5.19 Preparing for Shipment
If you need to repack the antenna unit for shipment, the shipping
restraint that was removed during installation must be
reattached. Follow the steps below to reinstall the restraint and
get the antenna unit ready for shipping.
1. Using a heavy-duty tie-wrap
(which was detached at the
time of installation)
, secure the antenna frame to the
internal sensor’s mounting bracket.
