This manual describes the assembly and installation of Prodelin's 1.2 meter antenna system. The Prodelin 1.2 meter is a rugged and reliable mount which will operate in the Ku-Band frequency with high efficiency and at the same time successfully withstand the effects of the environment.
The required interface from the foundation to the mount is 2-1/2" schedule 40 pipe (2.88" or 7.3 cm O.D.). A suggested in-ground foundation is shown in Figure 1. Also available from Prodelin, as options, are a kingpost pedestal mount and a non penetrating mast mount.
