNIT.

Required method for grounding the radio is to ground the mast to a
ground source. The source and connection points for the building-to-
earth ground in the vicinity of the antenna should be determined.

Also attach an 8 AWG (solid) copper (or equivalent) ground wire to the
m5x.8 grounding stud on the Radio chassis and securely tighten to (15
+/-2in.lbs.) using an 8 mm (5/16 inch) wrench.

Secure the other end of the ground wire to a known earth ground such
as the main ground bar or terminal ground bar of the site. Refer to
local regulations for proper grounding procedures

CONNECTING GLANDS AND CABLES
7
NOTE. Cable glands are required for external connection of cables to
Navigator.
For the Ethernet cable between Navigator's PoE port and the user's net-
work equipment ensure that the maximum POE cable length between
the ODU and such equipment is 100 m (330 ft.). The maximum POE cable
length between the POE injector and the ODU is 80m (260 ft.).
CAUTION. Any unused port must be sealed with the provided weath-
erproof plugs. Dust plugs delivered pre-installed on the units are not
weatherproof and must be discarded before radio field installation.
