1.3.6 Final assembly
1. Mount the reflector again with the four screws on the back of the antenna. Tighten the
screws to torque 12 Nm.
2. Use the Hand crank to manually stow the antenna.
3. When the antenna is completely stowed (rubber bumpers lightly compressed), remove
the Hex L key you inserted before opening the antenna. (See
To prepare the Ka (eTRIA)
antenna on page 1-3).
4. Remount the covers on the sides of the antenna and tighten them to torque 6 Nm.
5. The antenna is now converted to a Ku antenna, but you must do some initial
configuration before you can use the antenna. See the next section.
1.4 To update the configuration to Ku
Before you can use the antenna in the Ku system, you must make the following initial
configuration steps:
• Configure the system to use the Ku feed
•
Create and activate a satellite profile
1.4.1 Configure the system to use the Ku feed
You must send a command to the ACU to let the system know that it now uses the Ku feed
instead of the eTRIA. Note that you must also enter the pol axis zero value, which is found
on the type label on the Polarization unit (called “Cal. value” on the type label).
Do as follows:
1. Power up the ACU and connect your computer to one of the LAN interfaces of the ACU
as described in the EXPLORER 8000 series User & installation manual.
CAUTION! If your antenna has the stow lock mechanism: After
stowing, never try to open the antenna manually again without first
inserting the Hex L key!
Note
Instructions for all setup and configuration tasks are described in the
EXPLORER 8100 installation manual.
