b) 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 alignment 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 that you have really "locked on" to the desired satellite.
•
Now slightly loosen the wing nuts on the mast clamp.
•
Twist the antenna so that it faces roughly south. Then slowly
twist the antenna about its central axis to left and right until
the best reception is obtained for the selected channel.
•
Then tighten the wing nuts initially just enough to prevent the
antenna turning.
c) Fine adjustment
•
Once again slacken the bolt on the inclination scale and tilt
the antenna lightly upwards and downwards until either the
antenna meter shows the strongest antenna signal or visual
assessment is judged to achieve the best picture: To do this,
tilt the antenna far enough upwards and downwards to get to
the limits when the fi rst "little fi sh" (analogue) or "little blocks"
(digital) appear on the screen. Position the antenna midway
between the two limit points.
•
Now alternately correct the direction (azimuth) and inclination
(elevation) until the measured results or the picture quality
show no further improvement.
Note:
Tightening the nuts at the clamping piece can cause the
antenna to turn slightly! You should allow for this at the
fi ne adjustment stage (and if necessary make use of it
when starting the adjustment operation all over again).
d) Finally tightening the antenna clamps
•
Then tighten the nuts at the clamping piece by hand, working
across diagonals. Then use a 13 AF open-ended spanner to
tighten up each of the wing nuts one turn.
•
After this, tighten the bolts on the left and right of the
clamp of the inclination scale, using the hexagon key
fi rst with the short end to tighten them fi nger-tight and
then with the long end tighten them a further 1/4 - 1/2 turn
(torque wrench: 4 - 5 Nm).
•
Finally check once again that the bolted connections are
secure.
•
Attach the cables to the carrier arm by clipping them into
the cable clips within the carrier arm and use cable ties
to secure them all along the antenna carrier, so that they
cannot chafe and suffer damage in the wind.
