3. Place the neck of the feed horn into the upper mounting

bracket, and position the square end of the waveguide
transition close to the TRIA. See Figure 30.
Make sure the feed horn packing material is out of the way so
it will not get stuck between the feed horn neck and the upper
mounting bracket.

4. Attach the square end of the waveguide transition to the

TRIA using the provided M4

× 12-mm socket-head cap

screws and M4 lock washers with teeth on the inner edges.
(See Figure 30.)
Insert the screws in the direction indicated by the white
arrows in Figure 30.
Make sure the O-ring remains in the O-ring groove.

5. Use a long-shaft 3-mm ball driver to tighten the M4 cap

screws.

6. Place the feed horn clamp over the neck of the feed horn, as

shown in Figure 31.

7. Insert two ¼-20 × 1-inch hex bolts (with lock washers)—one

on each side of the clamp.
Make sure the packing material is out of the way so it will not
get stuck under the clamp.
