MAINTENANCE

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. The materials used in the construction of this Earth
Station Antenna virtually eliminate any maintenance repairs.
6.1
PERIODIC INSPECTION
It is suggested that a periodic inspection be performed at least every six months
.
NOTE:
After any very severe weather condition, inspection of the antenna should
be performed to determine if foreign objects have caused damage or if
survival specification have been exceeded.
This inspection should include the following:
1:
Check all bolting locations - all bolts should be tight.
2:
Check all structural members - repair or replace if damaged.
3:
Check the foundation anchor bolts - they must be secure and have no failure
signs in the foundation.
4:
Check for corrosion - on the reflector structure and the mount.
6.2
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 other
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 recommendation involving reflector
repair.
