When the De-icer is installed:
1. Before beginning any work on the antenna unit, turn off the breaker for the de-icer line at
the main switchboard to remove the power (100 VAC, 1ø) to the de-icer. (Turning off the
power to the display unit has no effect.)
2. The neck of the antenna unit becomes VERY HOT when the de-icer is working. (The
de-icer turns on when ambient temperature goes down to 5ºC and goes up to 12ºC.)

2. Apply grease to the O-ring located in the flange.
3. Coat between mating surfaces of the coupler at the end of the coaxial cable and
