Andrew Corp. has been in the satellite industry for a very long time, and with their recent acquisition of Channel Master, Andrew provides some of the most popular commercial satellite dish antenna systems on the market today for both residential and commercial applications. Andrew also manufactures both heated dish antenna systems and add-on heating systems for their Andrews / Channel Master line of VSAT products, so if you have an Andrew or Channel Master system, you may want to stick with them for your upgrade or add-on heating system needs. The Andrews / Channel Master heating systems are 110v or 220v electric heating systems that install on the back of your Andrew / Channel Master system. The Andrew Corporation Active De-Icing System is custom designed for their 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 Andrew Corporation half-aperture reflector de-icing system consists of a defrost panel that is attached to the reflector by self-tapping screws. The Andrew Corporation 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. Moisture and Temperature sensors allow the system to activate when temperatures are below 38 degrees 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.
