Tip:
For multi-feed applications the antenna should be aligned
towards the satellite which is transmitting the weakest
signal level.

Aligning the antenna
The antenna must be exactly aligned towards the satellite in
respect of both the direction (azimuth) and also the inclination
(elevation). For multi-feed applications the antenna should be
aligned towards the satellite which is transmitting the weakest
signal.
a) Adjusting the inclination (elevation)
• Use the hexagon key supplied with the parabolic antenna (
)
to slacken the two screws on each side of the inclination scale
(elevation) on the left and right of the clamp.
• Then adjust the
inclination
(elevation) – the exact elevation
angle for your location can be found in the manual for the feed
system (LNB).
• When doing this, retighten
fi
rst just one of the bolts on the
inclination scale
fi
nger-tight.
