G.3 Assembly and installation of the antenna
Different mounting structures for antennas are shown below. From the left-hand side, we have an L-
shaped wall-mount, a three-leg mount and a standard straight mount. The tube diameter is 76 mm. For a
correct mounting the surface must be vertical or horizontal, respectively.
Non-penetrating roof-mounting structures (requiring no screws or bolts) may also be used if the customer
do not want to penetrate the roof. The foot can be rectangular, “H-shaped” or have another suitable form.
It must be loaded with at least 75 kg depending on the antenna size and maximum wind force.
The tools include a screwdriver, spanners of correct size (or an adjustable spanner), and a spirit level (if
necessary). Cable straps are used to fasten the cables. A compass, a satellite finder, and a spectrum
analyser (optional) are used to position and adjust the antenna. It is an advantage to be able to measure
BER on the received signal when adjusting the antenna.
