SATELLITE ALLIGNMENT

Alignment with the satellite is obtained by seng polarizaon, elevaon, and azimuth. Charts are provided in this manual to deter-

mine the values for your earth staon antenna site.“ΔL” is the dierence between the earth staon antenna site longitude and the

satellite longitude. Use “ΔL” and your earth staon latude to obtain polarizaon, elevaon or azimuth seng.

POLARIZATION OF FEED

Refer to the instrucons packed with the feed assembly.

ELEVATION - INITIAL SETTING

Use chart 1 and determine your elevaon seng. Rotate elevaon adjustment nuts unl desired elevaon is indicated on the

elevaon scale plate, quick adjustment can be achieved by taking the weight of theantenna and spinning the adjustment nuts by

hand.

NOTE: This is an approximate seng, the opmum seng will be achieved during ne tuning.
