Sea Tel Tracker 6000 Installation
3.3.5. Assembling the Bottom Layer of the Radome
Start assembling the bottom layer panels (serial numbers ending with 501-512) of the
radome by bolting them to each other on a flat smooth surface (ie the concrete pad). They
are numbered to assure that they are assembled in the correct order.
1. Set panels 501 & 502 beside each other and loosely install the vertical flange mounting
bolts and washers.
2. While holding those panels, set panel 503 in its correct order position and loosely
install the vertical flange mounting bolts and washers.
3. While holding those panels, set panel 504 in its correct order position and loosely
install the vertical flange mounting bolts and washers.
4. While holding those panels, set panel 505 in its correct order position and loosely
install the vertical flange mounting bolts and washers.
5. Assure that the bottom flange of the panels are sitting down level on
the concrete. Apply caulking to mating flange of panels 501 & 502.
Apply Loctite to the exposed threads of the bolts and tighten to
torque spec from the bottom of the vertical flange to the top. Wipe
off the excess caulking from inside and outside of these panels.
Repeat with flange 502-503, 503-504 & 504-505.
6. Move/rotate this sub-assembly to assure that the door is oriented
South, or other desired location. Then align the bottom holes in
these radome panels with the anchors/studs in the concrete pad and loosely start
several bolts with washers per panel into the anchors/studs in the concrete. Maintain
positive control of these panels [HINT; an empty crate could be positioned against the
center of these panels to hold them as you continue installing panels].
