2.4 Installation of the ADU (60 cm)
The ADU is shipped fully assembled. You have to install it on the mast and attach the ADU
cable.
The antenna comes with a lifting harness already fitted. The lifting harness is provided
solely for the purpose of installation of the antenna. The belt of fibre material prevents the
antenna from toppling during the lifting process.
The lifting harness (Cobham SATCOM part number TT 48-149056) is designed, tested and
conforms to the requirements for lifting equipment in DIRECTIVE 2006/42/EC OF THE
EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 17 May 2006 on machinery, and
amending Directive 95/16/EC (recast). The Working Load Limit (WLL) is defined as 40 kg.
WARNING!
Use the already mounted lifting harness to lift the ADU
without damaging the radome.
WARNING!
The ADU may be subject to swaying motions in windy
conditions. Always use tag lines to stabilise the ADU during hoisting. It is the
crane operator’s responsibility to determine whether the environmental
conditions are suitable for a safe lift.

WARNING!
Use the lifting harness only to lift the antenna. Do not lift other
objects or persons with the harness.
