BUC installation

7.5.4 To install the BUC
The mounting method differs depending on the BUC and brackets used. Make sure the
requirements in the previous sections are met.
1. Install the BUC on the feed boom, using suitable brackets for the form factor of the BUC.
If you have the 20 W BUC kit from Cobham SATCOM, brackets and installation guide
are included.
For the rear bracket, the Feed boom has a number of mounting holes for flexible
installation of various BUC types. See Figure 14 (EXPLORER 8100) or Figure 17
(EXPLORER 8120).
Do not tighten the screws for the brackets until the Waveguide is connected.
2. Connect the Waveguide to the front bracket and the BUC. Make sure the gaskets on
both sides of the bracket are in place before mounting the screws for the Waveguide.
CAUTION! Install the front bracket with interface to the Waveguide
according to the specifications in Figure 14 (EXPLORER 8100) or Figure 17
(EXPLORER 8120). This is important in order to accommodate free
movement of the Waveguide below the Feed boom.
