WARRANTY

DO NOT DISCARD CONTENTS

The product in this packaging was placed in the market after August 13, 2005. Its components must not be discarded with

normal municipal or household waste.

Contact your local waste disposal agency for recovery, recycling, or disposal instructions.

LAW: Installation and installer must meet local codes and ordinances regarding safety! Installation of this product should be performed only

by a professional installer and is not recommended for consumer Do-It-Yourself installations.

DANGER: WATCH FOR WIRES! Installation of this product near power lines is extremely dangerous and must never be attempted. Installa-

tion of this product near power lines can result in death or serious injury! For your own safety, you must follow these important safety rules.

Failure to follow these rules could result in death or serious injury

1. Perform as many functions as possible on the ground

2. Watch out for overhead power lines. Check the distance to the power lines before starting installation. Stay at least 6 meters (20 feet)

away from all power lines.

3. Do not install antenna or mast assembly on a windy day.

4. If you start to drop antenna or mast assembly, move away from it and let it fall.

5. If any part of the antenna or mast assembly comes in contact with a power line, call your local power company. DO NOT TRY TO

REMOVE IT YOURSELF! They will remove it safely.

6. Make sure that the mast assembly is properly grounded.

WARNING: Assembling dish antennas on windy days is extremely dangerous and must never be attempted. Due to the surface area of the

reector, even slight winds create strong forces. For example, this antenna facing a wind of 32 km/h (20 mph) can undergo forces of

269 N (60 lb). BE PREPARED TO SAFELY HANDLE THESE FORCES AT UNEXPECTED MOMENTS. ATTEMPTING TO ASSEMBLE, MOVE OR

MOUNT A DISH ON WINDY DAYS COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. Skyware Global is not responsible or liable for damage or

injury resulting from antenna installations.

WARNING: Antennas improperly installed or installed to an inadequate structure are very susceptible to wind damage. This damage can

be very serious or even life threatening. The owner and installer assumes full responsibility that the installation is structurally sound to support

all loads (weight, wind and ice) and properly sealed against leaks. Skyware Global will not accept liiability for any damage caused by a

satellite system due to the many unknown variable applications.

Concrete: See “Ground Pole” section for quantity

M10 or #3 Rebar: See “Ground Pole” section for quantity. Deformed steel per ASTM A615, Grade 40 or 60.

SITE SELECTION

The rst and most important consideration when choosing a prospective antenna site is whether or not the area can provide an accept-

able “look angle” at the satellites. A site with a clear, unobstructed view is preferred. Also consider obstruction that may occur in the future

such as the growth of trees. Your antenna site must be selected in advance so that you will be able to receive the strongest signal available.

To avoid obstructions, etc., conduct an on-site survey with a portable antenna. The satellite antenna can be installed on a ground pole,

wall/roof mount, or non-penetrating roof mount with 2-7/8” or 3” outside diameter mast. The chosen mount type should be assembled and

in place before installing the antenna. Refer to instructions packed with mount for its proper installation. The mast pipe must be vertical and

plumb to insure ease of alignment.

As with any other type of construction, a local building permit may be required before installing an antenna. It is the property owner’s

responsibility to obtain any and all permits.

Before any digging is done, information regarding the possibility of underground telephone lines, power lines, storm drains, etc., in the

excavation area should be obtained from the appropriate agency.

Because soils vary widely in composition and load capacity, consult a local professional engineer to determine the appropriate foundation

design and installation procedure. A suggested foundation design with conditions noted is included in this manual for reference purposes

only.

ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION

Installing Az/El Cap Mount Onto Pole

The az/el cap is factory pre assembled. No

assembly is required. Before installing az/el cap

onto pole, installation mount should be in place.

Loosen (3) az/el locking nuts on pipe clamp.

