Mounting the Antenna Unit

3.4.1 Prepare the Support Post

1. Prepare the antenna support post for the radome. The radome must be bolted to the
support post plate. Make sure that the mounting holes have been drilled. Please refer
to the appendix for detail drawings.
2. Make sure that the antenna support post is painted appropriately for anti-corrosion.
3. Thread the TX and RX cables from below deck up through the cable access hole on the
deck. (Check the number of RF cables required).
4. The support post should be upright. Check the post angle carefully prior to welding the
post base to the deck. If it is uneven or not level, weld the clips to the plate or place the
foam seal in position on the mounting surface.
5. Refer to Fig 3-5 below. The thickness and size of the support plate can be changed
according to the height of the support post
