Required antenna mount type is (check one): Roof (penetrating) type , Wall type , Ground-level type , Other type , Describe:_____. If antenna is roof mounted, please indicate the height (above ground) of the proposed antenna location:_____ meters Indicate how the antenna can be installed on site (crane, hoist, etc) and any restrictions involved : _____.

6 Antenna deicer power is: Available , To be installed , Not required . -5- Contract Nr.: _____ site Name: _____ Date: _____. MAINS POWER: UPS (Uninteruptable power Supply). Is a UPS available for providing power to the VSAT equipment Yes / No (please circle). Size (in KWH) of UPS _____ KWH. Is the UPS shared by other equipment (eg the customer router?)

Is the UPS running in stand-by mode (where the equipment power only switched to UPS.)

7 When there is a mains-fail), or is the UPS running continually from batteries? (The stand-by mode and some units only operate this way, creates an interuption and back-EMF when switching back to full mains power. The back EMF of some UPS's is sufficient to damage satellite comnmunication equipment).
