Assembly - COBHAM EXPLORER 5075GX 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
130 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.
Important
In the EXPLORER 5075GX auto-deploy terminal, access points have been provided to access
the azimuth and elevation drives. At higher wind speeds, the antenna can be manually
driven to the stow position using the manual drive tool included in the transport cases. See
also To point with the hand crank on page 5-3.

Assembly

The EXPLORER 5075GX antenna ships from the factory with pre-set and calibrated position
feedback, limit sensing, limit switches, and motor speeds. 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 after power-up, the
system will auto-acquire the network within five minutes.

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.
