10.7.9 Completing the Installation

The installation should be completed by checking all mounting nuts bolts and screws,
securing all cables and weatherproofing the installation.
CAUTION
Finally tightening the antenna mountings may cause the antenna alignment to be
altered, due to distortion in the mounting bracket caused by action of tightening. It is
recommended that the installation tone be left turned on (armed) during this process
so that any movement can be noticed and counteracted by tightening the other side
of the bracket.

Antenna Cable Fixing

Cables should be secured in place using cable ties, cleats or PVC tape. Care should be
taken to ensure that no undue strain is placed on the connectors on both the Connectorized
PTP 300 Series bridge and the Antennas and also to ensure that the cables do not flap in the
wind. Flapping cables are prone to damage and induce unwanted vibrations in the mast to
which the units are attached.
