I will give them credit for standardizing the tools you need for assembly and installation, if you have a 13mm wrench and a 5mm hex key you’re probably good to go. I think stuff with ground screws maybe takes a 10mm wrench.
Of course I got eye rolls from installers when I told them they’d need a hex key. A METRIC hex key. And you really need a bit for your cordless drill unless you’ve got all day.

If it is tower gear, make them wear a harness and do it a couple feet above ground. Ideally put a big ass fan and some water behind it.

Set them in the sun for a little bit? I haven't noticed any more problem than usual snapping them on a Force200 in below freezing weather. Although the last one I did actually broke off one of the clips when it snapped on. Just pray you never have to take one off.... I think you have to remember that the designers of the equipment have never actually set foot outside the office. Everything assembles fine when it's done with all parts individually lined up on a conference table in a 72 degree room. All companies should make the design engineering team assemble all equipment on the tailgate of a pickup in a 20mph wind at 15 degrees, and I guarantee that it will be redesigned.

I’ve had to resort to hammers and heat guns. I don’t remember them being this difficult at first, maybe they shrink or get stiff sitting in the distribution warehouse, or maybe before I was doing it in August or something. Usually the biggest problem is the next to last tab. I don’t want to make it the installers problem because then I know I will start seeing dishes on houses with no radome, and a pile of radomes in the truck. I want the radome for windload, appearance, and snow resistance. Is there some kind of trick that someone has found to installing these devils? -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
