Part 5: Antenna Pointing
Step 30:
Scan the Azimuth by slowly swinging the
antenna from left to right and then stop when the
Heartbeat Tone is replaced by a Beep Tone
(interrupted tone), confirmed by a transitioning
melody
Step 31:
Fix the Antenna by tightening the
4 locking
nuts #7-10
(fig. 1) on the 2 clamps holding the pole
Step 32:
Fine pointing Azimuth (fig. 15):
- Rotate
Azimuth bolt #4
(fig. 1) in any direction until the
audio tone drops in tone a first time
-
Reverse the direction until a continuous tone is achieved
and continue in the same direction until the audio tone
drops a second time
- Reverse the direction again and stop when a 2nd
continuous tone is achieved
Step 33:
Fine pointing Elevation (fig. 15):
Repeat the same procedure of Step 32 with the
Elevation
bolt #1
(fig. 1) instead of the azimuth bolt
Step 34:
Fine pointing Azimuth a 2nd time (fig. 15):
Repeat again Step 32
Step 35:
Lock off the 2 azimuth locking nuts
#5
&
#6
(fig. 1)
Step 36:
Lock off the 2 elevation locking nuts
#2
&
#3
(fig. 1)
Step 37:
Check the antenna pointing by gently
pushing and pulling at the top/bottom & left/right
Step 38:
Check on the modem page ‘Step 2/3 - Dish
Pointing’ (fig. 16) that the carrier is locked with a
green arrow
and verify signal levels
