6.0 INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
6.1 CAUTIONS
WARNING
Only HNS-Certified installers can install
DIRECWAY-SP Earth Stations.
All HNS-Certified installers shall have
expressly acknowledged the HNS
requirements for DIRECWAY-SP
installations.
CAUTION
The DIRECWAY-SP ANTENNA
SYSTEM must be installed in a
location or manner not readily
accessible to children and in a
manner that prevents human
exposure to potentially harmful levels
of radiation.
DIRECWAY-SP Antennas mounted in
the Continental United States, Puerto
Rico and any site with greater than a
30 degree elevation angle shall be
mounted such that the lower lip of the
antenna reflector is at least 1.5
meters (no less than 5 feet) above
the high point of any surface, within a
radius of 3.0 meters (10 feet)] upon
which a person might be expected to
stand. DIRECWAY-SP Antennas
mounted in Canada, Alaska, Hawaii,
and any location with lower than a 30
degree elevation angle shall be
installed such that the lower lip of the
satellite dish is at least 1.75 meters (5
feet, 9 inches) above any surface in
proximity of the antenna upon which
a person can be expected to stand.
In addition, the Antennas shall be
mounted such that no object which
could reasonably be expected to
support a person is within 2 meters (6
feet, 7 inches) of the edges of a
cylinder extending from the antenna
reflector in the direction of maximum
radiation.
Alternatively, the antenna must
mounted in an area inaccessible to
the general public, such as a fenced
off enclosure or a roof.
CAUTION
Unplug indoor power connection
before performing maintenance or
adding upgrades to any satellite
dish components.
CAUTION
The surface is covered with
hydrophobic coating.
Do not touch or allow anything to
come in contact with the front
surface of the satellite dish.
Disturbing or damaging the coating
can affect satellite dish
performance.
CAUTION
For enterprise installations, install
the satellite dish assembly using a
non-penetrating mount unless the
customer-specific specification
specifies another method.
Roof installations may void the
building's roof warranty so extreme
care should be exercised. Contact
your HNS installation management
team if you have any questions.
Follow the non-penetrating mount
manufacturer's assembly
instructions.
