The possible running of the antenna by the strong wind is mainly in horizontal direction. There is little possibility of the vertical direction.

POLE MOUNTING STRUCTURE

Inconveniency
1) The antenna leaves far from Tower.
2) The Side strut fixation becomes difficult or impossible to setting within the range. 3) The wind pressure of whole Tower increases. The possibility that Tower moves and leg twist increases. 4) The possibility that the ANT runs becomes high. 5) The damage of the thunderclap increases on ANT and ODU. 6) The work with ODU becomes difficult. 7) The cable and/or the feeder fault come out in the vibration of the antenna. 25o ANT.

Examples of Solution for Bad Installation

(The way of preventing from a mistake)

ANT. MOUNTING POLE

The Axis of movement

SOLUTION - 1
The solution to have using the same leg.

It installs antenna support fittings in the left side of ANT dish.

It is prominent
TOWER

TOWER

The bad example

* The antenna leaves far from Tower. * The condition where there is antenna support
fitting oppositely.

* It is easy to undergo influence by the wind.

Impossible to setting side strut.

SOLUTION - 2
The solution to have using the another leg. It installs antenna support fittings in the right side of ANT dish.

The cable and/or the feeder fault come out in the vibration of the antenna.

* Others much problems occur.

TOWER

Do an enough review before doing the assembly of the antenna set !!

Mounting bolt hole for Side Strut 1.2m ANT of Phase-1 ( Note: without Side Strut bracket ) 1.2m ANT with Side Strut bracket ( Note: After Phase-1 project )

Examples of Antennas Installed (1)

1) Installation of the ANT Good. It had better lower a little, for fixing side strut on horizontal structure (angle) of the Tower. Side strut 2) Side strut mounting NG Fix at the tower direction in the range of the regulation (25deg).

New Side Strut for P-I 1.2m ANT ? 1) Installation of the ANT . It should install the antenna on the right side of mounting pole. 2) Side strut mounting (Belt type) OK? Installed 03.April.2008, LSK200 - LSKR55 It impossible to mount side strut on the correct place of ANT (left side). Because, are mistaken by the antenna installation. Additional side strut for Phase-I (1.2m ANT) It is the actual type of side strut in these cases. ?

Examples of Antennas Installed (2)

1) Installation of the ANT NG. (Site IKI001) It should be install the antenna on the left side of pole. 2) Side strut mounting NG Install in the correct place of ANT. Fix at the tower direction in the range of the regulation (25deg). In actual condition of ANT is impossible to set side strut on regulation. Because, are mistaken by the antenna installation. 3) Long IF cable without support, it damage connector by vibration.

1) Installation of the ANT NG. (Site IGTR41 Dir IGTR4) It should be install the antenna on the right side of pole. 2) Side strut mounting NG Install in the correct place of ANT. In actual condition of ANT is impossible to set side strut on regulation. Because, are mistaken by the antenna installation.
3) Long IF cable without support, it damage connector by vibration.

Procedure of Antenna Orientation (1+1 S/D) after Installation

Site A
STEP-1 Turn "ON" the power of No.1 IDUs at both sites. The power of both No2 IDUs save OFF, for check the cross connection of IF cables. Proceed the orientation of the Main dishes one by one. Fix MAIN dish at both sites. Confirms the label-indication of the IF cables is right. IDU-1
