10. Fasten counter nut (3) with a wrench (width across flats 36), max. torque see chapter "Technical data" Note: On the version with rinsing air connection, make sure that the holes in the antenna and in the process fitting coincide. This ensures a suf- ficient air flow (the air is led through the holes to the feed system. A rinsing of the whole parabolic antenna is not intended).

A secure hold of the antenna is only ensured with the untwist guard. The untwist guards inserted on site must hence be used again. Depending on temperature range and antenna material, these are spring rings according to DIN 217 or wedge lock washers according to DIN 25 201. VEGAPULS SR 68 • Modbus and Levelmaster protocol... -
