Assembly - COBHAM EXPLORER 3075GX Installation And User Manual

Wind speed considerations
The antenna is designed to operate under wind speeds of 48 km/h (30 mph) gusting up to
72 km/h (45 mph) while anchored and survive winds of 100 km/h (62 mph) gusting up to
128 km/h (80 mph) while anchored. Note that the antenna may point away from the
satellite in winds blowing faster than the operational wind speed limit.At higher wind speeds
drive the antenna manually to the stow position.

Assembly

The EXPLORER 3075GX antenna ships from the factory with pre-set and calibrated position
feedback. To be fully operational, you must only deploy the antenna positioner, install the
reflector, and connect the IFL and power cables between the RF assembly and the
electronics enclosure. Then you make a manual pointing to acquire the desired network.
To assemble the EXPLORER 3075GX, do as follows:
1. Unpack the electronics enclosure, place it upon level ground and deploy the two support
legs.

Do not assemble or operate the terminal at wind speeds exceeding the
operational wind speeds. In case the wind speeds exceed the operational
wind speed limit while the antenna is already assembled or operational, bring
the antenna to the stow position. In case the wind speeds exceed the survival
wind speed limit while the antenna is already assembled or operational, bring
the antenna manually back to the stow position, disassembled and packed.
