Recommended installation tools
13mm open/box end wrench or 13mm deep well socket Torque wrench recommended for final lock down
Note: Pictures shown are for the ANT-200 series antennas and may not be identical to your antenna system. For ANT-100 series, refer to Instructions included with the antenna for proper assembly.
Continued One side of the pole mounting bracket has a slot which can be slid under the washers after the bracket has been swung around the pole.
Slide bracket under both washers and tighten.
Prior to installation, ensure that the radios are paired, that is, one low band ODU with one high band ODU, refer to radio label. Qualified personnel experienced with PTP antenna assembly and installation are required for installation and setup.
Equipment must be properly grounded to reduce the risk of electrical shock prior to E-Link 1000LR operation.
Minimum link distance for co-polarization of 1 ft (0.3m) antennas is 50 meters / 164 ft. Minimum link distance for co-polarization of 2 ft (0.6m) antennas is 200 meters / 656 ft.

Tighten the two brackets equally, so that the bracket gaps are equal above and below each bolt on both sides of pole.
Equal gaps
4 Azimuth lockdown bolts
Unpack and mount antenna
Carefully remove the contents from the box. Use caution. The reflector and radome are manufactured to very close tolerances. Careful handling and assembly is required to avoid denting the reflector or damaging the radome, which would degrade antenna performance. Note: Slots on the brackets allow for the washers and nuts to remain on the bolts while mounting the antenna on the pole. Loosen mounting bolts to allow pole mount bracket to slide over pole or swing brackets open, to allow the brackets to swing around the pole.

Azimuth Azi muth ad ust ustment ment
a. Loosen the 4 Azimuth lockdown bolts. b. Adjust Azimuth via single Azimuth adjust bolt, using a 13mm box end or socket wrench. c. Tighten the 4 Azimuth lock down bolts.

Elevation adjustment
Note: The azimuth lockdown bolts must be tightened before any elevation adjustment is started. The narrow beamwidth of the antennas makes it essential to completely tighten the Azimuth lockdown bolts prior to adjusting Elevation, and vice versa. Single elevation adjust bolt
Connect Input Power
The E-Link 1000LR requires 0.7amp @ -48 VDC input power. There are two options for powering: 1. PoE via the Management cable. 2. Power over Coax via a Type “N” Connector. Use surge protectors for either option. Both inputs can be connected for redundant power input to the radio.
a. Loosen the 3 Elevation lock down bolts.

b. Adjust the Elevation via the single Elevation adjust bolt, using a 13mm box end or socket wrench. c. Tighten the 3 Elevation lock down bolts.

Mount E-Link 1000LR
After mounting antenna to the pole, install the E-Link ODU. First apply a small amount of silicon grease to the rubber “O” ring on the antenna feed. A tube of grease is supplied with the antenna. Applying silicon grease aids in sliding the E-Link ODU on to the antenna and helps seal against moisture. Slide the E-Link ODU oriented for either V (Vertical) polarization or for H (Horizontal) polarization as indicated by the lettering on the cover. Secure the four captive latches/bales and snap into the locked position.
Vertical Polarization
a. Slide RJ45 into the housing until it snaps into place. b. Make sure the black standoffs are holding the RJ45 in place. About 3/8” (9.5mm) of the RJ45 connector should be protruding out of the plastic housing. c. The housing should have a ~1/8” (3mm) gap between the screw cap and base when properly tightened.
Complete cable connections, align link, and tighten hardware
a. Connect all cables to the E-Link radio. Drape cables with a drip loop to keep water from collecting around connectors. b. Align the link. E-Band recommends that personnel be present at both ends of the link, equipped with either two-way radios or cell phones for communications during the alignment process. Once the link is aligned and operational, recheck all hardware and torque to 15 lb-ft (203.3 N-m).
Ground Radio
The radio has a M5 ground lug located on the enclosure. Ensure that this is connected by a 10 AWG wire to earth ground or building ground.

Assemble Management Interface cable The radio comes with an Amphenol RJ45 (RJFRB6) weatherproof housing. When using CAT5e cable use all the included parts as shown in assembly instruction included with the housing. If using CAT6 Ethernet cable, discard the 3 sealing parts included with this housing and use the extra Blue seal provided in the E-Link install kit. Assemble connector as shown above. If necessary the inner section with tab can be removed to fit larger diameter cables.
