6. Aligning the antenna
With regard to the direction (Azimuth) and the inclination
(Elevation), the antenna must be accurately aligned to
the satellite. For multifeed reception it is necessary to
align the antenna to the satelltie with the weaker signal
level.
a) Setting the inclination (Elevation)
Loosen the screws on the elevation scale – the one on
the left as well as the one on the right of the mast
bracket!
Attention! Do not loosen the nuts on the upper part of
the mast bracket – these nuts have been tightened
with a fixed torque in the factory.
Now set the elevation – You find the correct angle of
the elevation in the mounting instructions supplied
with the feed system. If you do not know the angle,
first set the elevation initially to about 30°.
Hand-tighten just one of the two screws on the
elevation scale.
b) Setting the direction (Azimuth)
For the following steps you need an assistant if you can-
not operate an antenna measuring instrument nor watch
on your television set which you have connected to a sa-
tellite receiver the result of your alignment work.
Select on your satellite receiver a programme well
known in order to make sure you have aligned to the
desired satellite.
Slacken the wing nuts on the mast bracket just
slightly.
... and turn the antenna roughly towards the south.
Then slowly turn the antenna around the mast axle –
to the left and then to the right, until you obtain the
best picture for the chosen programme.
Next tighten the wing nuts, but only to the extent that
the antenna cannot turn.
