Fine-Tuning the Link
The Azimuth (AZ) and Elevation (EL) Adjustment Bolts of the Alignment Bracket adjust the azimuth and elevation within a range of
±10°. For accurate alignment, make adjustments on one end of the link while the other installer reports the received signal level at
the other end of the link.
Note: Do NOT make simultaneous adjustments on the Master and Slave.
Starting with the Slave, sweep
the AZ Adjustment Bolt and
then sweep the EL Adjustment
Bolt until the other installer
sees the strongest received
signal level displayed on the
LED Display of the Master.

On the Master, sweep the AZ
Adjustment Bolt and then
sweep the EL Adjustment Bolt
until the other installer sees the
strongest received signal level
displayed on the LED Display of
the Slave.

Alternate adjustments between the airFiber radios, until you achieve a symmetric link, with the received signal levels within 1 dB of
each other. This ensures the best possible data rate between the airFiber radios.
Lock the alignment on both airFiber radios by tightening all eight Lock Bolts on the Alignment Bracket. Observe the LED Display on
each airFiber AF24 to ensure that the value remains constant. If the LED value changes during the locking process, loosen the Lock
Bolts, finalize the alignment of each airFiber AF24 again, and retighten the Lock Bolts.
