Stowing the Antenna 6012-33 Installation Manual
17-1
17. Stowing the Antenna
This antenna must be properly stowed if the ship will be underway while AC power to the Above Decks Equipment (ADE) is de-
energized. Failure to do so may void your warranty.
CAUTION:
There are three stow restraints that
MUST
be installed on this
antenna pedestal
if the ship will be underway while the Above Decks
Equipment is de-energized .
It is strongly recommended that AC Power to the ADE and BDE be supplied from an adequately rated Un-interruptible Power
Supply (UPS) to protect the antenna against short power outages while underway.
17.1. Installing the Stow Restraints
The order the restraints are installed is not critical.
17.1.1. Installing the AZ Shipping/Stow Restraint
1. The AZ shipping/stow restraint is formed by a
pin bolt that is lowered into a channel in a
stowage block on the upper plate of the
pedestal (as shown).
2. Remove the pin bolt from the “STOW” hole
(this only stows the pin bolt, not the antenna).
3. Rotate the antenna to center the LOCK hole
directly over the stow block channel.

antenna)

4. To restrain azimuth rotation of the antenna,
install the pin bolt in the “
Lock ” hole and
assure that the pin drops into the channel in
the stow block below.
5. Verify that the stow pin is engaged in the
channel of the stow block and that the
antenna does NOT rotate in azimuth.
