AR60X Installation Manual  
Safety  
CAUTION, WARNING, and DANGER statements have been strategically placed in the text to  
alert personnel of possible hazards. These statements must be closely observed.  
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation and  
service of the products covered in this manual. Failure to comply with these precautions or with  
specific warnings elsewhere in this manual willfully violates standards of design, manufacture,  
and intended use of the product. BridgeWave assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to  
comply with these requirements.  
These BridgeWave radios meet all applicable FCC safety requirements for general  
population exposure to radio frequency emissions; however, it is best to avoid prolonged,  
unnecessary exposure to the front of the radio while it is operating.  
The outdoor equipment must be properly grounded to provide some protection against  
voltage surges and built-up static charges. In the event of a short circuit, grounding  
reduces the risk of electrical shock.  
For installations in the U.S.A., refer to Articles 810830 of the National Electrical Code,  
ANSI/NFPA No. 70, for information with respect to proper grounding and applicable  
lightning protection for DC cables. The installer must also follow any additional local  
building and electrical code regulations.  
For installations in all other countries, implement protection in accordance with the  
safety standards and regulatory requirements of the country where the equipment is to be  
installed.  
Do not install or operate this equipment in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.  
Operation of any electrical instrument in such an environment constitutes a definite  
safety hazard.  
Do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modification to the  
equipment. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by BridgeWave can void  
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

2 Site Planning  
2.1 General  
Before the start of an installation a survey should be conducted of the proposed area of the site(s). The  
survey personnel should be fully familiar with the details required to install the BridgeWave radio  
system.  
2.2 Equipment Checklist  
The survey team will need at least the following equipment:  
Binoculars  
GPS Navigation Device  
Tape Measure  
Site Survey Report Form  
Level  
2.3 Line of Sight (LOS)  
BridgeWave Wireless links require line-of-sight for proper operation. Fortunately, the links are  
relatively short and obstructions in the path can easily be identified. Binoculars can ease viewing in  
poor light conditions.  
The planning should include an investigation into future building plans that could block the LOS path,  
and other long-term incremental obstructions such as trees. Intermittent obstructions such as aircraft at  
a nearby airport should also be considered.  
The following table details the minimum clearance needed from obstacles near the path in order to  
ensure the radios will operate properly.

2.4 Link Distance  
Measurement of the link distance is important in estimating the link availability and calculating  
expected Receive Signal Level (RSL). This measurement can be performed using the Latitude and  
Longitude readings from a Global Positioning System (GPS) device, which is placed near the  
proposed locations of the antennas, or using a range finder device.  
The Minimum Link Distances are as follows:  
AR/GE/FE 60: 65 feet (20 meters)  
AR60X: 330 feet (100 meters)  
To estimate maximum distances and availabilities for a given product and region, BridgeWave’s Path  
Availability Calculator can be used. To obtain the latest version of BridgeWave’s Path Availability  
Calculator, contact BridgeWave’s Customer Service or search the eService center knowledgebase  
2.5 Antenna Location  
The optimum location for the antennas must be determined. The ideal location should provide for ease  
of erecting and mounting the antenna, as well as unimpeded Line-Of-Sight (LOS) to the other site.  
The following factors should be taken into account:  
Type of mounting—fixed or roof-safe pole mounting  
Location where the fiber and DC power wiring will enter/exit the building  
Length of cable runs  
Grounding connection points  
Obstructions (LOS)  
Accessibility of mounting location  
Access to building after regular working hours

AR60X Installation Manual  
2.6 Cabling  
The installation site should be inspected to determine the run paths for the fiber cable and power cable  
from the radio equipment to the termination point. Locations for roof penetration should be identified.  
The routing and securing of all cables should conform to all applicable codes and requirements.  
Depending on the likelihood of damage due to foot traffic or equipment movement, cabling conduit  
may be required. The maximum cable run length as specified for the equipment being installed must  
not be exceeded.  
The radio requires an LC type connectors on a pair of simplex multi-mode fibers to properly connect  
to the radio and the users network equipment. Single-mode fiber is not a current option supported by  
the radio. The network equipment end of the fibers should be terminated with connectors that match  
the network equipment fiber interface.

