3.3 – To install the X-Pol RT on a pole
For each X-Pol RT:
1. Rotate the X-Pol RT until the polarization arrow on the back of the X-Pol RT radome indicates the
correct polarization, and position the X-Pol RT against the appropriate bracket mounting holes.
The polarization arrow must point sideways for horizontal Tx polarization, and up or down for vertical
Tx polarization.
2. Attach the X-Pol RT to the mounting bracket using the four supplied bolts, lock washers and flat
washers. Tighten each bolt to 8.8 Nm (6 ft-lb) torque.
Figure 8 – Rear-mount X-Pol RT bolts shows the bolt locations for the rear-mount X-Pol RT, and
Figure 9 – Side-mount X-Pol RT bolts shows the bolt locations for the side-mount X-Pol RT.

Always align the X-Pol RT such that a drain hole is at the bottom of the antenna.
Note: The side-mount X-Pol RT requires two flat washers on each bolt that attaches it to
the mounting bracket, in addition to the lock washer. The back-mount X-Pol RT requires
only a single lock washer and a single flat washer on each bolt.
