Hardware Installation
ASSEMBLY OF THE NON-PENETRATING ROOF MOUNT
The non-pen roof mount is by far the most common type of installation
platform used by the Galileo Satellite system.
It is named as
such because you do not attach the non-pen to the roof. It is
held in place by weight.
This method of non-penetration is preferred
by many business owners who want to avoid any kind of damage to the
roof that may result in water damage during rain.

All the hardware needed is included in the Non-Pen shipping box.
Non-Pen instructions.
A fully assembled non-pen.
Make sure to tighten all bolts.
Especially tighten this bolt which keeps the dish from rotating in a strong wind.
Use 10 to 12 concrete bricks to add weight to the non-pen for the permanent location of the Non-Pen.
Concrete bricks are purchased at any nursary. Shipping bricks is impractical.
KEEP IT COOL
Normally the Non-Pen is assembled, and then the dish is assembled on top of it. Once both are done, both the dish and non-pen are taken to the permanent location to be installed.
