The biggest issue I have seen so far, is the screws that hold the reflector on the end of the feedhorn seem to come out rather easily (they're just six small screws threaded into plastic).
Assembly is somewhat of a pain, but I can deal with that by just putting them together at the office before they need to be used... but when you put it together and drag it to the top of a grain leg only to find that it's unusable because parts are about to fall off, that's a bit of a problem. That said, from what limited testing I've done so far, they do seem to work quite well once you get them in place. ________________________________________ From: Af [af-bounces+mathew=litewire....@afmug.com] on behalf of Matt Jenkins via Af [af@afmug.com] Sent: Thursday, September 25, 2014 11:26 AM To: af@afmug.com Subject: [AFMUG] Cambium Force100 Assembly Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qCE44yo_PQ Took him 13 minutes to put it together. Yes, there was a bit of time for commentary, but not of unboxing. Lets see a video of someone from cambium start with a boxed up unit and and assembly this outside in freezing rain. 1. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes to assemble anything by installers. 2. There should be no parts than can't be worked with while wearing waterproof gloves. 3. All nuts should be accessible with a socket. If a deep socket is required, like for a U-Bolt, then there should be plenty of room to get the socket on and off said nut. 4. All parts should be keyed in a manner to prevent them being installed sideways or upside down. 5. There should be nothing that cannot get wet. If things like N-connectors can get wet, they should come with rubber caps to prevent that until the unit is assembled and an umbrella/cover can be used to prevent rain/snow from getting on the connectors. 6. Many other smaller issues with this.... Maybe someone else can add what they see.
