INSTALLING THE ANTENNA
Planning the Installation
Selection of Antenna Installation Site
The installation of t240CK requires extreme precaution and safety measures given
its size and weight. Failure to follow the correct installation process may lead to
injury to the installer and/or cause damage to the system.
In order to maximize the performance of the system, a thorough review of this
installation guide is strongly recommended, as well as executing the installation
process as it is noted on this manual.
The system should be placed where there would be no blockage that would interfere
the signals. A safe mounting place should be selected for given its heavy weight
and size.
System Cable Installation Guide
Before installing the system cables, you need to take the following points into
consideration.
• All cables need to be well clamped and protected from physical damage
and exposure to heat and humidity.
• Remember to observe the minimum bend radius of the selected cable.
• Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deck-head,
a watertight gland or swan neck tube should be used.
RF
Cables (Customer Supplied)
Due to voltage losses that occur across the length of the RF coax on L-Band,
Intellian recommends the following 75 ohm coax cable types for standard system
installations. For cables that run longer than 100 meters, Intellian recommends
Fiber Optic Cables with Fiber Optic Converters.
