3.3. Introduction to System Components
The Azimuth Base consists of a rotating platform about a fixed base. The Azimuth Base includes a Bubble Level and
Compass to level and orientate the system. The azimuth angle is controlled by locking the position of the rotating
platform with the Azimuth Adjustment Assembly. The Azimuth Adjustment Assembly can be mounted onto different
locating holes across the Azimuth Base for rough azimuth adjustment and fine tuned with its lock nuts. The Legs attach
onto the Azimuth Base and are secured in place by the Leg Struts. The Reflector mounts atop the Azimuth Base and
is supported by the Azimuth Elevation Assembly.
The Elevation Assembly consists of a telescopic rod connected to a worm gearbox. The Elevation Assembly controls
the angle of the Reflector relative to the Azimuth Base. It is controlled by adjusting the length of the Elevation Assembly.
The elevation movement is mechanically self-locking and can be manually controlled by attaching the Elevation Handle
to the worm gearbox. The upper section of the Elevation Assembly can also be rotated by hand for quick extension and
retraction during assembly and disassembly.
The Feed consists of the horn, duplexer, filter, and LNB. Its main functionality is to isolate the Tx and Rx signals and
adjust the polarization of the system. The polarization angle can be adjusted by rotating the feed by hand and locked
into place by tightening the polarization lock knob. The Feed mounts onto the Boom Assembly, which mounts onto the
Reflector and is supported by the Boom Strut.
Refer to the image below for the location of the system components. Refer to the next page for component labelling on
the Feed, Azimuth Base, and Elevation Assembly. Refer to Section 5.2.1 for more on the Azimuth Adjustment Assembly.
