Attaching the optional
shroud This section explains how to attach the optional shroud to the feed
assembly. The shroud helps protect the feed assembly and
improves its appearance, but it is not required.
One side of the shroud is wider than the other. You place the
wider side on the right side of the feed assembly, as you face the
antenna.
The shroud screws are in a bag taped inside the shroud. The two
side screws are optional, but installing them does provide a
tighter fit and plug the screw holes.
Before placing the shroud over the feed assembly, be sure the
cables are positioned so that when the shroud is placed it does not
interfere with or cause sharp bends in the cables, especially at the
connectors.
To attach the shroud:
1. Facing the antenna reflector, place the shroud over the feed
assembly so that the broad side is on the right. Align the side
screw holes. The sides of the oval hole fit either behind, or in
the feed horn groove, which is shown in Figure 27.