Table 2-5: Fiber Cable Types  
Each radio includes a 100-240 VAC power adaptor suitable for indoor operation that converts the AC  
voltage from the standard electrical outlet in the wall to DC voltage. The radio requires a minimum of  
15.0 VDC (24.0 VDC maximum) via the power cable to the radio to function properly. When  
planning the cable run from the indoor mounted AC power adaptor to the radio unit, it is critical to use  
the cable gauge (AWG) indicated below to ensure adequate voltage at the radio. The electrical cable  
that is used outside the building must be outdoor rated (i.e., weather-protected) providing a single pair  
of wires necessary to power the equipment. The required DC power cable is 12 or14 gauge, 2 wire  
(i.e., 12/2 or 14/2) rated for outdoor use.

Figure 2-3 (left) details a  
standard 14-gauge wire that  
has been fitted with the power  
connectors (provided) for the  
radio’s internal power supply  
necessary to mate with the  
provided power cord. A  
standard crimping/splicing  
tool (not provided) is required  
to terminate the power  
connectors onto the 14-gauge  
cable required for use with  
the unit.  
Figure 2-3: 14-gauge DC power cable with crimp connectors  
In addition to grounding the equipment, BridgeWave strongly recommends, and local building  
codes may require, that the power cable be protected from lightning strikes. If a copper Cat5 Ethernet  
cable is used for Network Management access, it is also necessary to install surge suppressors at each  
end of this cable. A surge suppressor must be placed within the radio enclosure (to protect the radio  
electronics) and at the building exit/entrance (to protect the indoor equipment). BridgeWave  
recommends the Dehn Patch DPA M CAT6 RJ45S 48.  
2.7 Grounding & Lightning  
Proper grounding of the outdoor equipment reduces  
electromagnetic interference, provides lightning protection, and  
protects against electrical discharge.  
Using improper techniques in lightning prone geographic areas  
may pose a danger to local personnel.  
The source and connection points for the building-to-earth ground  
in the vicinity of the antenna location should be determined.  
It is recommended to integrate the radio ground into the building ground utilizing the pole mount  
hardware. For wall or ungrounded pole mounts connect a grounding wire to the grounding point on  
the radio. Select the size of the ground wire based on the National Electrical Code.  
In addition to grounding the equipment, BridgeWave strongly recommends, and local building  
codes may require, that the DC electrical cable be protected from lightning strikes with a surge

AR60X Installation Manual  
suppressor. The surge suppressor must be installed at the point where the DC electrical cable  
exits/enters the building, however, the use of a surge suppressor at the radio unit is optional since  
power cable surge suppression is built into the unit.  
If a copper Cat5 Ethernet cable is permanently installed, it is necessary to install surge suppressors at  
both ends of this cable. A surge suppressor must be placed within the radio enclosure (to protect the  
radio electronics) and at the building exit/entrance (to protect the indoor equipment).  
For more information on recommended accessory devices and  
kits, contact BridgeWave Sales  
2.8 Environmental  
The structure to which the equipment will be mounted must be adequate to bear all wind and weather  
conditions. The wind load at high wind velocities can exceed 100 ft/lb of torque, BridgeWave highly  
recommends pole diameters of 3” or more. The environmental conditions at the location must  
conform to the operating environment specified for the equipment.

3.1 General  
It is recommended that installation personnel read this section in its entirety prior to installing the  
BridgeWave System. During a particular phase of installation, the user may refer directly to the  
applicable subsection.  
The Installation section is comprised of seven subsections covering the procedures and guidelines for  
installing the BridgeWave Radio System.  
Subsections 3 through 3.4 contain information necessary to prepare for the equipment  
installation.  
Subsections 3.5 through 3.8 covers equipment installation procedures.  
Subsections 3.9 and 3.10 contains information necessary for aligning the antennas.  
3.2 Equipment Unpacking  
The radio system equipment will arrive in two boxes—one box for the low band radio and one box for  
the high band radio. Locate the correct box (low band or high band) before beginning installation by  
checking the label on the outside of the box or on the radio itself. It is recommended that the shipping  
cartons and packing materials be retained in the event that it is necessary to return any equipment.  
Unpacked radios can be identified by the color of their labels  
found on their front faces or inside the unit after removing the  
plastic back weather cover. The blue color label indicates a high  
band radio and the red color label indicates a low band radio. See

When the radios come from the factory, they are mounted on the back of the antenna in the  
vertical polarization position, that is, the diamond marking (see figure 3-8 below) on the front of  
the radio housing is to the right when viewed from the front of the radio. For horizontal  
polarization, the radio needs to be removed from the antenna and rotated so the diamond is at the  
top when viewed from the front.

