Hughes AN6-098P Manuale Utente

 

In this manual, installation software refers to installation, 
pointing, and commissioning software accessed through the IDU, 
which works in conjunction with SBC.

Before proceeding, use the installation software to determine the 
initial values to use for setting azimuth, elevation, and 
polarization. Record these values and keep them handy for 
reference as you install and point the antenna. To use the 
installation software, follow the instructions in the IDU 
installation manual for commissioning the IDU.

Before you assemble the antenna, read these important 
instructions:

• Mast – The mast must be installed before you can install the 

antenna. For information on antenna mounting methods, see 
the HN System Antenna Site Preparation and Mount 
Installation Guide (1035678-0001). The mast must have an 
outside diameter of 2-

3

⁄

8

 inches (2.375 inches).

• Sequence of steps – When you assemble the antenna, follow 

• Tightening hardware– Do not tighten any nuts or other 

hardware until you are instructed to do so. (See also the next 
item, Torque.)

• Torque – To ensure successful installation of the antenna, you 

must tighten all nuts and socket-head cap screws to the 
maximum torque values shown in Table 6. This is a critical 
requirement. 

For bolts that use a split lock washer, tighten the bolt until the 
washer is flattened, but do not tighten the bolt further. When 
the washer is flattened, this indicates that sufficient torque 
has been applied.
