1. In case of device with external antenna, to mount and connect an external antenna to the InfiMAN Evolution/InfiLINK Evolution E5-BSE ODU and E5-STE ODU, proceed as follows:

   1. Mount the antenna(s) according to manufacturer’s instructions;
   2. Connect the ODU V and H N-type interfaces to the antenna(s) with RF coaxial cables and with appropriate connectors. Use cables not longer than 3 m (9.8ft). Tighten the N-type connectors to a torque setting of 1.7 Nm (1.3 lb ft);
   3. Form drip loops near the cable ends at the ODU’s side so that water doesn’t creep towards the ODU connectors;
   4. Weatherproof the N-type connectors (when antenna alignment is complete) using PVC tape and self-amalgamating rubber tape;
   5. Weatherproof the antenna connectors in the same way (unless the antenna manufacturer specifies a different method);
   6. Fix the antenna cables to the supporting structure using site approved methods. Ensure that no undue strain is placed on the ODU or antenna connectors. Ensure that the cables do not flap in the wind, as flapping cables are prone to damage and induce unwanted vibrations in the supporting structure.
