Unpack the PNL-22 antenna

and inventory all parts.

Contact your Solectek

Certified Reseller to resolve

any shortages.

This is the “Standard Mount”

used on the ANT-PNL-

22. The

single arm allows for full

elevation and azimuth

adjustment when mounted on

the mast. The optional

“Universal Mount” used on the

ANT-PNL-22-U is described

starting on Page 7. ODU

mounting and sealing of all

connectors are the same for

both the “Standard Mount” and

“Universal Mount”.

Locate the “V” cut in the

mounting arm. The “V” cut will

grip the mast when the

antenna is installed. Install the

long mast-clamp bolts as

shown. Use one nut to

securely mount the long bolts

to the mounting arm by turning

the nut all the way to the end

of the thread so it securely

holds the bolt in the mounting

arm.

Part #11243a Page 4of 9

Install the mast clamp strap as

shown. The strap makes a

channel with the “V” cut in the

mounting arm. The mast pipe

will pass through this channel.

Do not tighten the nuts.

Install the antenna and pre-

assembled bracket on the mast.

Tighten the two nuts so the

antenna is held securely to the

mast. Do not overtighten to the

point where the mounting strap is

deformed. These nuts will be

loosened later to swing the

antenna on the mast to adjust the

azimuth during antenna

alignment.

This is the “wrist joint” used to

adjust the elevation during

antenna alignment. In the vast

majority of installations, the

antenna will be mounted

vertically with reference to the

horizon. The antenna in this

photo is pointed slightly

downward. The antenna must be

adjusted to a true vertical position

before attempting the initial

antenna alighment.

Part #11243a Page 5of 9

Use a bubble level (carpenter’s

level) to m

ake sure the antenna

is set to the vertical position

before attempting the initial

antenna alignment. It is usually

not necessary or desirable to

change this adjustment for

normal operation.

Once the antenna is checked

with a bubble level and set

vertically, tighten the “wrist bolt”

to lock it in place.

The PNL-

22 antenna is supplied

with a cable to attach the

antenna to the ODU (Outdoor

unit). The cable will fit only one

way, as the connectors are

different on each end. Finger

tighten the connector. Do not

use any tools, as you can easily

damage the connector.

Part #11243a Page 6of 9

Use the sealer strips supplied with

the antenna to seal the connector.

Peel the paper backing from the

strips and stretch the material

while winding it around the

connector. Be sure to cover all

exposed metal. This large (N-

type) connector will probably

require two strips for a proper,

weather tight seal. Use your

fingers to form the sealant against

the connector for a good seal.

Attach the antenna-to-ODU cable

to the ODU (Outdoor Unit). Finger

tighten the connector. No threads

should be visible when the

connector is properly tightened

and seated.

Use the black sealant material to

seal this connection after installi

the antenna and ODU on the mast.

Part #11243a Page 7of 9

Stretch the black sealant

material while wrapping it

around t

he connector. It should

be possible to get a good seal

on this small (TNC-type)

connector with only one sealant

strip. If necessary, use a

second strip to ensure a

weather-tight seal.

This is the optional “Universal

Mount”. This mount uses

threaded rods to adjust the

azimuth and elevation once the

antenna is permanently

mounted on the mast. Pre-

assemble the mount before

attempting to mount it on the

mast. This mount uses the

same mast straps and mounting

bolt as the “Standard Mount’.

Use a bubble level (carpenter’s

level) to make sure the antenna is

set to a vertical position prior to

attempting the initial antenna

alignment. It is usually not

necessary or desirable to change

this adjustment for normal

operation. Note the use of the

wrench on the threaded rod to

change and lock/unlock the

elevation adjustment.

Part #11243a Page 8of 9

After setting the elevation with

the bubble level, lock the hinge

bolt and the lock nuts for a

permanent and secure elevation

setting.

Install the supplied antenna to

ODU cable. The cable cannot

be installed backwards, as the

connectors are different on

each end.

Seal the antenna connector

using the supplied sealan

t strips

(discussed previously in this

document).

Part #11243a Page 9of 9

** END**

Use Ty-Wraps or other

fastening material to hold the

antenna cables securely

against the mast.

All Solectek antennas are set to

vertical polarity at the factory.

To change the polarity, locate

the four small bolts on the back

of the antenna which fasten the

antenna to the mounting

bracket (either Standard or

Universal mount).

Carefully remove the four nuts

and washers which hold the

antenna to the mounting

bracket, remove the antenna

from the bracket, rotate the

antenna 90 degrees, and re-

fasten it to the mounting

bracket.
