U SING S TANDOFFS TO A TTACH S ENSOR
Consult the sensor manual for instructions on attaching the sensor to the
STB. However, if mounting the sensor on the tilting bracket in a location
under 46˚ latitude or in a situation which requires the angle of the tilting
bracket to be less than 28˚, you will need to use the standoffs supplied with
the tilting bracket as shown below. (The standoffs allow enough room
between the bottom of the sensor and the SMA.) The standoffs are made of
aluminum; take care not to overtighten when screwing into the bracket.
Consult the sensor manual for the remaining instructions on attaching the
sensor to the STB.
