Configuration 1 Installation Process
Resolution
Configuration 1 requires that end user have access to a clean, low humidity, dust free environment to disassemble, rotate, and
reassemble the unit’s Co-Pol TRIA (based on the KACST Pro Portable Polarization Identification Map shown in Figure C-1).
Implementation
End users should perform the following to complete the Pro Portable installation process:
Process 1:
Identifying the point where the installer will deviate from the instructions provided with the unit.
1.
Begin with the “Unpack and Assembly” section of the instructions provided with the unit
2.
Read though the steps and identify the step that specifies the identification of the Co-Pol TRIA and modem
3.
Identify and/or mark the step number, as it will only refer to the unit having a single Co-Pol TRIA
NOTE:
See step 7 of the “Unpack and Assembly” section of the SurfBeam 2 Pro Portable Terminal
manual released in September 2012.
Process 2:
Disassembling, rotating, and reassembling the Co-Pol TRIA.
1.
Perform the steps outlined in the terminal manual until reaching the deviation point identified in the process described
above
2.
Verify the unit has one Co-Pol TRIA with an unmarked Feedhorn (if the unit has two, refer to the Configuration 2
Installation Process section)
3.
Using the provided map, locate the unit’s approximate deployment location (refer to Beam Identification and Co-Pol
TRIA Modification/Selection section)
4.
Identify the circle where the deployment location falls within the circle’s perimeter
5.
Refer to Table C-1 for identifying the correct Polarization and orientation details
