LIMITED TWELVE (12) MONTH WARRANTY
This ANDREW CORPORATION® equipment is warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and
service. ANDREW shall repair or replace defective equipment, at no charge, or at its option, refund the purchase price, if
the equipment is returned to ANDREW not more than twelve (12) months after shipment. Removal or reinstallation of
equipment and its transportation shall not be at the cost of ANDREW except ANDREW shall return repaired or replaced equipment
freight prepaid.
This Warranty shall not apply to equipment which has been repaired or altered in any way so as to affect its stability or durability, or which
has been subject to misuse, negligence or accident. This Warranty does not cover equipment which has been impaired by severe
weather conditions such as excessive wind, ice, storms, lightning, or other natural occurrences over which ANDREWhas no control,
and this Warranty shall not apply to equipment which has been operated or installed other than in accordance with the instructions fur-
nished by ANDREW.
Claimants under this Warranty shall present their claims along with the defective equipment to ANDREW immediately upon failure. Non-
compliance with any part of this claim procedure may invalidate this warranty in whole or in part.
THIS WARRANTY IS EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER AGREEMENTS AND WARRANTIES, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE IS LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE DURATION OF THIS
WARRANTY. ANDREW DOES NOT AUTHORIZE ANY PERSON TO ASSUME FOR IT THE OBLIGATIONS CONTAINED IN THIS WAR-
RANTY
AND
ANDREW
NEITHER
ASSUMES
NOR
AUTHORIZES
ANY
REPRESENTATIVE
OR
OTHER
PERSON TO ASSUME FOR IT ANY OTHER LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH THE EQUIPMENT DELIVERED OR PROVIDED.
IN NO EVENT SHALL ANDREW BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF USE, INTERRUPTION OF
BUSINESS, OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND.
In no event shall ANDREW be liable for damages in an amount greater than the purchase price of the equipment.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
WATCH FOR WIRES! Installation of this product near power lines is dangerous. For your own safety, follow these
important safety rules.
1.
Perform as many functions as possible on the ground.
2.
Watch out for overhead power lines. Check the distance to the power lines before starting installation. We recommend
you stay a minimum of 6 meters (20 feet) from all power lines.
3.
Do not use metal ladders.
4.
Do not install antenna or mast assembly on a windy day.
5.
If you start to drop antenna or mast assembly, get away from it and let it fall.
6.
If any part of the antenna or mast assembly comes in contact with a power line, call your local power company.
DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE IT YOURSELF! They will remove it safely.
7.
Make sure that the mast assembly is properly grounded.
WARNING!!!
Assembling dish antennas on windy days can be dangerous. Because of the antenna surface, even slight winds
create strong forces. For example, a 1.0m antenna facing a wind of 32 km/h (20 mph) can undergo forces of 269 N
(60 lbs). Be prepared to safely handle these forces at unexpected moments. Do not attempt to assemble, move or
mount a dish on windy days or serious, even fatal accidents may occur. ANDREW is not responsible or liable for dam-
age or injury resulting from antenna installations.
SITE SELECTION
The first and most important consideration when choosing a prospective antenna site is whether or
not the area can provide an acceptable “look angle” at the satellites. A site with a clear, unobstructed view from a suitable
roof or wall facing south, southeast or southwest is required. Your antenna site must be selected in advance so that you
will be able to receive the strongest signal available. To avoid obstructions, it is important to conduct an on-site survey with
a portable antenna.
As with any type of construction, a local permit may be required before installing an antenna. It is the owner’s
responsibility to obtain any and all permits.
INTRODUCTION
This manual covers the installation of the ANDREW 1.0m &
1.2m SMC antenna system with AZ/EL cap mount and Ku-
single polarity feed.
For best results in the assembly process, perform each step
in the same sequence as listed in this manual.
ASSEMBLY TOOLS REQUIRED
The following list of tools are those required for hand assembly and installation of the antenna.
1 - Ratchet Wrench (³⁄₈” Drive)
1 - 10mm Nut Driver
1 - 13mm Socket (³⁄₈” Drive)

1. When wind velocity exceeds 108 MPH on the 90cm antenna at heights shown, the
ground pole must be a heavy wall pipe as follows: 2” pipe (2³⁄₈” O.D.) Schedule 80
(.218” wall thickness) and purchased locally. Field weld ¹⁄₄ x 1¹⁄₂ x 5 key as shown in
Fig. 1.0 to prevent rotation in the concrete or use 3” O.D. ground pole and AZ/EL cap.
2. These charted values based on using Model 611652931 ground pole, 2.375 O.D. x
1.54 wall.When wind velocity exceeds 108 MPH, use 3” O.D. ground pole and AZ/EL
cap.
3. Pole and foundation design based on the following criteria: (a) Uniform Building
Code Exposure C and 1.5 stability factor, (b) Vertical soil pressure of 2000 pounds
per square foot, (c) Lateral soil pressure of 400 pounds per square foot, (d) Concrete
compressive strength of 2500 pounds per square inc h in 28 days.
4. CAUTION - The foundation design shown does not represent an appropriate design
for any specific locality since soil conditions vary and may not meet design criteria
given in Note 1. You should consult a local professional engineer to determine your
soil conditions and appropriate foundation.
