5. Set the inclination angle V of the tiltable feed system support
(figure on the right) depending on the antenna location (longitude,
latitude) and the orbital spacing angle of the two outer satellites
(3° or 6°) according to table 9362131. To do so:
–
Loosen the M8 socket-head screw (
①
in Fig. 4).
–
Set the inclination angle.
–
Tighten the M8 socket-head screw.

Aligning the Antenna
1. For alignment to the satellite, connect a suitable signal meter
using a coax cable to one of the outer reception systems,
unless a different reception system is preferred. For selecting
the satellites, see mounting plate manual.
2. Gradually adjust elevation and azimuth until you reach the
best reception.
Setting the inclination (elevation)
–
Use the hexagon key supplied with the parabolic antenna
to slacken the two screws on each side of the inclination
scale (elevation) on the left and right of the clamp (
① i
n
Fig. 5).
–
Then set the
inclination
(elevation). You will find the
exact elevation angle for your location in the feed system
manual (LNB).
–
After this, retighten first one of the bolts on the inclination
scale finger-tight.
Setting the direction (azimuth)
If you yourself are unable whilst performing the adjustments
to read the results of the alignment work on an antenna
meter or screen connected to the satellite receiver, you may
need an assistant for the following steps. The precise align-
ment of the antenna can be achieved only if a digital antenna
meter is used. Ask your dealer about this.
–
Set the satellite receiver to a known channel so that you
can check whether you have really "locked on" to the
desired satellite.
–
Slightly loosen the wing nuts on the mast clip (
① i
n Fig. 6).
–
Turn the antenna so that it faces roughly south.
–
Slowly turn the antenna about its central axis to the
left and right until the best reception is obtained for the
selected channel.
–
Tighten the wing nuts just enough to prevent the antenna
from turning.
