Setup – Calibrating Targeting
In this chapter you will learn how to optimize the targeting of the antenna to taget on or near a desired satellite (/-1
degree).
9.1.
AUTO TRIM
The Auto Trim function will automatically calculate and set the required Azimuth and Elevation trim offset parameters
required to properly calibrate the antennas display to the mechanical angle of the antenna itself, while peaked ON
satellite.
NOTE: The AUTO TRIM feature is NOT allowed unless all of these conditions are met:
•
The antenna must be actively tracking a satellite (AGC above threshold) AND
•
The antenna must have positive SAT ID (RX lock received from the Satellite
Modem) AND
•
The elevation angle of the antenna must be LESS than 75 degrees AND
•
The antenna must NOT be set for Inclined Orbit Search.
After locating the satellite, with Tracking ON, wait at least 30 seconds before performing the AUTO TRIM feature, this
will allow sufficient time for the antenna to peak up on signal. It is equally important that you verify that the system is
tracking the CORRECT satellite (verify a RX lock indication on the satellite modem). If Auto Trim cannot be used,
please refer to the next section to manually calibrate targeting.
