NOTE:
The procedures in this section are performed after the ADE is mounted securely.
Before entering the Radome for maintenance purposes, shut off the main
power to the system from the ship’s electrical panel. Upon entry, switch
off the ADE power box.
Take extra care when handling the ADE power box, Slip-Ring, and power
supply units and their respective cables – which may be carrying 115/230
VAC.
Take extra care when handling the servo drivers – which are connected
to 48 VDC.
The system conducts potentially harmful voltages when connected to the
designated power sources. Never remove equipment covers except for
maintenance or internal adjustments.
Keep clear of the moving antenna at all times. The antenna pedestal is
equipped with high-torque motors that generate considerable force.
