Installation of the SpaceCom IP321 Maritime Antenna on a post is done according to
Figure 3. The diameter of the post should preferably be between 35 and 50mm using the
standard U-bolt supplied in the kit. Notice the TORQUES for bolts and nuts.
Remember to connect the N-connector on the 15 meter or 25 meter coax cable as shown
in Figure 3 before fastening the antenna to the pole mount.
If a long (e.g. 3 meters) post is used onboard a vessel it is recommended that it is fastened
to the vessel using standard U-bolts rather than welding. This will enable the post to be
laid down in case removal of the antenna is required.

5.3.2 Pole Mount Component Description
1. Mounting Pole, Part No. SPAC-M00423, is a piece of standard tube, made from a
stainless steel alloy. The pole is part of the ventilation system for the radome. The
standard length is 400mm and must not be shortened.
2. Rubber Gasket, Part No. SPAC-M00425, is used to ensure that water or dust does
not enter into the area around the centre hole in the bottom of the dome. The centre
hole is part of the ventilation system for the dome and MUST NOT BE BLOCKED.
Also the gasket will protect the N-type connector from water and dust and hence
ensure long life.
3. U-bolts, Part No. SPAC-M01616, are used to fasten the Flange, SPAC-M01617 to
the Mounting Pole, SPAC-M00423, refer to Figure 3
4. Flange, Part No. SPAC-M01617 is used to connect the U-bolts, refer to Figure 3
5. U-bolts, Part No. SPAC-M01619, are used to fasten the Mounting Pole to any post
with a diameter between 35 and 50 mm, refer to Figure 3.
6. Bushes, Part No. SPAC-M01515, are used to ensure no electric contact between
the mechanical parts of the antenna (in the radome) and the Mounting Pole.
7. Plug, Part No. SPAC-M01620, is used for partially closing the bottom of the
Mounting Pole so that no surge of water will fill the tube or damage any part of the
antenna. Any condensing water within the antenna and/or tube is drained by the
plug. The plug will also prevent the coaxial cable from vibrating in the tube.
