3 Installation

3.1 General

It is recommended that installation personnel read this section in its entirety prior to

stalling the BridgeWave System. During a particular phase of installation, the user may

refer directly to the applicable subsection.

The Installation section is comprised of seven subsections covering the procedures and

guidelines for installing the BridgeWave Radio System.

Subsections 3 through 3.4 contain information necessary to prepare for the equipment

installation.

Subsection 3.5 through 3.7 covers equipment installation procedures.

Subsection 3.8 contains information necessary for aligning the antenna.

3.2 Equipment Packing & Unpacking

The radio system equipment will arrive in two boxes—one box for the low band radio

and one box for the high band radio. Locate the correct box (low band or high band)

before beginning installation by checking the label on the outside of the box or on the

radio itself. It is recommended that the shipping cartons and packing materials be

retained in the event that it is necessary to return any equipment.

Note: The polarity can be identified on unpacked radios by the first letter of the polarity

V or H (Vertical or Horizontal) on the top of the unit chassis. See Figure 3-8 for further

details.
