The scanner radiator and the scanner housing are shipped in separate packages
and must be assembled at installation. Assemble them as below. Refer to the
scanner unit assembling drawing at the back of this manual for details.
1. Remove two protective caps from the radiator flange and rotary joint flange.
2. Grease an O-ring and place it in the groove of the rotary joint flange. Make sure
the O-ring is not pinched during assembling.
3. Secure the feeder waveguide to the rotary joint flange with four M6x16 hex
bolts.
4. Fix the feeder waveguide on the radiator joint with four M4x16 washer head
bolts. Coat waveguide flange with silicone sealant as illustrated below.

Evenly coat the waveguide flange with silicone

sealant contacts the choke groove and waveguide.
