Antenna Hydrophobic Coating Protection
Instruction
The polycarbonate cover in front of the antenna is covered by "Cytonix
Fluorothane™ -AD super-hydrophobic air drying polymer system" in
order to minimize the effects on antenna performance by heavy rain, snow
fall and protect against ice accumulation.
Fluorothane™ AD will repel water, snow, ice and many aqueous liquids or
suspensions. The coating is not repellent to organic solvents or products that
contain them.
Cytonix Fluorothane™ -AD is sprayable featuring separate Base and Top
coat materials. In most cases, surfaces will self-clean in the rain. Surfaces
that have become contaminated with soot or organic materials may be
spritzed with cleaners or detergent solutions and then rinsed with a gentle
spray of water. Coated surfaces should never be cleaned with brushes,
scouring pads or high pressure sprays.
Units should be handled with care in order to avoid damaging the
Hydrophobic coating.
Avoid touching the polycarbonate top cover in the area in front of the
antenna transmission window (as shown below).
Damaged coatings may often be restored by application of additional Top
Coat.
In case of touching the coated surface in front of the antenna by mistake,
assuming the contact is light and momentary and/or on a small area there is
no need for coating restoration.
