SECTION 3 - MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
1. General
This section contains instructions and considerations for the proper mechanical installation of the
C-5000 Communication Management Controller with FLEXCOMM II and FLEXCOMM I Systems.
The information presented here is necessary for the proper operation and satisfactory
performance of the equipment.
The FLEXCOMM II System consists of the RT-5000 Transceiver, appropriate antennas, and
optional equipment as required.
The FLEXCOMM I System consists of an RT-9600F, or an RT-9600, or an RT-7200, or a
combination of up to 3 of the following transceivers: RT-30, RT-118, RT-138, RT-138F, RT-406F,
RT-450, appropriate antenna(s), and optional equipment as required.
Note: An RT-138 transceiver or an RT-138F transceiver (not both) may be installed in the
same RT-System. An RT-406F transceiver or an RT-450 transceiver (not both) may be
installed in the same RT System.
Refer to FLEXCOMM I Transceiver System Installation Manual, Manual Number 150-
040011, for mechanical installation information on FLEXCOMM transceivers. Refer to
VHF/FM Transceivers RT-7200, RT-9600, AN/ARC-513(V) Installation /Operators
Manual, Manual Number 150-0061-000, for mechanical installation information on the
RT-9600, and RT-7200 transceivers.
For instructions and considerations on the mechanical installation of a configuration that consists
of both FLEXCOMM II and FLEXCOMM I transceivers, refer to applicable information in this
section for the installation of FLEXCOMM II transceivers, and to the documents noted in the
previous paragraph for installation of FLEXCOMM I transceivers.
2. Unpacking and Inspecting Equipment
Physically compare the presence of each item in the shipment with that shown on the packing list.
Exercise care when unpacking each unit. Make a visual inspection of each unit for evidence of
damage incurred during shipment. If a claim for damage is to be made, save the shipping
container to substantiate the claim. When all equipment is unpacked, it is suggested the carton
and packing materials be saved for possible reshipment.
