2.1 Radome scanner

Securing the radome scanner to the mounting surface

CAUTION:

The drain tube must always be used, but may be shortened if necessary

1.Using the paper template supplied with the scanner mounting kit, mark the flat mounting surface with the mounting holes and drain tube hole, and drill the holes as indicated on the template.

If it is impractical to drill a hole for the drain tube, then the scanner unit should be mounted on 4 suitable spacers 10 mm high and the drain tube length reduced by 10 mm. It will then be clear of the flat surface and can still perform its function.

Note: If you are using a Raytheon mast mount bracket, the surface is pre-prepared.

Note: If you are mounting the scanner on a flat surface, you may find it easier to fit the drain tube, as described in the following section, be- fore securing the scanner.

2.Position the scanner on the mounting surface, ensuring that the cable inlet is pointing aft.

3.Locate the bolts and washers supplied with the scanner, grease the bolts, and secure the scanner to the mounting surface as shown in the following diagram. Tighten the bolts to 20 Nm (14.7 lb ft); ensure the scanner is tightly fitted.
