Chapter 4: Installing the ADU
22 Mounting
4.5 Mounting
The radome can now be installed on the mounting plate on the ship via 4 M10
stainless steel bolts. In case of F77 the hatch must face the stern of the ship.
If it is necessary to alter the mount position relative to the ship (90, 180 or
270
°
, and to ensure hatch accessibility), the “mounting pos” has to be
adjusted, this can be done via the Display Handset.
See User Manual chapter 4. “Ant. Set-up” for “mounting pos” adjustment.
The only electrical connector is a single N-Type connector on the lower
radome.
4.6 Important notes
Do not re-use any of the M10 screws from the pallet. The bolt thread must not
penetrate more than 20 mm - and not less than 10 mm - into the bosses of the
radome. The bolts must be tightened to 25 ±5 Nm.
After having connected the antenna cable to the ADU - ensure that the
connector assembly is properly protected against seawater and corrosion. As a
minimum, it is recommended that self-amalgamating rubber tape is used.
