30’ Wireless Mast – Self Install Overview of Install Clear a 60’ radius circle in your yard in an area where the radio will have clear view of Tower when 30’ mast is assembled. The distance from the radio atop the mast to the router or computer should be no more than 200’. Dig a 6” hole in the center of the area for base of mast. Locate three ground anchor locations 30 ‘ from hole equal distance apart as shown in the diagram. Insert Ground Anchors. Attach Guy Wire Rings to the top of the top mast and 2nd masts fluted end Lay one end of bottom mast at center of hole with sac of concrete to act as anchor when lift up the mast. Connect 2nd and top mast to bottom mast. Lay the 3 connected sections equal distance between two of the ground anchor locations Equal Distance 3 10’ Mast Sections

30’ Wireless Mast – Self Install Step 1 – Dig hole for mast. Dig 6” deep hole with pick or shovel and place bottom of 30’ masts connected together with the 50 lb sack of concrete at the opposite side of the hole. This will act as an anchor holding the base of the mast down when you lift the mast up to a vertical position.

30’ Wireless Mast – Self Install Step 2: Install Ground Anchors Measure 30’ in 3 triangular directions as shown in layout above. Insert Ground Anchors into ground at angle away from center of layout.

30’ Wireless Mast – Self Install Insert Ground Anchors into ground by screwing them in. If the ground is hard you may need to use a heavy screwdriver or pipe wrench. Don’t turn to hard as triangle top may break.

30’ Wireless Mast – Self Install Step 3 – Assemble Guy Wire Rings & Mast Mount Guy Wire Rings at top (30’) and at 20’. 2nd ring is optional for stability of the mast. 2nd ring does not require the clamp. Connect all three sections together with one ring at the top and optional ring at 20’. Lay the base of the mast at the hole which was dug in step 1 and position the top of the mast equal distance between two of the ground anchors.

30’ Wireless Mast – Self Install Step 4: Install Guy Wire Cut exactly 42’6” of wire for each of the 3 legs of the mast. This wire is very difficult to manage as it wants to wind itself up. For a bit more money you can perform this step using 1/8” wire rope which is 4 times more expensive, but easier to handle. Use a vise or heavy pliers to open one end of the turn buckle to attach it to the ring on the ground anchor. Make sure the turnbuckle is fully extended. Don’t wrap more than 6” of wire around the Clamp set ring attached to the turnbuckle. Tighten wire clamps as shown in the lower picture at right. Attach one turnbuckle and wire to each ground anchor on either side of the mast. Let the 3rd turnbuckle lie along side the mast. The 3rd turnbuckle will be connected after the mast is stood up.

30’ Wireless Mast – Self Install Step 5: Attach Wires to Ring Attach the opposite ends of the guy wire from each ground anchor to the Guy Wire Ring at the top of the mast. Two wires connect to their respective ground anchor will lay to each side of the mast and the 3rd wire will run along side the mast from the top all the way to the base. Assembled Mast

30’ Wireless Mast – Self Install Step 6: Insert Ethernet Insert one end of the ethernet into the “Main” port of the Ubiquiti Radio. Tie-wrap the ethernet cable every 5-7 feet down the mast to base as shown.

30’ Wireless Mast – Self Install Step 7 – Mount the Radio Attach the mounting kit to the radio as shown in the picture to the right and then attach the mount to the top of the mast above the guy wire ring. Note the angle of adjustment that was given to you at the time of the order and set the mountain guide in accordance with the appropriate angle. If not sure then do your best to aim the radio directly at the tower. It is important that the radio be aimed properly in order to get the best quality of signal. Make sure all screws are tightened before the next step.

30’ Wireless Mast – Self Install Step 8: Raise the Mast Standing at the top of the mast, pick up the mast above your head and walk towards the base with your hands extended above your head. As you approach the base, the bottom of the mast will lever up against the sack of concrete which will keep the base of the mast at ground level. Once you have stood the mast up vertically, two of the guy wires will be taut. The third guy wire will be dangling near you. Grap the third guy wire and pull it taut between the ground and the top of the mast and walk slowly in the direction of the third ground anchor. Hold the wire tight as you go. When you reach the third ground anchor attach the turnbuckle to the ring of the ground anchor. At this point you can adjust the tightness of the guy wires by turning the turn buckles. The mast may not be perfectly straight which may require you attach guy wires to the 2nd ring installed in Step 3. If necessary reverse the procedure in this step to let the mast down to the ground, then attach the additional wire from the 2nd ring to the two ground anchors as done before and repeat the step to raise the mast again with the two loose guy wires for the 3rd ground anchor. Once in place the mast can be turned to point the radio towards the remote tower.

30’ Wireless Mast – Self Install Step 9 – Connect to POE Connect the cable from the Radio to the Ubiquiti Power over Ethernet (POE) adapter as shown in the diagrams here. To Power Outlet Ethernet Cable to Computer or Router Ethernet Cable From Radio Ethernet Cable to Computer or Router

30’ Wireless Mast – Self Install Step 10: Connect to Computer When you plugged in the POE adapter in Step 9, the radio turned on and should have connected to the remote tower if it is aimed properly and you should be able to surf the internet immediately. If you have any problems with it not connecting or not aiming properly, please call our support at 530-410-6352 Congratulations! You have now completed the Self Install
