Any accumulated imbedded dirt, corrosion, grease, or oil deposits that require further cleaning may be removed with a bristle or wire brush and a cleaning solvent such as trichlorethylene or equal. After cleaning, allow cleaned parts to dry for 10 to 15 minutes before placing the equipment into operation. The frequency of inspection is contingent upon the user’s individual standards and the operational environment in which the earth station is located. However, a visual inspection of the earth s

The mount can be positioned manually or by using a crane; however, Andrew recommends that this procedure be performed using a crane to ensure speed and ease of installation. Figure 3-2: Crate Unpacking As stated previously, the pedestal ground mount installation process can be conducted manually or by using a crane. The following steps provide the necessary procedures for installing the ground mount assembly using a crane. 16 Installation Procedures Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Carefully remove t

Be certain both feed rotation limit switch arms are not distorted and ride centrally on the actuating cam to open their corresponding limit switch. • Inspect the azimuth and elevation jackscrew boots for security of attachment at both ends, for abrasion, tears, cuts, brittleness and other damage that may expose the jackscrew to the environment (water, dust, etc.). Minor repairs can be made with RTV108 silicone rubber sealant. • Visually inspect the feed window for dirt and the feed, feed support

• Use 7/8 by 2-1/4 in (57 mm) hardware Note: Angles are attached edge out with flat of angle facing inward. 301786 Figure 16 Align panning frame/azimuth pivot assembly by swinging panning frame through its entire arc. Slightly snug panning frame/pivot assembly hardware, and again swing panning frame through its entire arc. Continue this procedure until mounting hardware is ready for tensioning. Note: Do not tighten hardware on 301786/201022 azimuth pivot assemblies at this time. 21 Installation

Andrew installation instructions are written for such installation personnel. Antenna systems should be inspected once a year by qualified personnel to verify proper installation, maintenance, and condition of equipment. Andrew disclaims any liability or responsibility for the results of improper or unsafe installation practices. Do not install near power lines. Power lines, telephone lines, and guy wires look the same. Assume any wire or line can Do not install on a wet or windy day or when

The high-grade magnesium alloy material is lightweight, does not rust, and memorizes the antenna's parabolic curve to maintain its shape over time. The result is the only low cost terrestrial microwave antenna sufficiently durable to survive changing climate conditions. The patented grid reflector design provides field reliability and ease of handling and installation. No secondary coating is required to prevent rust and corrosion. Breakdown packaging saves freight costs, and optional factory a
