Installing the ADE
The antenna pedestal is shipped completely assembled in its radome. Please refer to the entire Site Survey
chapter of this manual.
Base Hatch Access
- Mounting the radome directly on the deck or
platform prevents access to the hatch in the base of the radome unless an
opening is designed into the mounting surface to allow such entry. If there
is no access to the hatch the only way to service the antenna is to remove
the radome top. Two people are required to take the top off of the radome
without cracking or losing control of it, but even with two people a gust of
wind may cause them to lose control and the radome top may be
catastrophically damaged (see repair information in the radome
specifications) or lost.
If access to the hatch cannot be provided in the mounting surface, provide
a short ADE mounting stanchion to mount the ADE on which is tall
enough to allow access into the radome via the hatch.
Ladder rungs must be provided on all mounting stanchions greater than 3-4
feet tall to allow footing for personnel safety when entering the hatch of
the radome.
Cable Passage - The
radome base is designed with a bottom center cable passage and Roxtec®
Multidiameter® blocks for cable strain relief. The recommended cable passage in the 50, 60, 61 and 66 inch
radomes is through the bottom center of the radome base, down through the ADE mounting stanchion,
through the deck and into the interior of the ship.
Bottom center cable passage is recommended, however, a strain relief kit is provided with the system if off-
center cable entry is required.
Note: Strain relief installation procedure, provided in the Drawings chapter,
MUST be followed to assure that the cored holes are properly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and
de-lamination of the radome base.