Figure 3-8: Polarization diamond orientations: vertical (left) and horizontal (right)  
The blue color label indicates a high band radio and the red color  
label indicates a low band radio  
It is critically important during installation to ensure the  
radios on each side of the link are in the same polarization  
(horizontal-horizontal or vertical-vertical). A link that has a  
radio on one side of the link set in the horizontal polarization  
and the other side of the link set in the vertical polarization  
will not operate properly.  
It is also critically important that a high-band radio is paired with  
a low-band radio to ensure the system will operate properly. Prior  
to installation check each radio to verify one is a high-band and  
the other is a low-band version. The label on the radio will  
indicate the band (blue for high or red for low).  
6. Verify that the four (4) captive 3/8-16 bolts with lock and flat washer are in place. A ½ inch  
open-end wrench is required to tighten them. It is important that all four screws are tightened  
evenly (hand tight, 1 to 2 turns each and finally until the lock washer is flattened)

It is very important that the azimuth bolts are tightened before any  
elevation adjustment is done. The very narrow beamwidth of this  
antenna (0.6º) makes it necessary to completely tighten the bolts of  
the azimuth adjustment while adjusting the elevation and vice  
versa.

Begin the alignment process with the antenna in a level attitude.  
When adjusting elevation, it is better to start in a low attitude and  
raise the antenna to the proper position than to start high and  
work towards a low elevation setting.

3.7 Cable Installation  
Fiber Cabling  
1.  
Install a pair of multi-mode fibers (850nm) from the radio to the network termination equipment  
(switch or router with 1000Base-X port). The cable should be looped around the inside of the  
enclosure to provide strain-relief. Do not connect the fibers to the radio’s fiber ports at this time.  
The connectors on the radio end of the fibers require simplex LC connectors; the connectors on  
the switch/router end should be chosen to correctly mate to the network equipment sockets.  
The simplex LC connectors for the radio need to be inserted  
individually through the slip-fit connectors on the radio, as there  
is not sufficient room for both to fit through at the same time. If  
you have a duplex hood joining the LC connections, it should be  
temporarily removed during this process.  
2.  
Connect fibers at the network equipment.  
It is important not to connect the fibers to the radio until after  
aligning the radio as the radio performs an automatic calibration  
once the fiber is inserted into the radio and this calibration will  
not operate properly if the radio is not properly aligned. If this  
inadvertently occurs while the radio is powered on, unplug the  
fibers and power cycle the radio.  
Power Cabling  
1.  
2.  
3.  
Select indoor location for the AC power adaptor, with easy cable routing to the radio. Normally  
it is convenient, but not required, to place the adaptor near the network termination equipment.  
Ensure the DC wire used is 14-gauge type and no longer than 125 meters; or 12-gauge and no  
longer then 200 meters.  
Connect the provided DC Connectors onto the 14-guage wire using a splicing/crimping tool.  
For the use of 12-gauge wire it may be necessary to trim a few strands from the ends of thicker  
stranded cables to more easily fit the crimp connectors.  
4. Install the DC power cable and attach to the AC adaptor using the supplied crimp connectors.  
Do not connect the power jack to the radio at this time.  
Be sure to first connect the DC power connectors before inserting  
the power plug into the power jack in the radio. Minor electrical  
sparks may be noticed if the sequence above is not followed;  
however, these sparks are normally harmless.

AR60X Installation Manual  
Optional Copper Ethernet Cabling  
Normally, only the fiber cable is used to carry network traffic to the indoor network equipment. In  
special cases, it may be necessary to use a 10/100Base-T copper connection to the indoor equipment  
(or other outdoor network equipment), in which case special care must be taken to protect both the  
radio unit and the indoor equipment from electrical surges. Surge suppressors are not needed for  
temporary connections while installing or troubleshooting a link when lightning is not a risk.  
1. Install a Cat5 type Ethernet cable from the radio to the network termination equipment (switch  
or router with 10/100Base-T port). The cable should be looped around the inside of the  
enclosure to provide strain-relief. Connect the Ethernet cable to the surge suppressor placed  
within the radio housing and then connect a cable from the other end of the surge suppressor  
to the radio’s 10/100Base-T port.  
The RJ45 connector for the radio needs to be inserted separately  
from the fiber and DC cable through the ¾-inch conduit fitting on  
the radio, as there is insufficient room for all to fit through at the  
same time.  
2. Install a second surge suppressor at the building entrance/exit. This may require the use of RJ45  
Female/Female couplers. Connect Ethernet cable to the network equipment used for network  
management.

