Installation 9497B-21 C/Ku-Band TVRO
4-8
Only 2 people are required to sub-
assemble the top of the radome.
1. On a flat surface, adjoin 2
panels and loosely install a
bolt/nut high, mid and low in
the adjoined flange.
2. Continue adjoining additional
panels loosely installing a
bolt/nut high, mid and low on
each flange until all 6 panels
have been loosely assembled
to form the bottom half of
the radome.
3. The person inside now loosely
install the rest of the
hardware in all of the flanges.
Do NOT tighten the bolts at
this time.
NOTE: The person who is working
inside installing hardware, applying
Loctite, tightening hardware and
cleaning the inner flanges will remain
inside until the cap and lifting brackets
are installed.
4. Assure good horizontal
alignment of the panels.
Good alignment of the
bottom edge of the panels is
important for good seal
between the lower and upper
panels.
5. To provide a clean caulked
seam all around the panels:
apply painters masking tape
to the outside perimeter of
each of the panels about ¼ “
from the top, bottom, left and
right edges at each flange
joint. The tape will be
removed just before the
radome caulking has had time
to set.
