MAINTENANCE
5.0
Maintenance Overview
After installation, the antenna requires only periodic inspection. It is anticipated that
maintenance, if required, will be minimal and easily handled by a local or in-house
maintenance staff. The materials used in the construction of this Earth Station Antenna
virtually eliminate any maintenance repairs.
5.1
Periodic Inspection
It is suggested that a periodic inspection be performed at least every six months.
NOTE: After any very severe weather conditions, inspection of the antenna should be
performed to determine if foreign objects have caused damage or if survival specifications
have been exceeded.
This inspection should include the following:
1)
Check all bolting locations - all bolts should be tight.
2)
Check all structural members - repair or replace if damaged.
3)
Check the foundation anchor bolts - they must be secure and with no failure signs
in foundation.
4)
Check for corrosion - on the reflector structure and mount.
5.2
Reflector
CPI's reflector does not require any maintenance. The composite construction of the
reflector is virtually impervious to any damages that could be caused by weather or other
atmospheric conditions.
It is only necessary to inspect for any physical damage done by vandalism or very severe
weather conditions.
Should any damage be detected to a portion of the reflector, contact the Customer Service
Department at CPI for recommendations involving reflector repair.