Figure 3-14: Inside view of fiber, power and Cat 5 cable connected  
The fiber cable is inserted through the fitting before the conduit is  
connected to the fitting. Ensure that the cables do not get pinched  
when the conduit is pushed onto the fitting. Both the cables have  
been looped around the inside of the enclosure to minimize tension  
on the cables when connected to the radio and to maintain proper  
bend-radius of the fiber cable.  
Ground Cabling  
The preferred method for grounding the radio unit is to ground the mast (or wall-mount bracket) to a  
ground source, since this provides the largest grounding surface contact possible. If this is not  
possible, then use the following procedure:  
1.  
Attach the lug of the ground cable (not provided) with the radio to one of the two #8 holes at the  
bottom of the radio using a #8-32 x ½” long bolt, #8 lock washer and #8 flat washers (not  
provided).  
2. Connect other end of the ground cable to a nearby building exterior ground location.

3.8 Ice Shield Canopy Installation  
The Ice Shield assembly is an optional item and can be ordered in  
kit form through a BridgeWave distributor.  
3.8.1 Introduction  
In northern climates, the buildup of ice or snow on antennas can be a problem for millimeter wave  
radio installations. These problems are twofold: the electrical effect of snow and ice built up on the  
antenna’s radome; and the mechanical impact of the additional weight of the snow or ice on the  
antenna and supporting structure.  
The formation of ice or snow on the antennas radome can cause attenuation of the signal to the point  
where the link may become severely degraded or unusable. Uneven ice buildup can cause scattering of  
the signal, which in turn results in standing waves.  
Ice layers are not likely to exist for extended periods, as ice tends to melt. In cold climates when the  
radome is below freezing temperature, ice does not stick to it, thus there is no issue. However in  
mixed rain-snow-ice storms, ice can stick to the radome, causing the link to operate at less than its  
optimal design.  
Once the ice has hardened and freezes, the added weight of the ice on the antenna increases the wind  
load on the tower or mast, which may cause premature failure of the mounting structure. As ice breaks  
apart due to melting, or via its own weight, these large and heavy sheets falling down a tower or mast  
can cause damage to antennas or other objects mounted below.  
BridgeWave provides an ice shield kit, designed to combat the buildup of ice on BridgeWave’s  
wireless bridges. These inexpensive ice shields are easily fitted on the radios during the installation  
process.

3.9 Antenna Alignment  
1. Finish the installation as described in Chapter 3.6 and 3.7  
2. Ensure fiber cables are still disconnected!  
3. Connect DC power to the radio.  
4. Verify that the Power LED is lit. If the Power LED is not lit, use voltmeter to verify correct  
voltage and polarity at radio. To reverse the power polarity, unplug the power jack and swap the  
two conductors.  
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 on other side of the link.  
6. Connect QUAL and RSL test cable to the radio.  
7. Slightly rotate each antenna up/down and left/right to find the maximum RSL voltage reading. To  
ensure that the antennas are not aligned on a side-lobe, they must be rotated at least ten degrees on  
each side of the visually-perceived alignment center to ensure that the true maximum RSL voltage  
is found; note that the width of the center beam is only 0.6 degrees and the first side-lobe beam is  
only 1.5 degrees off from center. Set the antenna in the position that results in the highest RSL  
voltage reading. See Section 3.9 to determine the proper use of the supplied test cable in order to  
read the RSL voltage.  
Verify that the RSL voltage falls within the expected range based  
on the graph in Appendix B.  
8. Ensure all bolts are tightened securely and the RSL voltage remains unchanged during tightening.  
Keep in mind that it is very important that the azimuth bolts are tightened before any adjustment  
on the elevation is done. The very narrow beamwidth of this antenna (0.6º) makes it necessary to  
completely tighten the bolts of the azimuth adjustment while adjusting the elevation and vice  
versa.  
9. Connect the fiber cable to one of the radios at a time. The fibers should already be connected to  
active network equipment. If the unit is not to be connected using fiber cabling, a temporary  
loopback fiber must be used to perform this operation.  
10. Verify the Fiber LED’s on each radio are illuminated solid.  
The fiber integrity indication on the network equipment could  
show up or down independent of the link status. Once the radio  
link is up and network equipment connected on both sides of the  
link the network equipment should indicate fiber integrity.

