1.1.7 How to fasten the Antenna Unit to the mounting platform (FAR-
2x58)
1. Construct a suitable mounting platform referring to the outline drawing at the end
of this manual.
Note: The mounting platform must be flat, level and firmly secured.
2. Lay the rubber mats (supplied) on the mounting platform.
3.Place the Antenna Unit on the supplied
rubber mats, then orient the unit so the
nameplate on the scanner box is facing the
ship’s bow.
Note: When the Antenna Unit is placed on
the platform, make sure that the platform is
not inclined.
4.Insert four sets of hex bolts (M12u60) at-
tached the seal washers to the mounting holes of the antenna chassis.
5. Adjust the direction of the Antenna Unit so the nameplate is facing the ship’s bow.
6. Fasten the Antenna Unit to the mounting platform with four sets of hex bolts, nuts,
flat washers and seal washers. The torque must be 49 N•m.
Note: For how to fasten the double nuts, "How to fasten double nuts" on page 1-8.
7. Using a hex bolt (M6u25), nut (M6) and flat washer (M6), establish the ground sys-
