SECTION 2.2: UNPACKING AND POSITIONING
To install an GV10/GV7.5 transmitter, perform the following tasks:
1. Lift and slide the transmitter cabinet off the base of its crate. Crated and uncrated cabinet weights
are shown in
Table 2.2.1 .
Table 2.2.1: GV10/GV7.5 Cabinet Weights
2. Using necessary mechanical assistance (forklift, etc.), position the cabinet in its final location. If
the transmitter needs to pass through a doorway that is less than 32.9 in. (83.6 cm) wide, you
must remove the transmitter’s rear filter panel (secured with 1/4 turn fasteners) to reduce the
transimtter depth to 31.7 in. (80.5 cm). You can also remove the front door to reduce the
transmitter depth to 30 in. (76.2 cm).
3. Remove the transmitter’s rear panels to allow access to customer input wiring. This may have
already been done in
Step 2 . See Figure 2.2.1 on page 2.2.3 to see access panels.
4. If you are anchoring your transmitter against seismic activity, obtain four 2-1/4 inch square
washers (Nautel Part # HPS30) from the ancillary kit. Position the transmitter over four pre-drilled
mounting holes and install four anchoring bolts (user-provided), with square washers, in the holes
provided in the bottom of the transmitter cabinet (see
Figure 2.2.2 on page 2.2.4 ). It is possible to
drill through the hole plugs in the the bottom of the transmitter, without removing them.
5. As desired, remove the M8 shipping screws in the back of each RF power module (see Figure 2.2.3
on page 2.2.5 ). Nautel recommends you remove these screws, unless your site experiences seismic
activity.
WARNING! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MOVE THE TRANSMITTER UNLESS
SUFFICIENT MANPOWER OR MECHANICAL ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE TO
MOVE IT INTO POSITION WITHOUT DAMAGING THE CABINET OR CAUSING
INJURY TO PERSONNEL.
