Mounting Recommendations
The antenna mount must support the antenna weight and wind force created by the nominal
wind speeds for that location.
An “unobstructed line of sight” from the antenna to the satellite is essential for reliable
communications.
Mount the antenna as far away from any noise producing sources as possible.
RF
interference can originate from any number of unexpected sources such as high-tension
lines, electrical and radio equipment and telecommunication towers. When installed and
properly maintained next to or in an existing structure, ensure antenna is well away from air
conditioners, electrical motors or other electrical devices.
Site Selection
Your
SDT-5000
assembly has been thoroughly tested and designed for use in rugged weather
conditions. However, care and attention is still required for a proper installation. Select a site with
a clear unobstructed line of sight to the satellite.
The
SDT-5000
is environmentally sealed, so it may be mounted directly outdoors. The unit may be
installed indoors behind a glass window, provided there is a line of sight from the antenna to the
satellite through the window, and the window does not have a coating that reflects
RF
energy.
The
SDT-5000
was tested and certified to operate in Class 1, Div. 2, Groups C&D hazardous
locations.
