Aligning Antennas
Aligning Single-Polarized Antennas
Use the installation positions and heights of local and remote antennas to determine their
azimuths. Adjust the pitch angles of the antennas to the horizontal position.
Connect a multimeter to the RSSI port on the RTN 380e at the local end and measure the
voltage value V
BNC

Level adjustment screw
Elevation adjustment screw
Secure the remote antenna and loosen/tighten the level adjustment screw to move the
antenna horizontally.
a. If three signal peaks are tracked, adjust the azimuth of the antenna until the received
signal level (RSL) reaches the peak value at position 2.
b. If two signal peaks are tracked, adjust the azimuth of the antenna until the RSL
reaches the middle between positions 4 and 5. Then, adjust the pitch angle of the
antenna using the elevation adjustment screw until the three signal peaks on the line AA'
appear. Finally, adjust the azimuth of the antenna until the RSL reaches the peak value
at position 2.
c. If one signal peak is tracked, adjust the azimuth of the antenna until the RSL reaches
the middle between positions 6 and 7. Then, adjust the pitch angle of the antenna using
the elevation adjustment screw until the three signal peaks on the line AA' appear. Finally,
adjust the azimuth of the antenna until the RSL reaches the peak value at position 2.

Loosen/tighten the elevation adjustment screw to move the local antenna vertically.
Adjust the pitch angle until the RSL reaches the peak within the tracked range.
Repeat Steps 3 to 4 to ensure that three signal peaks are tracked in horizontal and
vertical directions. When the local RSL reaches the maximum peak value, secure the
local antenna.
Adjust the remote antenna to ensure that the RSL at the local end and the RSL at
the remote end reach the peak value.
Tighten all screws on both antennas after the alignment is complete.
Open the USB/RSSI
maintenance compartment.
