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.
