Configuration 2 Installation Process
Resolution
Configuration 2 requires two Co-Pol TRIAs (one for each polarization) and allows the end user to assemble the unit with the correct
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:
Identifying the correct 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 two Co-Pol TRIAs: one unmarked and one marked with a striped label located on the Feedhorn just
above the Feedhorn’s base and on the rear of the TRIA housing (refer to Figure C-7) (if the unit has one TRIA, refer to
Configuration 1 Installation Process section)
Figure C-7: TRIA Labeling
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-2 for identifying the correct Polarization and designated Co-Pol TRIA
Table C-2: Configuration 2 – Polarization Identification
