ODU Installation
Note Installers are responsible for supplying mounting bolts.
Ground Mast All steel mounting structures attached to the building and the
antenna mast must be connected to the building grounding
system. If no grounding system or ring is available, ground the
antenna mounting structures to the nearest structural beam. The
grounding conductor should be at least a # 2 (AWG) solid tinned
copper wire. Use exothermic welds (Cad Welds) when possible to
connect to the mounting structure and the building grounding
system.
Bracket Mounting 1. Attach the ODU mounting bracket to a mast between 2- and 4-
inches in diameter (1 in Figure 4-1).
2. Remove the nuts and washers (2 in Figure 4-1) from one side of
each of the two mounting clamps (3 in Figure 4-1) and slide the
mounting clamps off the bolts. Set them aside in a safe place.
3. Slip the mounting bracket (4 in Figure 4-1) around the mast.
4. Reattach each of the two mounting clamps with the flat washer,
lock washer, and nut.
5. Tighten with a 1/2-inch socket wrench until secure.
