SECTION IV
MAINTENANCE
4.0
MAINTENANCE OVERVIEW
After installation, the antenna requires only periodic inspection. It is
anticipated that maintenance, if required, will be minimal and easily
handled by a local or in-house maintenance staff.
4.1
REFLECTOR
Prodelin's reflector does not require any maintenance. The composite
construction of the reflector is virtually impervious to any damages that could be
caused by weather or atmospheric conditions. It is only necessary to inspect for
any physical damage done by vandalism or very severe weather conditions.
Should any damage be detected to a portion of the reflector, contact the
Customer Service Department at Prodelin for recommendations involving
reflector repair
.
4.2
MOUNT AND REFLECTOR SUPPORT STRUCTURE
The mount and reflector support structure supplied with this antenna is of steel
construction and has a powder painted finish.
If there are any signs of structural failure, the mount members that are damaged
should be repaired or replaced.
4.3
FEED AND FEED SUPPORT
The feed support and feed rods should be inspected to insure that all hardware is
secure. The feed/radio mounting bolts should be tight.
The feed horn window should be inspected to insure that it is intact so that no
moisture can collect inside the feed horn.
