To assemble the EXPLORER 6075LX
3.2.1
Prerequisites
Wind speed considerations
The antenna is designed to operate under the wind speeds given in the specifications in
Note that the antenna may point away from the satellite in winds blowing faster than the
operational wind speed limit. At higher wind speeds drive the antenna manually to the stow
position. See
3.2.2
Assembly
The EXPLORER 6075LX ships from the factory calibrated and ready for use. To be fully
operational, you must deploy the Base Unit, install the RF assembly and the reflector, and
connect the IFL and power cables. After power-up, the system will auto-acquire the
network within typically five minutes. To assemble the EXPLORER 6075LX, do as follows:
1. Unpack the Base Unit and place it upon level ground.
2. Deploy the two support legs. Make sure they are far apart to obtain more stability.
3. Turn the adjustment screws to move the feet up and down to level the base and achieve
stability.
4. Unpack the RF assembly.
Important
Do not assemble or operate the terminal at wind speeds exceeding the
operational wind speeds. In case the wind speeds exceed the operational
wind speed limit while the antenna is assembled or operational, stop the
antenna and remove the petals and the feed horn. In case the wind speeds
exceed the survival wind speed limit while the antenna is assembled or
operational, disassemble and pack the antenna.

WARNING!
The EXPLORER 6075LX may fall over if it is not stable.
Anchor the terminal to the ground for further stability, e.g. in situations
with high wind. For anchoring you may add extra weight, e.g. sand bags, to
the support legs or
insert stakes through the holes in the support feet
