CIRCULAR FEED ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
Refer to the following table for item and part numbers for these steps.
STEP 1: Assemble the ODU to the Tx port of the feed assembly (item #1) with the
disc and spacer, as shown in figure 2. Place the gasket (supplied with
ODU) between the feed and ODU flanges. Use the 2 short #10 screws
(item# 4) in the top 2 holes, and the 6 long #10 screws (item #5) through
the disc and spacer. Use lockwasher and flatwashers (item #6,7) as
shown. Tighten securely.
STEP 2: Attach LNB to OMT with 1/4-20 x 1.00” screws, flatwashers, lockwashers
and nuts (item# 8,9,10,11). Tighten securely.
STEP 3: Place the completed feed assembly on the support bracket, with the neck
of the feed horn in the front feed mounting bracket, the back of the
polarizer in the back feed mounting brackets, and the disc on the inside of
the angle. Secure with the top feed mounting bracket (item 12) using [2]
5/16-18 x 1.00” bolts, [2] lockwashers, and [2] 5/16-18 hex nuts (items
14,16,17) at the feed horn, and [2] 5/16-18 x 1.50” bolts, [2] lockwashers,
and [2] 5/16-18 x hex nuts (items 18,16,17) at the polarizer.
STEP 4: Slide the angle against the radio mounting disc. Tighten the 3/8”
hardware to prevent sliding. Install the 5/16-18 x .75” bolts, flatwashers
and lockwashers (item# 13,15,16) from the inside of the angle. Tighten all
feed mounting hardware securely.
