The main parts of the radio assembly are mounted on two circular brackets so they can be rotated, similar to the movement of a cradle, to set the polarization of the feed horn. The arrows in Figure 13 indicate how the radio assembly can be rotated Page Part Small hardware parts listsQuantity Comments1-inchinside diameter O-ring Tool ToolsDetails Hardware sizeChapter Assembling the antennaDetermining the pointing values Fastener General instructions for assembling the antennaMaximum torqueTop view Figure 14 Making sure the mast is plumbSide view Top canister nut 1 of Reflector bracket Az/El mount assemblyAttaching the reflector 4.Partially tighten the screws Figure 18 Attaching feed rods to the reflector Installing the feed support tubeSecuring the feed support tube Tightening the hardware Tighten the hardware as follows Page This chapter includes Installing a J-typeradio assemblyChapter 3.Separate the end of the waveguide from the shim TRIA 4. Remove the horizontal shim and O-ringHorizontal shim in place Vertical shim in place5.Install the vertical shim and O-ringin the same location. Because of its shape and alignment pins on the transmit/receive isolation assembly TRIA, the vertical shim can only be installed in the position shown in Figure 24 upper right photo. Note the position of the alignment pins. Likewise, the horizontal shim can only be installed in one position 8.Insert and tighten the four Allen screws Attaching the upper mounting bracket Installing the radio assemblyO-ring Waveguide transition O-ringgrooveFeed horn Radio assembly TRIAMake sure the O-ringremains in the O-ringgroove See Figure 4.