11. Once the fiber is connected to the radio, the radio will begin an internal link calibration. During  
this time the Link Up LED will blink for approximately 120 seconds for the AR60X.  
12. Wait until the Link Up LED is lit solid on both radios.  
13. Verify the Link Quality voltage is 3.3V (i.e., error free). Repeat steps 10-13 for the second radio.  
When a radio is power cycled, it will execute a limited version of  
the calibration process. After this time, the link should be  
functioning. This limited automatic calibration process is also  
activated if the link is down for more than 5minutes .  
14. Remove the test cable from the radio, replace the rear plastic cover and use a wrench  
to tighten the back cover nut to the point where the back cover stops (i.e., when it hits the metal  
ring on the back metal plate). The installation is now complete.

into normal operation mode, regardless of the results of the  
scan. (Link up or down status has no influence on the scan)  
Disconnecting and reconnecting the fiber cables will not cause a  
recalibration. A recalibration will only happen if the link is  
down for more then 50 seconds.  
Forced Recalibration  
Power cycling the radio and disconnecting then reconnecting  
the fiber to the powered up radio will start the auto calibration  
routine again. If the fiber cables stay disconnected the radio will  
go back into alignment mode.

3.10QUAL and RSL Test Cable  
The alignment procedure is optimized through the use of the provided test cable. This test cable is  
designed for use with a digital voltmeter (not provided) to read the Link Quality and Receive Signal  
Level (RSL) voltage generated by the radio’s receiver.  
1.  
To read the RSL value of the radio, insert GND (ground) and RSL banana plugs into the  
voltmeter. Note the RSL voltage. The voltage may be fluctuating; in this case, note the  
maximum value seen.  
Figure 3-15: Top view of test cable provided to check Link Quality & Receive Signal level  
2.  
To read the Link Quality value of the radio, insert GND (ground) and QUAL banana plugs into  
the voltmeter. Note the Link Quality voltage. After the radios have performed an auto calibration  
the quality voltage should read 3.3V if the link is aligned on the main antenna beam and there  
are no obstructions (i.e., trees, buildings, etc…) in the path, the link distance is within the  
operating parameters of the radio (see Section 2.4 above), and it is not raining heavily. AR  
radios may have less than 3.3V Quality in 1000 Mbps mode and still operate normally; this  
would indicate that the AR link is operating near the distance limit for Gigabit Ethernet  
performance.

4 Radio Link Status Indicators  
During normal operation, the following conditions should exist at the radio:  
The power LED should be lit—solid green;  
The fiber LED should be lit—solid green;  
The Link Up LED should be lit—solid green;  
The Link Quality BER voltage should be 3.3V, although dips in voltage are acceptable  
during periods of precipitation.  
10/100Base-T LEDs (each side next to socket opening); left should be green if connected  
(link up) and right flashing yellow indicates activity  
Figure 4-1: Link Up, Fiber and Power LED’s indicating link is up and operating  
The radios do not require periodic maintenance. However, each end of the link should be periodically  
inspected for visible damage or excessive accumulation of dirt on the antenna’s radome.

5 Connecting Network Equipment  
The user networking equipment that is connected to the radio should be checked to ensure it operates  
properly over a wired connection. Once this has been confirmed this will save troubleshooting steps  
after the radio is installed and connected to the network equipment.  
We recommend the network equipment on both sides of the link be configured as follows:  
1000 Mbps full-duplex  
Port auto-negotiation and flow control enabled  
Port configured to not enter error-disable state due to link up/down transitions  
(since these may occur during periods of very heavy rain)  
It is possible to disable auto-negotiation on the radio’s fiber  
interface by use of the built-in Network Management interface.  
The radio’s 10/100Base-T port is permanently set to auto-  
negotiate.  
5.1 Network Port Statistics  
In the event the network equipment connected to the AR60X offers the capability below, we  
recommend you verify the following on the network equipment:  
Link integrity  
There are no receive errors on the link  
Network traffic is flowing in both directions.  
The radios support all standard Ethernet frame sizes, up to 1632  
bytes for un-tagged or 802.1q VLAN-tagged frames.
