Mounting the Certus 350 ADU / Antenna
NOTE
Prior to installing the ADU, it is important to determine which
hardware is best suited for installation – M6 or M10 hardware.
The Installation Kit (PN 1100791-501) contains the mounting
hardware needed for installation.
Refer to the following paragraph, depending on the installation
type required:
• Installation of ADU / Antenna using M6 Hardware
• Installation of ADU / Antenna using M10 Hardware
NOTE
The Antenna Mounting Template is provided in Appendix A for
use in fabricating a custom plate. A mounting plate is not
included in the kit, but Thales offers two pole mount brackets as
accessory items. (Refer to Appendix C.)
The antenna is mounted with either four M6 (torque to 6 N*m (4.4 ft.-lbs.)) or four M10 (torque
to 28 N*m (20.6 ft.-lbs.)) stainless steel bolts (KIT #1100791-501) as appropriate for the chosen
mounting pattern on the base of the antenna. Anti-seize compound can be applied to the
stainless hardware immediately prior to installation to ease future removal.
