Installation of the ADU (S600 antenna)
98-175666-C Chapter 2: Installation 2-21
2.4 Installation of the ADU (S600 antenna)
The ADU is shipped fully assembled. You have to install it on the mast and attach the
ADU cable.
The antenna comes with a lifting harness already fitted. The lifting harness is provided
solely for the purpose of installation of the antenna. The belt of fibre material prevents
the antenna from toppling during the lifting process.
The lifting harness (Cobham SATCOM part number TT 48-149056) is designed, tested
and conforms to the requirements for lifting equipment in DIRECTIVE 2006/42/EC OF
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 17 May 2006 on machinery, and
amending Directive 95/16/EC (recast). The Working Load Limit (WLL) is defined as
40 kg.
WARNING! Use the already mounted lifting harness to lift the ADU
without damaging the radome.
WARNING! The ADU may be subject to swaying motions in windy
conditions. Always use tag lines to stabilise the ADU
during hoisting. It is the crane operatorʼs responsibility to
determine whether the environmental conditions are
suitable for a safe lift.

WARNING! Use the lifting harness only to lift the antenna. Do not lift
other objects or persons with the harness.
