and

 

loosen

 

the

 

screw

 

that

 

secures

 

the

 

slotted

 

mounting

 

plate

 

with

 

a

 

9/64”

 

Allen

 

wrench

 

and

 

carefully

 

move

 

the

 

pol

 

pot

 

gear

 

out

 

of

 

alignment

 

with

 

the

 

belt

 

(fig.

Align

 

the

 

potentiometer:

 

On

 

the

 

DAC

 

verify

Now

 

rotate

 

the

 

pot

 

sprocket

 

manually

 

until

 

a

 

count

 

of

 

either

 

120

 

for

 

the

 

9597B

 

and

 

9507

 

or

 

130

 

for

 

the

 

6006C

 

and

 

6009C

 

is

 

achieved,

 

depending

 

on

 

your

 

antenna

 

model.

 

Now

 

reinstall

*Note:

 

W

hen

 

re

installing

 

the

are

 

engaged.

 

Once

 

the

 

pot

 

had

 

been

 

installed

 

recheck

 

the

 

pol

 

value

 

and

 

adjust

 

if

 

necessary.

 

Due

 

to

 

the

 

belt/sprocket

 

alignment

 

of

 

the

 

pot

 

the

 

tolerance

 

is

 

+/

‐ 

2

 

degrees

 

so

 

118
