Refer to the Radome Assembly drawing for your system and the procedure below. It is best to have
at least
TWO people sub-assembling the radome, one working from the inside and the other outside. Sub-assemble
the sections of the radome on a clean, flat location that is free of rocks and debris (ie concrete) to assure
good horizontal alignment of the panels.
NOTE: Unless otherwise indicated, all nuts and bolts should be assembled with Loctite
2760 or its equivalent.
Only 2 people are required to sub-
assemble the top of the radome.
1. On a flat surface, adjoin two
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 six panels
have been loosely assembled
to form the bottom half of
the radome.
