3.4. Installing the ADE
The antenna pedestal is shipped completely assembled in its radome.
WARNING: Hoisting with other than a webbed four-part sling may result in catastrophic crushing
of the radome. Refer to the specifications and drawings for the fully assembled weight of your
model Antenna/Radome and assure that equipment used to lift/hoist this system is rated
accordingly.
CAUTION: The antenna/radome assembly is very light for its size and is subject to large swaying
motions if hoisted under windy conditions. Always ensure that tag lines, attached to the radome
base frame, are attended while the antenna assembly is being hoisted to its assigned location
aboard ship.
WARNING: Assure that all nut & bolt assemblies are tightened according the tightening torque
values listed below:
Bolt Size Inch Pounds
1/4-20 75
5/l6-18 132
3/8-16 236

1. The antenna pedestal is shipped completely assembled in its 80.8” single piece radome.
Preparing The Single Piece 80.8” Radome Assembly
2. Remove the shipping hold-down bolts which mount the ADE to its’ pallet.
3. Attach a four-part lifting sling to the four lifting eyes in
the base of the radome and lift the radome
assembly free of its shipping pallet. Place the radome
assembly on temporary support blocks at least 22 inches
high.
4. Loosely assemble the radome base frame's eight
legs and eleven braces as shown in the Radome Base
Frame Assembly drawing using the hardware
provided. Insure that a split washer is used under
each nut. When assembled, tighten all hardware.
5. Using the four-part lifting sling, and with a tag line
attached to the radome base frame, hoist the antenna
assembly to its assigned location aboard ship by means
of a suitably-sized crane or derrick.
6. The radome assembly should be positioned with
the BOW marker aligned as close as possible to the ship centerline. Any variation from actual
alignment can be compensated with the AZIMUTH TRIM adjustment in the ACU, so precise
alignment is not required.
