Preparation
Read this entire assembly procedure
before
beginning.
Refer to the System Block diagram, Antenna Schematic, General & and lower level Assembly
drawings, Radome Hole Pattern layout, All Radome Assembly & Installation drawings for your system.
We recommend that you place the crates in the area that you have chosen to assemble each of these
major components. It is recommended that you do not unpack the crates until you are ready to sub-
assemble and install the equipment.
Assure that you have a large, flat, level, open area to sub-assemble the general assembly and the
upper & lower sections of the radome. This area should be clean and free of debris. The site should
also provide protection from wind, rain and other adverse weather.
A hoist, or small crane, is needed to assemble these sub-assemblies to form the final Out Door Unit
(ODU) Assembly.
