IMPORTANT!!! INSTALLATION OF THIS PRODUCT SHOULD BE PERFORMED ONLY BY A PROFESSIONAL INSTALLER AND IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CONSUMER D.I.Y. (DO-IT-YOURSELF) INSTALLATIONS.
DANGER!!! 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 if 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 dish on windy days or serious, even fatal accidents may occur. PATRIOT ANTENNA SYSTEMS is not responsible or liable for damage or injury resulting from antenna installations.
WARNING!!! Antennas improperly installed or installed to an inadequate structure are very susceptible to wind damage. This damage can be very serious or even life threatening. The owner and installer assumes full responsibility that the installation is structurally sound to support all loads (weight, wind & ice) and properly sealed against leaks. PATRIOT ANTENNA SYSTEMS will not accept liability for any damage caused by a satellite system due to the many unknown variable applications.

Introduction Thank you for purchasing your Patriot Commercial Antenna. We trust that you will find this to be a well designed product that will provide many years of reliable service. This manual covers the assembly and installation of the7.5m Antenna System. Read this manual thoroughly before beginning assembly. For best results in the assembly process. Perform each step in the same sequence as listed in this manual. Record the serial number of the unit on to page 2 for future reference and read the warranty information. The serial number can be found on the antenna back structure.
Unpacking and Inspection Shipping cartons should be unpacked and contents checked for damaged or missing parts. Should there be any parts that are damaged or missing, please contact technical support for replacement.
Site Selection The main objective of conducting a site survey utilizing a compass and inclinometer is to choose a mounting location on the ground that will give you the greatest amount of swing for azimuth and elevation for present as well as future use. A thorough pre-installation site survey is strongly recommended because it can alert you to any “look angle”, soil, wind or other problems. The first and most important consideration when choosing a prospective antenna site is whether or not the area can provide an acceptable “look angle” to the satellite. A site with a clear, unobstructed view facing south, southeast is required. Your antenna site must be selected in advance so that you will be able to receive the strongest signal available. Also consider obstructions that may occur in the future such as the growth of trees. It is important to conduct an on-site survey with a portable antenna or with a compass and clinometer to avoid interference, obstructions, etc. When selecting “look angle”, be sure to observe and take readings approximately 10 deg to the left and right, above and below your selected “look angle”. Before Ground Pole Installation, the soil type should be checked because soil conditions vary widely in composition and load bearing capacity. A soil check will help you to determine the type and size of foundation required to provide a stable base for the antenna. Before digging is done, information regarding the possibility of underground telephone lines, power lines, storm drains, etc., in the excavation area should be obtained from the appropriate agency. As with any other type of construction, a local building permit may be required before installing an antenna. It is the property owner’s responsibility to obtain any and all permits. Ground mounts are certified for 125 mph wind survival.
Foundation 1. Follow the specifications for materials, layout, and preperation in Appendix A for the Foundation.
