Skyware Anti-icing Equipment Antenna for 1,2m, 1,8m, and 2,4m antennas

The Skyware Global De-Icing System is custom designed for our line of VSAT RxTx antenna systems. A de-icing system prevents signal loss due to snow and ice build-up on the surface of the reflector.The Skyware Global half-aperture reflector de-icing system consists of a defrost panel that is attached to the reflector by self-drilling screws.This De-Icing system can easily be installed in the field using a socket wrench and cordless drill. Removal of two lower reflector bolts is necessary to install the defrost panel.

Product Code: Anti-icing Equipment Antenna for 1.2m, 1.8m, and 2.4m antennas

Moisture and temperature sensors allow the system to activate when temperatures are below 38° F and when precipita­tion exists. Heating elements supply heat uniformly over the surface of the defrost panel, which consists of the following three layers:

  • The outside layer is a heavy-duty, vinyl-coated polyester material that is especially designed for weather protection.
  • The middle layer consists of high temperature insulation.
  • The inside layer, next to the rear, lower half of the reflector, contains the heating elements.
  • All materials comply with EU directive No. 2002/95/EC (RoHS)
