1. Methods to use small and large O-rings are shown in the following
table. Two (small and large) O-rings are attached in 18 to 52 GHz band
Andrew/RFS direct mount antenna. 11/13/15 GHz band antenna does
not have a small O-ring (Small O-ring is not used for Andrew/RFS direct
mount antenna). If the small O-ring is used for ODU direct mount
installation, a gap may occur between ODU and antenna for RF
interface. Therefore it may happen transmit or receive level down.

CAUTIONS:
1. For connecting the OMT to the antenna, the circular type waveguide
flange of the antenna is applied to the system. When the V/H flange is
mounted to the antenna, it must be changed to a circular type.
2. When mounting the ODU to the OMT, confirm the polarization for main
master and sub master ODU. The installation of the corresponding
ODUs in the opposite station must have the same polarization in order
to make into line main master and sub master MODEMs.
2. Secure the OMT to the Antenna by tightening M6 Screws (at four locations).

CAUTIONS
1. Tighten all screws with lighter torque at first, then full torque as
specified.
2. If either ODU is demounting (for purposes of replacing, etc.), apply the
attached short plate onto the vacant port of the demounted OMT to
prevent the RF power leaking from the OMT, and to make it waterproof
and dustproof.
4. When installing the sub-master ODU, protect the main-master ODU
from the mechanical knocks in order to prevent the occurrence of bit
errors due to the microphonic properties.

Procedure 11-7
1. Loosen three screws (SCREW1, 2 and 3 in Figure 11-6) and rotate antenna
(connected OMT/ODU) so that the RX LEVEL MON indicates the maximum
value at the ODU of the Main Master and Sub Master channels.
2. At opposite station, power off the ODU of the Sub Master channel (for both No.1
and No.2 Sub Master channels in 1+1 system).
3. In this condition, check the RX LEVEL MON indication value for XPD at the
ODU of the Sub Master channel.
4. Confirm that the XPD is greater than 25 dB. If not, repeat adjusting the Azimuth
Angle, Elevation Angle and XPD.
