Installation
This section presents all tasks required to install the Exalt Digital Microwave Radio.
Mechanical Configuration and Mounting
The ExtendAir
®
(TDD) Series Direct Mount radios are environmentally sealed units intended for
deployment outdoors. The device must be deployed within an ambient temperature range as specified,
and with non-restrictive airflow around the chassis.
Provide proper clearance for all cables and connectors attached to the device.
Mounting the System
The radio is typically mounted directly to the antenna. The antenna must be the proper type for this to
be accomplished (see Antennas
).
Figure 9 Direct-mount configuration
Use the following steps to direct-mount the radio:
1 Mount the antenna with the proper polarization alignment, following the instructions provided
with the antenna.
2 Using non-corrosive silicone grease (typically provided with the antenna), grease the rubber
O-ring on the antenna fitting.
3 Inspect the waveguide slot on the radio and the antenna.
The waveguide slot aligns in the same orientation.
4 Align the radio to the antenna, slowly press the radio onto the antenna waveguide fitting until
snug.
The power injector and power supply must be placed indoors or in an enclosure.
