Hughes AN6-098P Manuale Utente

 

This section explains where you can find information on tasks 
related to antenna installation.

Factors you should consider in selecting an installation site are 
discussed in the HN System Antenna Site Preparation and 
Mount Installation Guide (1035678-0001). The installation site 
and mounting method may be specified in the customer-specific 
installation specification.

A suitable antenna mount must be installed before the antenna 
can be installed. Acceptable mounting methods are:

• Non-penetrating mount
• Trimast (may be used on a wood-frame roof or wood or 

masonry wall)

• Pole or pedestal mount

Most installations in a commercial, industrial, or institutional 
environment use a non-penetrating roof mount.

For pole or pedestal mounts that require a concrete base, you 
must allow at least 24 hr for the concrete to cure before you can 
install the antenna. Plan accordingly.

For complete information concerning antenna mount installation, 
refer to:

• The customer-specific installation specification
• The HN System Antenna Site Preparation and Mount 

The customer-specific installation specification may include 
customer-specific guidelines concerning mount installation. Use 
only the mounting method described in the specification. For 
mount installation instructions, see the HN System Antenna Site 
Preparation and Mount Installation Guide.

See the installation manual for the IDU (also referred to as a 
remote terminal.)

The entire antenna assembly must be grounded. For grounding 
information, refer to your training; best grounding practices; the 
Hughes Field Service Bulletin (FSB), HNS Broadband 
Requirements for RG-6 and RG-11 IFL Cable Connectors, 
Ground Blocks and Ground Block Location (FSB 50518_01C); 
and applicable parts of the National Electrical Code (NEC).
