The

 

rotation

 

of

 

the

 

pol

 

pot

 

consists

 

of

 

3

 

complete

 

revolutions.

 

When

 

installing

 

the

 

pot

 

it’s

 

good

 

practice

 

to

 

set

 

it

 

in

 

the

 

center

 

of

 

its

 

range

 

(1.5

 

turns

 

from

 

one

 

of

 

its

 

end

 

stops)

 

while

 

aligning

 

the

 

feed

 

in

 

the

 

centre

 

of

 

its

 

range

 

(so

 

that

 

the

 

LNB

 

is

 

horizontal

 

with

 

the

 

coax

 

cable

 

pointing

 

towards

 

the

 

left).

 

This

 

means

 

the

 

calibration

 

of

 

the

 

pot

 

will

 

only

 

require

 

minimal

 

adjustment

 

and

 

prevent

 

damage

 

to

 

the

 

assembly

 

by

 

allowing

 

it

 

to

 

drive

 

into

 

one

 

of

 

its

 

mechanical

 

end

 

stops

 

(which

 

is

 

possible

 

if

 

there

 

is

 

a

 

large

 

amount

 

of

 

error

 

in

 

the

 

pot

 

alignment).

     

 

 

6.

 

Install

 

the

 

replacement

 

pot

 

assembly

 

onto

 

the

 

feed

 

by

 

looping

 

the

 

pulley

 

through

 

the

 

belt.

 

Then

 

install

 

the

 

flat

 

washer,

 

followed

 

by

 

the

 

star

 

washer

 

onto

 

the

 

retaining

 

screw

 

and

 

apply

 

Loctite

 

242

 

to

 

the

 

thread.

 

Pull

 

down

 

on

 

the

 

assembly

 

to

 

tension

 

the

 

belt

 

and

 

tighten

 

the

 

retaining

 

screw.

  

*Note:

 

Additional

 

mounting

 

hardware

 

is

 

provided

 

in

 

the

 

kit

 

should

 

it

 

be

 

required.

  

 

 

 

 

7.

 

Verify

 

the

 

tension

 

of

 

the

 

belt

 

by

 

pressing

 

on

 

it

 

at

 

the

 

central

 

position

 

between

 

the

 

pol

 

pot

 

pulley

 

and

 

the

 

main

 

drive

 

sprocket.

 

There

 

should

 

be

 

a

 

little

 

give,

 

but

 

the

 

belt

 

should

 

be

 

tight

 

enough

 

that

 

the

 

axis

 

will

 

drive

 

correctly,

 

without

 

skipping

 

on

 

the

 

teeth

 

of

 

the

 

pulley.

    

If

 

the

 

belt

 

is

 

too

 

tight/loose

 

repeat

 

the

 

previous

 

step

 

until

 

the

 

belt

 

tension

 

is

 

correct.

  

 

 

8.

 

Install

 

the

 

pol

 

pots

 

harness

 

connection

 

into

 

its

 

mounting

 

point

 

and

 

connect

 

the

 

reflector

 

harness

 

to

 

the

 

pol

 

pot

 

connector.

 

9.

 

Refer

 

to

 

the

 

following

 

calibration

 

procedure

 

to

 

align

 

the

 

potentiometer.
