Assembling/Adjusting

STEP 4 Antenna on Ground

On even ground, attach dish to the LNB Arm/Antenna Back Assembly as shown. Leave off the Triple-head LNB until the antenna is mounted on the mast and you’ve routed cable through the LNB Arm.

Set Tilt Adjustment

•At the back of the antenna assembly, loosen the Tilt nuts and then set the Tilt adjustment according to the coordinate number you obtained in Step 1.

•Tighten the Tilt nuts. Do not change the Tilt adjustment again from this point on (even if you could not find the satellite signal during alignment). Unlike the Elevation and Azimuth coordinates, there is no need to fine-tune Tilt; doing so may cause alignment difficulty. For some of the Eastern Seaboard states, however, there maybe an exception: see Step 9, note #2, on page 10.

(one shown)

•At the side of the antenna assembly, loosen the two Elevation nuts (one on each side) and preliminarily set the Elevation adjustment, per the coordinate number obtained in Step 1.

•Tighten the Elevation nuts, but not completely. This is a preliminary adjustment, which you may have to fine-tune later on.

STEP 5 Attaching Antenna to Mast

•Slide the back of the antenna assembly onto the top of the mast until it stops at the pivot bolt. If necessary, slightly loosen the two Azimuth/Mast clamp bolts and pivot bolt so the antenna will go on to the mast.

•Tighten the two Azimuth/Mast clamp bolts and the pivot bolt just enough so the antenna has only side-to-side movement (rotational swing around the mast) for later Azimuth alignment in Step 9.

In this example we show for Southern California (ZIP code 92683), the Elevation setting is 50° (use the position of the metal edge to the Elevation scale; do not use the washer or the bolt as reference).
