APPENDIX B
B.3 Welding the Antenna Unit
The antenna unit may be welded to the antenna mast if the satellite status
display shows "OK."
1. Unfasten the coaxial cables and dismount the antenna unit.
2. Weld the pedestal and support plate to the antenna mast. Remove the
clamps used to temporarily fasten the pedestal and support plate.
3. Fasten the coaxial cables and fix the antenna unit.
4. Wrap the antenna connector with self-vulcanizing tape and then vinyl tape for
waterproofing as shown in the illustration below. Tie tape ends with cable ties
to prevent unraveling.
5. Coat the three screws fixing the Antenna Cover S with Three Bond 1211
(supplied).
6. Look at the heading indication on the display. If the heading error is between
5° and 10°, loosen the nut at the center of the antenna unit and adjust
antenna orientation, while watching the heading indication on the display.
