Deformed steel per ASTM A615, Grade 40 or 60. ■ Coaxial Cable: Size and length required. SITE SELECTION The first and most important consideration when choosing a prospective antenna site is whether or not the area can provide an acceptable “look angle” at the satellites. A site with a clear, unobstructed view is preferred. Also consider obstruction that may occur in the future such as the growth of trees. Your antenna site must be selected in advance so that you will be able to receive the strongest signal available. To avoid obstructions, etc., conduct an on-site survey with a portable antenna. As with any other type of construction, a local building permit may be required before installing an antenna. It is the property owner’s responsibility to obtain any and all permits. Before any digging is done, information regarding the possibility of underground telephone lines, power lines, storm drains, etc., in the excavation area should be obtained from the appropriate agency. Because soils vary widely in composition and load capacity, consult a local professional engineer to determine the appropriate foundation design and installation procedure. A suggested foundation design with conditions noted is included in this manual for reference purposes only (see page 4). To assist in the foundation design, refer to “Outline Drawing” in the Appendix “A” on page 16.

Charts 1, 2 & 3 are to determine the values for your earth station antenna site. “∆L” is the difference between the earth station antenna site longitude and the satellite longitude. Use “∆L” and your earth station latitude to obtain polarization, elevation or azimuth setting. HORN SCALE -40 0 +40 POLARIZATION OF FEED Loosen feed horn clamp bolts and turn feed clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on being east or west of the satellite as shown on Chart 1. Align marks on the horn clamp and appropriate mark on the horn scale. Polarization chart assumes antenna system polarization is Tx vertical and satellite vertical Pol is perpendicular to plane of geostationary arc. For horizontal Tx of antenna, feed must be rotated 90˚ from values shown. (Starting point for polarization adjustment is 0˚, as shown in Figure 3.0). CLAMP BOLT ALIGNMENT MARK FIGURE - 3.0 ELEVATION ALIGNMENT Use Chart 2 and determine your elevation setting. Using a clinometer, adjust the elevation by turning the elevation screw adjusting nuts until the desired elevation is obtained. Reference 3.1. NOTE: Degree values shown on the clinometer are mechanical; that is when the reflector face is vertical, mechanical elevation is 90˚ or axis is 0˚, while the beam elevation (signal) axis is 22.62˚. Therefore, as the reflector is tilted, remember to compensate for the 22.62˚ offset angle to get the correct beam elevation. (See Appendix A, Outline Drawing, Page 17). This is an approximate setting. Optimum setting will be achieved during the fine tuning.

Values in chart must be adjusted for magnetic deviation for your location for correct compass reading. Equally tighten the six azimuth locking bolts until snug. This will allow the reflector to rotate with slight resistance (Ref. Fig. 3.2.) Rotate reflector and mount, pointing to the compass reading for your location (Ref. Fig. 3.3.) Slowly sweep the reflector in azimuth until signal is found. If desired signal is not found, increase or decrease elevation setting and repeat the azimuth sweep. Tighten locking bolts.

Polarization chart assumes antenna system polarization is Tx vertical and satellite vertical Pol is perpendicular to plane of geostationary arc. For horizontal Tx of antenna, feed must be rotated 90˚ from values shown. (Starting point for polarization adjustment is 0˚, as shown in Figure 3.0). CLAMP BOLT ALIGNMENT MARK FIGURE - 3.0 ELEVATION ALIGNMENT Use Chart 2 and determine your elevation setting. Using a clinometer, adjust the elevation by turning the elevation screw adjusting nuts until the desired elevation is obtained. Reference 3.1. NOTE: Degree values shown on the clinometer are mechanical; that is when the reflector face is vertical, mechanical elevation is 90˚ or axis is 0˚, while the beam elevation (signal) axis is 22.62˚. Therefore, as the reflector is tilted, remember to compensate for the 22.62˚ offset angle to get the correct beam elevation. (See Appendix A, Outline Drawing, Page 17). This is an approximate setting. Optimum setting will be achieved during the fine tuning.

Values in chart must be adjusted for magnetic deviation for your location for correct compass reading. Equally tighten the six azimuth locking bolts until snug. This will allow the reflector to rotate with slight resistance (Ref. Fig. 3.2.) Rotate reflector and mount, pointing to the compass reading for your location (Ref. Fig. 3.3.) Slowly sweep the reflector in azimuth until signal is found. If desired signal is not found, increase or decrease elevation setting and repeat the azimuth sweep. Tighten locking bolts.

The four top plate locking bolts are factory torqued to 10-11 Ft-lbs., maintain this torque until after azimuth is fine tuned. Use a signal strength measuring device for final adjustments to obtain maximum antenna performance. Alternate between elevation and azimuth fine tuning to reach maximum signal strength, until no improvement can be detected. Gradually tighten (¹⁄₈ turn increments max.) top plate bolts in sequence 1, 3, 4 and 2 to 75 Ft-lbs., refer to Figure 3.2.
