Preliminary Procedures 

 

To Perform Preliminary Procedures: 

The preliminary procedure described below must be performed before replacing the  

SLIP RING/ROTARY JOINT ASSEMBLY

1.  Perform System Shut-Down of the vessel’s main power AC Voltage terminal outside the 

RADOME

2.  Open the 

RADOME

 hatch. 

3.  Switch off the 

ADE

 

POWER

 

BOX

 at the 

ANTENNA

 

PEDESTAL

 base (located inside the 

RADOME

). 

4.  Manually rotate the 

PEDESTAL

 

AXES

 to gain convenient access to the serviced unit. 

 

 

 

In the following procedures, be very careful when tightening and loosening the 
screws with which the parts are assembled and attached to the system. Some 
of these screws are delicate and can be damaged by excess force. When 
using an Allen key make sure to insert the key all the way into the screw head 
to avoid thread stripping. 

 

WARNING! 

The Utility Outlet is connected directly to the vessel’s AC voltage input 
terminals (125 VAC / 250 VAC). Therefore, there still exists live voltage at the 
Utility Outlet after disconnecting the power supply to the ADE using the Mains 
Power On/Off Switch. 

Only qualified and authorized personnel are allowed to carry out system 
service/maintenance procedures.
