Dish Adapter
16.3
Microwave Dishes come in all shapes and sizes. It would be impossible to make one bracket that
would address every dish on the market. Since each job usually has a similar dish, we recommend
that you fabricate a bar that spans the front face of the dish and then mount the Dish Adapter on one
end. It is important to mount the adapter in such a way that the arrow is pointing in the same
direction as the dish so that the Tool can properly detect its position relative to the dish. The tool can
be mounted forward (as shown), backwards, left or right like the Bracket.
You can then screw or clamp the bar across the dish face. Try to keep the bar as level as possible to
keep your tilt reading as accurate as possible. Please ensure that you are properly tethering the bar
according to climbing safety regulations.
16.4 Edge Adapter
The Edge Adapter can be used if your antenna has an extended radome edge or mounting grooves on
the back plane of the antenna and the Bracket does not span either both edges or grooves. This can
cause the Tool to be skewed in azimuth as seen below. The Edge Adapter corrects the skew.
Simply attach the Edge Adapter to the inside of the channel of the Universal Mounting Bracket and
attach it in place. If you have an earlier version of the bracket that does not have this mounting hole,
you can either put a ¼” hole with a countersink in the center of the web as shown or return it to
MultiWave for this service to be done free of charge.
