GENERAL INFORMATION

Antennas which transmit RF energy or those equipped with electrical

accessories such as feed heaters, main reflector heaters, rain deviators,
enclosure vent fans, and motors are regulated by European Union
directives (CE).

CE customers are cautioned, a CE label affixed to a product does not automatically guarantee total CE compliance, it is the
end user’s obligation to insure the product operation is in compliance with the relevant CE directives existing at the time of
installation. Safety is a shared responsibility between Andrew Corporation, the ESA manufacturer, and our ESA customer.

Adding motors and the Andrew LMKDS or LMKVS-CPU to a manual ESA creates a machine. Antennas equipped
with electrical motors are regulated by the CE MACHINERY Directive (EU Directive 98/37/EC).

There are four (4) basic categories that characterize the ESA.

A MANUAL RECEIVE ONLY ESA is not a machine and does not generate or require the use of hazardous voltages.
Antenna access should be limited for reasons of security, for general safety, and to service engineers and technicians. Does
not bear or require CE labeling.

RF radiation level of a MANUAL TRANSMIT ESA must be compliant with R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC and harmonized
standard ETSI TS 101 136(v1.3.1 2001-06) whether equipped with accessories covered by the LVD, EMC Directive, or the
Machinery Directive. In the case of a transmitting ESA it is recommended that RF emission levels be determined and
certified safe by a local chartered (licensed professional) engineer. Access to transmitting antennas must be limited to
maintenance engineers and technicians. Approach points and the entrance must be posted with RF radiation hazard signs.
Does not bear or require a CE label.

MANUAL RECEIVE ONLY OR TRANSMIT/RECEIVE ESA accessorized with a feed heater, heated reflector, fan vent
kit, antenna environmental system controller, or rain deviator must be compliant with the LVD and EMC Directive as
applicable. The integrated system is designed to comply with the existing relevant directives at the time of manufacture
when installed in accordance with the supplied instructions. Antenna system access should be limited to installation and
maintenance engineers or technicians. The antenna site entrance must be posted with relevant hazard signs and state that
access is only to service engineers or technicians. Posted hazard and information signs should be displayed at normal
viewing height. Those products covered by the LVD (EU Directive 73/23/EEC) and as applicable EMC Directive (EU
Directive 89/336/EEC) bear the CE label.

THE MOTORIZED ESA is a MACHINE. Motorization kits are supplied with a Declaration of Conformity to the
Machinery Directive. The motorized antenna system access should be limited to qualified installation and maintenance
engineers or technicians. Antenna entrance must posted with relevant hazard signs and access is only to service engineers
and technicians. Posted hazard, warning, and applicable information signs should be displayed at normal viewing height.
The posting should include the warning that the antenna may start into motion at anytime without a prior indication or alarm.

The LMKDS or LMKVS-CPU and electric motors bear the CE label.

APC and ACS type controllers comply with the EMC (EU Directive 89/336/EEC as amended by 93/68/EEC) and the LVD
(73/23/EEC). Installation and servicing should be done only by service engineers and technicians. APC's and ACS's bear the
CE label.

Operating local motor controllers (LMKDS or LMKVS) and remote antenna controllers (APC and ACS) create very low
sound levels. The remote and local controllers noise levels are far below the EHSR 70 dB(A) CE limit.

Andrew ESA's are designed and manufactured under an ISO 9001:2000 compliant quality management system. Guaranteed
mechanical and electrical characteristics are determined through engineering calculation and/or measurement based upon the
standard terms, definitions, and concepts for design and measurement methodology of earth station antennas stated within,
EIA-411-A Electrical and Mechanical Characteristics of Earth Station Antenna For Satellite Communications. EIA-411-A is
the standard referenced for the Andrew ISO 9001:2000 engineering, measurement procedures, and work instructions.

Andrew ESA products are designed to survive 200 km/h (125 mph) winds. Bodily harm such as crushing from a damaged
antenna is more likely to occur due to improper assembly techniques than by excessive winds encountered during severe
weather. Liberal use of high strength ASTM A-325 type hardware insures that antenna mounts conservatively meet wind
load performance. Installers must insure that ASTM A-325 type hardware has been stretched in accordance with the
provided assembly antenna instructions for this hardware to develop the holding strength.

