4.1 Mechanical installation

The sat-nms ACU-ODU is integrated into an outdoor cabinet that could be mounted outside directly at the antenna. There are 2 possibilities to mount the sat-nms ACU-ODU:

• If you mount the sat-nms ACU-ODU to a plain wall, make sure that the cabinet has a minimum distance of 5mm to the wall to ensure that the rain-roof will not be damaged through mounting the cabinet.
• If you mount the sat-nms ACU-ODU to an antenna mast, first fix 2 strong metal bars (e.g. C-Bars) in horizontal direction to the mast. After that, fix the sat-nms ACU-ODU to these metal bars Use at least M8 or comparable screws to fix the sat-nms ACU-ODU. On the following picture you can see an example where the sat-nms ACU-ODU is fixed to the antenna mast with C-Bars and according special nuts. These C-Bars can optionally be ordered at SatService.
