5.4. Balancing the Antenna
The elevation and cross-level motors have a brake mechanism built into them, therefore,
power
must be ON to release the brakes and DishScan®
and antenna drive
must be OFF to balance the
antenna. .
Do NOT remove any of the drive belts
. Balancing is accomplished by adding or
removing balance trim weights at strategic locations to keep the antenna from falling
forward/backward or side to side. The antenna system is not pendulous so 'balanced' is defined as
the antenna remaining at rest when left in any position.
The “
Balance Mode ” selection located on the upper part of the “ Four Quadrant Test ” screen in
the Tools – Test menu page. When enabled, Balance Mode temporarily turns DishScan®, Azimuth,
Elevation and Cross-Level drive OFF. This function is required when trying to balance this antenna
system.
Assure that Antenna power is ON and that the antenna has completed initialization.
At the Computer:
1. Log into the GUI, select Tools - Test in the side bar menus.
2. Select “ Balance Mode ” to enable balance mode. The screen will then show ON & OFF
buttons.
3. Click ON. The screen will temporarily display “Submitting … Please Wait”. When this
message disappears the antenna is in balance mode. DO NOT EXIT THIS SCREEN.
