CHAPTER 3INSTALLATION
This chapter contains the general requirements for installing the Terrasat outdoor unit
(ODU).
Introduction
The ODU consists of an intelligent block upconverter (IBUC) and a low-noise block
converter (LNB). An power supply (PSUI) can also be part of the configuration.
General Requirements
Unpacking
Check to make sure that the ODU has not been damaged in shipment. If there is any
damage, contact the shipper before proceeding. If you need to declare any equipment
as damaged during transit, save the original shipping cartons to ease inspection
reporting.
Terrasat recommends retaining and re-using all shipping cartons and foam forms if the
equipment will be stored or reshipped. The cartons should be clearly marked to
indicate that they contain fragile electronic equipment.
For protection of personnel and equipment, use care when installing the
antenna and whenever working on or around the system.
Follow standard safety precautions with hand or power tools.
Use care when working with high AC voltages and microwave emissions.
