0.3 SAFETY NOTICES AND ADVICE
This document contains safety notices in accordance with appropriate standards. In the interests of
conformity International symbols are used.
Any installation, adjustment, maintenance and repair of the equipment must only be carried out by
trained, authorised personnel. At all times, personnel must comply with any safety notices and
instructions.
Specific hazards are indicated by symbol labels on or near the affected parts of the equipment. The
labels conform to international standards, are triangular in shape, and are colored black on a yellow
background. An informative text label may accompany the symbol label.
Hazard labelling is supplemented by safety notices in the appropriate equipment manual. These
notices contain additional information on the nature of the hazard and may also specify precautions.
Warning:
These draw the attention of personnel to hazards which may cause death or injury to the operator or
others or damage to the equipment. Examples of use are cases of high voltage, laser emission, toxic
substances, point of high temperature, etc.

1 MICROWAVE ANTENNA INTRODUCTION
The Hiperion Microwave Antenna is a parabolic antenna that consists of a solid reflector, ODU intake or feed and a tower mount. There are two types of antenna: The Standard Performance (SP) Parabolic Antenna and the High Performance (HP) Parabolic Antenna. The HP antenna has an additional shield and radome attached, which gives higher efficiency with reduced side lobes and a greatly improved Front to Back Ratio. The design incorporates high quality materials and anti-corrosion proofing coatings.

5 0.3 M AND 0.6 M MOUNTING BRACKET The antenna is default to be installed to the left of the mounting pole. If right-hand side installation is required, it is a must to reassemble the mounting bracket.
5.1 DISASSEMBLY OF 0.3 M AND 0.6 M MOUNTING BRACKET Mounting bracket is assembled as shown in Figure 3 when leaving factory. Loosen the four M10 x 110 mm bolts and remove the two clamps for mounting bracket installation, see Figure 4.
Figure 3: Mounting bracket Figure 4: Disassembly of mounting bracket-1
Loosen the two M10 x 110 mm bolts (1 and 3), and the M10 x 30 mm bolt (2), remove the M10 x 110 mm bolt (1), and a nut, a spring washer and a flat washer on M10 x 110 mm bolt (3). Then remove the C-Clamp (part 4). See Figure 4. The removed M10 x 110 mm bolt, nut, spring washer and flat washer will be used in Section 5.2.

7.4 0.9 M SHROUD ASSEMBLY
Position the pre-assembled shroud on the reflector (refer to sketches at chapter 6, to define the reflector orientation due to the antenna offset installation you have chosen). The free hole the shroud junction must be in front of the reflector‟s bottom hole (shroud‟s drain hole must have directed to the antenna bottom).
7.5 0.9 M ANTENNA FEED ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
NOTE: Before feed assembly installation, put two pieces of wood strips, which are
available in the package under the reflector assembly, on the purpose of keeping
the spider away from the ground, see Figure 4.

Before tightening the M3 x 10 mm bolt, do a check with a tape measure and make sure the length from the feed horn to the reflector of each feed support strut is the same (tolerance: ± 3 mm). Adjust the M6 nuts to achieve the feed support strut adjustment. Make sure of the shading area of the curved waveguide is as shown in Figure 24 to make polarization adjustment easier.

10 ANTENNA ALIGNMENT – ALL MODELS
10.1 ANTENNA PRE-ALIGNMENT Path profile analysis will provide each installation site with the required elevation information, for initial installation it is sufficient for the antenna to be pointed in the general direction as fine tuning will take place during alignment For site installation, obtain the site installation information of each site, locate and verify the required azimuth and elevation is achieved before commencing to make any alignment to any antenna. For azimuth and elevation alignment, arrange each hop to act as Transmitter and Receiver station at any one time, alignment involves of fine tuning, and is an iterative process, to perform and establish one alignment per iteration. The objective is to maximise the receive signal at the Receiver signal for the hop. Before proceeding to antenna pre-alignment, ensure each end of the hop is equipped with known working equipment. Equip the transmitter station:
Fully equipped IDU, ODU and antenna
Set the IDU ATPC function to “disable” and that it is transmitting signal. Equip the receiver station:
ODU installed
Universal meter for RSSI measurement
10.2 ANTENNA PAIR IDENTIFICATION Assuming that correct planning, frequency coordination and site sense has been carried out for a particular installation site, it is unlikely that the receiver will receive unwanted RF signals in the frequency band generated on that site; however interference from other microwave link paths is a real possibility. With the antennas basicly set to the calculated bearings and azimuths, proceed to identify and isolate the wanted RF signal in the presence of unwanted signals. A unique „RSL lookup table‟ is supplied with each Hiperion ODU, to specify the relationship between RSL and RSSI level, however the relationship is approximately every 10 dB of RSL equals an increase of approximately 600 mV RSSI . Ensure the serial number of the ODU matches the correct „RSL lookup table‟ before proceeding.

Figure 67: RSL Vs RSSI After full antenna alignment, the antenna pair is identified when the measured RSL value matches the calculated value within +/- 2 dB. Note that “Blue Sky” conditions must exist to meet the calculated RSL.
10.3 ANTENNA FINE-ALIGNMENT Each ODU has a DC voltage connection for connection to a universal multimeter. This is a RSSI indication, and is monitored by the multimeter. RSSI indication is indicated by a voltage reading, as azimuth and elevation adjustments are made, the voltage level indicate the „closeness‟ of the optimal setting.

The above Figure 68 represents the RSSI level as the antenna is being brought into alignment. Location of the optimal signal strength should be at the maximum of its RSSI profile.

11 FINAL INSPECTION AFTER ANTENNA INSTALLATION
When the installation of the antenna has been completed, make sure that the installation instructions have been followed. It‟s especially important to check that all bolted joints are properly locked. Recommended torque values for all antennas are found in their respective sections. Make sure that the drain holes on top of antenna are blocked by plastic plugs, while that the drain holes on bottom of antenna are open. NOTE: Information in this document may be subject to changes without notice.
