Installing the Above Deck Equipment (ADE)

Unpacking
Unpack the antenna unit carefully so as not to damage it. Check the antenna for damage.
Mounting procedure
1. Place the antenna unit on the mounting base.
2. Fix the antenna unit to the mounting base with supplied fixing studs, nuts and washers.
3. Coat exposed nuts, fixing studs and washers with silicon sealant, to prevent electrolytic
corrosion. Also, coat all holes for radome base fixing bolts with silicon sealant.
4. As shown below, run a ground wire (local supply) between any one fixing stud and a
ground stud (local supply) welded to the mast.

Mounting Base
Note: Do not use a rubber gasket on the mounting base. The face of the mounting base
should be flat as possible (tolerance: within 2 mm of the horizontal plane).
If tolerance is more than 2 mm, insert a metal spacer between the antenna bottom
and the mounting base.
Attach electromagnetic wave caution labels
Labels which warn of electromagnetic waves are supplied with the installation materials.
Attach them to the following locations:
• Attach one to the radome mast where it can easily be seen.
• Attach other to a conspicuous location in any stairwell leading to the deck where the
antenna unit is installed.
