2. Mount the mast bracket to the tower or mast using the supplied U-bolts.
3. Suspend the bridge on
the mast bracket using the bridge bracket support pins.
4. Secure the bridge
brackets to the mast bracket using the supplied nuts, bolts, and washers (hand
tighten).
5. Connect the dual-coax cable to the power injector dua
l-coax ports (F-type connectors) on the
bridge.
Note You should securely tighten the cable connectors (15 to 20 inch-pounds) using a small wrench.
6. Conn
ect the ground wire to the bridge.
7. Alig
n the bridge and tighten the nuts and bolts.
Bridge Brackets
The two bridge brackets mount on the back side of the bridge housing. Each bracket mounts on two
screw posts on opposite ends of the unit. The support pin on the bridge bracket must be facing the side
of the unit. These support pins are used to suspend the bridge in the notches on the mast mounting
bracket until you secure the mounting bolts.
The bridge brackets must be positioned to obtain
the correct antenna polarization that matches the
remote antenna. The bridge housing contains an antenna polarization mark consisting of an arrow on
the side of the housing. When the bridge is positioned so that the arrow is pointing up, the bridge
antenna is vertically polarized. For horizontal polarization, the arrow should be pointing from left to
right. All bridges must use the same antenna polarization for best operation.
Mast Bracket
The mast bracket attaches to a mast or tower support and is used to secure the bridge.The procedure
for attaching the mounting bracket to the support depends on the pipe diameter, as shown in Table 2.

1.5 to 2.5 in.
(30.5 to 63.5 mm)
Attach the pipe inside the mounting bracket, between
the bracket and bridge.
Large mast 2.5 to 4.5 in.
(63.5 to115 mm)
Attach the pipe outside the mounting bracket, away
from the bridge.
