2.4.11 Optional Deicing Installation
All components that are supplied with de-icing are wired to a junction box
located in the antenna hub. Run the cables from the components to the
junction box and consult the Controls manual supplied with the system for
additional installation and check-out procedures.
2.4.12 Electrical Installation
Controller, motors, limit switches, and wiring installation instructions are not
contained in this manual. Specific installation instructions will vary
depending on the actual controller and type of motors used for the 9M
antenna installation. Review the information received with the equipment for
specific installation instructions.
CAUTION
While adjusting limit switches, be careful not to let the
antenna run into any obstructions. Antenna mounts can be
damaged if design limits are exceeded before limit switches
are set. Be careful not to allow the TORQUETUBE™ to run
into the diagonal braces.
2.4.13 Corrosion Protection
After installation, the mount and antenna should be given a final paint touch-
up and an application of corrosion inhibitor at several points.
All painting should be done using a good quality commercial-grade paint
that is available in local hardware stores.
1. Apply gloss white paint to any surface of the mount that was paint-
damaged during shipping or installation. Paint procedures are in the
maintenance section.
2. Spray paint the heads, nuts, and exposed ends of all installed
fasteners to seal the joints.
