Concrete base and
cable duct
- Based on the drawings at the end of this manual,
make the concrete plinth in the area of installation of
the radio telescope.
- Prepare an underground duct from the base on which
the radio telescope is going to be installed to the
control room. The duct must contain the coaxial cables
connecting the two LNAs to the receiver and the power
supply and control cable of the mount. The duct must
have a minimum diameter of 15 cm (6 inc). Since the 2
LNA power cables have a large diameter (to avoid
signal leakage), they are rigid so the channel must not
have narrow curves that prevent cable passage.
- Prepare 2 groundings, that has to be dimensioned
based on the legislation of the country of installation.
One grounding will be closed to the pier base and one
grounding will be in the control room (to connect the
surge protectors of the receiver).
