Setting coarse elevation
The antenna pointing procedure begins with the steps described
in this section and continues through the end of this chapter.
Follow the instructions in the order they are presented.
Set the initial (coarse) antenna elevation to the initial elevation
value given by the installation software, as follows:
1. Loosen the two fine elevation adjustment nuts indicated in
Figure 49 so the antenna reflector can move forward and
backward.
2. Loosen the two elevation lockdown
bolts
indicated in
Figure 49, a little at a time, until you can rotate the antenna
reflector forward and backward to adjust the elevation.
3. Set the elevation to the value given by the installation
software.
NOTICE
To avoid damage to the antenna reflector, handle it with care. Do
not use the reflector to rotate the antenna.
