Changing the mounting method
An antenna bracket is supplied as standard partly assembled, and ready for right-side mounting.
On changing the Jirous antenna bracket for left-side mounting the adjustment bolt (part No. 11) and
swivel bolt (part No. 6) need to be unscrewed, then shift the bracket body (part No.5) to the other side
of clamp plate (part No. 4), (do not turn upside down) and then insert bolt (part No. 6) into the second
hole on the mounting plate holder and through the same hole on the clamp plate and secure in place
with the nuts. The adjustment bolt (item No. 11) and nuts are switched to the other side of the clamp
plate (part No. 4). It is also necessary to switch the hanging bolt (part No. 7) on the antenna mounting
plate to the second hole so that after switching sides with the antenna it is on the top again.
In the case of the antenna when changing the method of mounting from right-side to left-side it is only
necessary to rotate the plastic cover of the antenna. This is not only important from an aesthetic point
of view, so that the RACOM logo is not upside down, but also because there is a discharge channel
on the lower edge of the dish (except for ø380 mm dishes).
Fig. 6.6: Changing the mounting method
When changing the polarization from horizontal to vertical only the FOD unit needs to be turned through
90° around the central antenna pin by unscrewing the four bolts on the dish using a No. 6 Allen key.
Important
The RAy2-17 and RAy2-24 links are equipped with a polarization duplexer and work in both
polarizations simultaneously, see Cross polarization. One side of the link must therefore
be installed in vertical polarization and the other in the horizontal polarization.
