SATELLITE ALLIGNMENT
Alignment with the satellite is obtained by setting polarization, elevation, and azimuth. Charts are provided in this manual to deter-
mine the values for your earth station antenna site.“ΔL” is the difference between the earth station antenna site longitude and the
satellite longitude. Use “ΔL” and your earth station latitude to obtain polarization, elevation or azimuth setting.
POLARIZATION OF FEED
Refer to the instructions packed with the feed assembly.
ELEVATION - INITIAL SETTING
Use chart 1 and determine your elevation setting. Rotate elevation adjustment nuts until desired elevation is indicated on the
elevation scale plate, quick adjustment can be achieved by taking the weight of theantenna and spinning the adjustment nuts by
