Fine-tune the azimuth angle.
For the DISH Pro 500+ (Dual Band) LNBF, move the
temporary peaking cable from
Port 2D
to
Port 1F
. For the DISH Pro Plus 500+ LNBF and if
using a meter that is
not
capable of selecting orbits, move the tempoarary peaking cable to
Port 3
. For the DISH Pro Plus 500+ LNBF and if using a meter that is capable of selecting orbits,
continue to the next sentence. With the peaking meter still connected, fine-tune the azimuth angle
(see Figure 8). Loosen the three azimuth bolts enough so that the two azimuth plates can rotate.
Using a 1/2” wrench, rotate the azimuth fine-tune cam to adjust the azimuth angle to achieve
maximum signal, using the 118.7°W satellite and transponder 13. After obtaining maximum
signal, tighten the three azimuth bolts labeled with a T to the recommended torque value given in
Table 1 on page 9.
Do not torque the azimuth fine-tuning cam
.
Note
: You can adjust the azimuth angle three degrees in either direction using the azimuth fine-
tune cam. If the azimuth angle needs to be adjusted more than three degrees, loosen the mast bolts
to make the adjustment.
