Installation
Owing to the small size and integrated design of the Liberator-V1000 Link, correct installation and setup is
relatively simple. When working on a roof, ladder, mast or staging, please take extreme care, observing all
facility and OSHA (or other applicable regulatory agency) required safety precautions.

Wall Mounts & Mast Mounts
4.1.1
Wall Mount
The wall and mounting screws must be able to support a weight of 11 pounds (5 kg), taking into account
associated wind and potential ice loading factors.
4.1.2
Mast Mount
The alignment bracket with V1000 radio terminal attached is shown below.

• Ensure that the mast has a diameter of between 50 mm to 115 mm (2” to 4.5”), or else a collar may be
required to adapt to the mast bracket.
• Fasten the mast bracket onto the mast using the enclosed stainless steel bands
• Fasten the alignment bracket onto front part of the mast bracket using the enclosed stainless steel
screws, nuts and washer (M6 size screws which require a 4.5mm Allen Key tool which is included). To

Terminal Installation – Polarization
It is important to install the terminal on the bracket with the same orientation (antenna polarization) at both
ends of the link. The terminals must be mounted on the brackets in such a way that the polarization arrows
ends of the link. The terminals must be mounted on the brackets in such a way that the polarization arrows
point in the same direction: either both ends pointing vertical, or else both ends pointing horizontal (these
are actually 45 degree slant polarizations). On Single-port versions, the polarization is indicated by an arrow
on the backhousing, as shown below. Note that the “A” terminal has the drop cable entry point on a different

corner of the radio housing compared to the “B” terminal.
