NOTICEThe installation, maintenance, or removal of an antenna requires qualified, experienced personnel. Andrew installation instructions are written for such installation personnel. Antenna systems should be inspected once a year by qualifi ed personnel to verify proper installation, maintenance, and condition of equipment.

Andrew disclaims any liability or responsibility for the results of improper or unsafe installation practices.

Do not install near power lines. Power lines, telephone lines, and guy wires look the same. Assume any wire or line can electrocute you.

Ensure downtilt bracket is fully collapsed.

Draw an imaginary vertical line through the center of the heads of the bolts to ensure antenna is at 0° when fi rst installed.

Antenna pivot hole to pivot hole dimension. Varies by antenna.

Pipe Mount

Pipe Mount

Place edge of inclinometer against edge of mounting rail ensure antenna is at 0°.

Note: See “Hoisting Procedures.”It is normal for the pipe mount to bend slightly to conform to the size of the mounting pipe.

Lock these nuts before attaching to pole