Many antenna sub-assemblies/components weigh more than eighteen kilograms. Installers should be directed to adopt two or
more man lifting policies and follow installation instructions for these heavier items. Assembly techniques diagram primary
reflector lifting attachment points and direct that the reflector lift should be made at wind speeds under 40 km/h (25 mph).

Mechanical stops are built into elevation and azimuth jackscrew mechanisms such that loss of limit switch function will not
cause structural failure that would endanger personnel.

Andrew ESA products are designed to be installed and serviced by qualified installers, maintenance engineers, and
technicians. Access to the ESA site must be of a limited nature. For example, a fenced ESA site with a locked gate or
constructed in a location, such as a roof top, that normally limits or features a positively controlled access is mandatory in CE
States. General public and operations personnel are not to be granted access to ESA sites unless under the direct supervision
of qualified maintenance engineers/technicians. Access is limited to maintenance engineers and technicians to maintain the
built in ESA safety system features.

Entrance to the ESA site should be posted with signs clearly stating that access is permitted only to qualified maintenance
engineers/technicians and the method to contact the site operator. For those motorized sites the posting should include a
warning that the antenna may start into motion at anytime without a prior indication or alarm. ESA users should investigate
whether local regulations require a posted twenty-four hour contact telephone number. Posted hazard, warning, and
applicable information signs should be displayed at normal viewing height.

Basic insulation is used in the ESA electrical system distribution with double insulation provided when required. For
example, the control circuitry power transformer within the motorized antenna uses double insulation between the primary
and secondary circuitry. Operators are not permitted to touch basic insulated circuitry therefore only maintenance
engineers/technicians are permitted access. The fenced or controlled access area is an integral part of both the mechanical
and electrical ESA safety system.

Each ESA foundation diagram details a suggested earthing (grounding) system. Andrew ESA products offer lightning/static
discharge systems for dissipation of electrostatic phenomena. Because local needs may vary it is recommended that a
chartered (licensed professional) engineer determine final foundation, earthing (grounding), and lightning/static discharge
configurations.

Motorized ESA products include a local motor control box that incorporates a mains disconnect, emergency stop switch,
individual motor starters, and control supply circuit breakers. The motorized antenna local motor controller incorporates a
unique dual path command and control system such that a single point failure does not cause antenna movement.

A plug-in hand held controller is employed to facilitate on site control of the motorized antenna local motor controller. When
the hand held is in use at the antenna site any remote location motion command is interrupted, only the maintenance engineer
or technician at the antenna site has authorization to move the antenna. At the antenna, the hand held serves the maintenance
engineer and technician as a portable fail safe motion control device requiring the motor run switch to be firmly held to
facility motion. Releasing the switch stops the motion.

Although an emergency stop switch is provided, it is redundant because of the dual control path fail-safe nature of the local
motor controller and the portable hand held system. The hand held controller connecting cable length is sufficient to permit
the maintenance engineer/technician to carry the device to antenna work areas. Once the hand held is unplugged from the
local motor controller, remote control is normalized.

Customer provided step ladders and additional lighting are required for ESA servicing when work platforms or lighting kit
options are not installed. Local safety requirements vary. It is the ESA user’s responsibility to insure compliance with
relevant regulations.

Severe eye and/or injury to other parts of the body can occur if exposed to the radio frequency energy of a transmitting
antenna. When working near the feed area or in front of the main reflector, maintenance engineers and technicians must
insure RF levels are safe. Transmitting antennas should be turned off before entering the area.

Installers, maintenance engineers, and technicians should use protective safety equipment applicable to the work being
performed, e.g., wearing safety glasses when field work requires drilling, grinding, welding, or any task that may create an
eye hazard.

The APC and ACS type controllers, local motor controllers, anti-ice heating and control options, fan and vent options, and
lighting options require individual branch circuits utilizing circuit breakers/fused disconnects provided by the customer at the
time of installation.

Electrical accessories may present a hazard. Installers, maintenance engineers, and technicians should insure that primary
power has been removed prior to installation and/or maintenance of electrical accessories.
