Installation
Terrasat waveguides are single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switches; that is, switches
with one input and two outputs. The switch transfers the path from one output to the
other output when the switch is actuated, as shown in
Figure 3.2 .

Applying the Anti-Seize Lubricant
Terrasat recommends applying anti
-seize lubricant to
screws and bolts that could be
exposed to weathering or corrosive environments. The lubricant prevents galling,
seizing, and corrosion during assembly and facilitates future disassembly. A 5 g
packet of Permatex Anti-Seize Lubricant is included with the installation kit for this
purpose.
To apply the anti-seize lubricant,
1. Wear appropriate personal protection equipment to avoid contact with skin and
eyes. This includes safety glasses, neoprene or nitrile gloves, and clothing
sufficient to limit skin exposure.
2. Ensure that mating surfaces (screw holes) are clean; dry; and free of dirt, debris, or
loose surface rust.
3. Use a brush or lint-free cloth to apply a thin coat of Anti-Seize to the screws and
bolts that require protection, as shown in Figure 3.3 . The Anti-Seize should be
applied right down to the base of the threads.