Install az/el cap onto pole. If using 2 7/8”

ground pole, ensure that the inner sleeve is

inserted and that the open side is aligned with

the open side of the pipe clamp (see Bottom

View). If using 3.00” ground pole, remove inner

sleeve on pipe clamp and discard it. Position the

az/el cap in approximate azimuth setting and

equally tighten (3) clamp nuts so that cap is held

stationary on pole, but can be swiveled with

slight pressure. Tighten to approximately

2.7 N-m (2 ft-lb ).

Assembling Reector Onto Az/El Cap Mount

Install four M8 x 60 mm plow bolts into holes in reector face. Lift

reector and insert exposed portion of bolt into holes into Az/El

mount ange. Install 4 lock washers and hex nuts on bolts. Tighten

and torque to 15 N-m (11 ft-lb). Do not over tighten. Overtightening

bolts may damage reector. Press t hole plugs in remaining four

unused holes of the reector.

IMPORTANT: Note orientation of feed leg holes in reector rim. Top of

reector does NOT have feed leg hole.

instruction to assemble feed assembly and outdoor electronics to junction block. Tighten and torque all hardware to junction block and

reector to 5.4 N-m (4 ft-lb). Tighten two screws in junction block socket equally.

Feed Leg Installation

NOTE: Long formed end of side feed leg attaches to the reector rim, short formed end to side of feed support junction block. Assemble

bottom feed leg to bottom of reector rim. From the inside of reector rim, assemble at washer to the M6 x 16 mm hex bolt. Insert bolt

through hole in rim and attach bottom feed leg. Secure with lock washer and hex nut. NOTE: Bottom feed leg is the one with a slight bend

and a lance on one end. It is shorter than the side feed legs.

ANTENNA ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE

Satellite Alignment

Alignment with the satellite is obtained by setting polarization, elevation, and azimuth. Charts are provided in this manual to determine the

values for your earth station antenna site. “ΔL” is the dierence between the earth station antenna site longitude and the satellite longitude.

Use “ΔL” and your earth station latitude to obtain polarization, elevation or azimuth setting.

Polarization of Feed

Loosen feed Horn clamp bolts and turn feed clockwise or counterclockwise,

depending on being east or west of the satellite as shown on Chart 1. For coarse

setting, align marks on the horn scale. Polarization chart assumes antenna system

polarization is transmit vertical and satellite vertical Pol is perpendicular to plane

of geostationary arc. For horizontal transmit of antenna, feed must be rotated 90°

from values shown. (Starting point for polarization adjustment is 0°, as shown. Use

a signal strength measuring device for nal polarization setting and tighten horn

clamp bolts to 5.4 N-m (4 ft-lb).

Elevation - Initial Setting

Use Chart 2 and determine your elevation setting. Loosen

elevation locking bolts, located in curved slots, on both sides.

Turn elevation adjustment bolt clockwise to decrease elevation

or counterclockwise to increase elevation. Position the elevation

alignment arrow with the appropriate mark on the housing at the

desired elevation reading. Scale is in 1 degree increments. This

will be an approximate setting. Snug tighten elevation locking

bolts. (Finger tighten only).

Azimuth - Initial Setting

Refer to the azimuth value determined on

chart 3. Values in chart must be adjusted

for magnetic deviation for your location

for correct compass reading. Rotate the

reector and az/el mount, on the pipe,

pointing it to the compass reading for

your location and satellite. Sweep in

azimuth for signal. If desired signal is not

located, increase or decrease elevation

setting and repeat the azimuth sweep.

Tighten progressively (1/8 turn each) all

three pipe clamp nuts. Repeat until 24

N-m (18 ft-lb) torque is reached.

tightened. Turn the azimuth ne tune bolt clockwise or

counterclockwise for azimuth ne tuning.

Use a signal strength measuring device to obtain

the most accurate alignment and maximum antenna

performance. Alternate between elevation and azimuth

ne tuning to reach maximum signal strength, until

no improvement can be detected. Tighten and torque

all hardware, alternating sequence, until all bolts are

equally torqued to 24 N-m (18 ft-lb).
