Installing The Idu; Grounding; Cabling Information - Hughes AN8-098P Installation Manual

Refer to the installation reference sheet for any customer-specific
guidelines concerning the mount installation. Use only the mount
installation method described in the reference sheet.
If the installation reference sheet does not specify a method, use
only the mount installation methods documented in the
HughesNet Antenna Site Preparation and Mount Installation
Guide (1025678-0001). Most installations in a commercial,
industrial, or institutional environment use a non-penetrating roof
mount.

Installing the IDU

See the installation guide for the specific IDU you are installing.

Grounding

The entire antenna assembly must be grounded. For grounding
information, refer to your training, best grounding practices, the
Hughes Field Service Bulletin (FSB) HNS Broadband
Requirements for RG-6 and RG-11 IFL Cable Connectors,
Ground Blocks and Ground Block Location (FSB 050518_01),
and applicable parts of the National Electrical Code (NEC).

Cabling Information

For a list of approved cable types for the IFL between the antenna
and the IDU, see the Hughes FSB, IFL Cable, Approved List
(with lengths) for SPACEWAY Domestic Installations (FSB
080202_01). The FSB lists the maximum cable length for each
approved cable type for all relevant radios types.
Because it is impossible to predict the requirements specific to
each installation site, you must use your own judgement and best
practices to determine how to route the IFL transmit and receive
cables.
