IMPORTANT!!!

INSTALLATION OFTHIS PRODUCT SHOULD BE PERFORMED ONLY BY A PROFESSIONAL INSTALLER

AND IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CONSUMER D.I.Y. (DO-IT-YOURSELF) INSTALLATIONS.

DANGER!!!

WATCH FOR WIRES! You can be killed if this product comes near power lines. Installation of

this product near power lines is dangerous. For your own safety, follow these important safety

rules.

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.We recommend you stay a minimum of 6 meters (20 feet) from all power lines.

3. Do not use metal ladders.

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

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

6. 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.

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

WARNING!!!

Assembling dish antennas on windy days can be dangerous. Because of the antenna surface, even

slight winds create strong forces. For example, a 1.0m antenna facing a wind of 32 km/h (20 mph) can

undergo forces of 269 N (60 lbs). Be prepared to safely handle these forces at unexpected moments.

Do not attempt to assemble,move or mount a dish on windy days or serious,even fatal accidents may

occur. Channel Masteris 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 & ice) and

properly sealed against leaks. Channel Master will not accept liability for any damage caused by a

satellite system due to the many unknown variable applications.

PREINSTALLATION MATERIALS CHECKLIST

Grounding Rod Clamp & Grounding Block - As Required by National Electric Code or local codes.

Ground Wire - As Required by National Electric Code or local codes (length required).

Coaxial Cable - Size and length required.

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.

The first and most important consideration when

choosing a prospective antenna site is whether or not the

area can provide an acceptable “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.

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 (see

page 4). To assist in the foundation design, refer to

“Antenna Windloads” in the Appendix “B” on page 15.

ANTENNA ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE

Alignment with the satellite is obtained by setting

polarization, elevation, and azimuth. Charts 1, 2 & 3 are

to determine the values for your earth station antenna

site. “∆L”is the difference between the earth station

antenna site longitude and the satellite longitude. Use

“∆L”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 in Chart 1.Align marks on the horn

clamp and appropriate mark on the horn scale.

Polarization chart assumes antenna system polarization

is Tx vertical and satellite vertical Pol is perpendicular to

plane of geostationary arc. For horizontal Tx of antenna,

feed must be rotated 90˚from values shown. (Starting

point for polarization adjustment is 0˚, as shown in

Figure 3.0).

ELEVATION ADJUSTMENT

Use Chart 2 and determine your elevation setting. Using

a clinometer, adjust the elevation by turning the elevation

screw adjusting nuts until the desired elevation is

obtained. Reference Figure 3.1. Note: Degree values

shown on the clinometer are mechanical; that is

when the reflector face is vertical mechanical

elevation is 90˚ or axis is 0˚, while the beam elevation

(signal) axis is 22.62˚. Therefore as the reflector is

tilted, remember to compensate for the 22.62˚ offset

angle to get the correct beam elevation.

(See Appendix A, Outline Drawing, Page 14). This is

an approximate setting.Optimum setting will be achieved

during the fine tuning.

AZIMUTH

Use Chart 3 and determine your azimuth setting.

Values in chart must be adjusted for magnetic deviation

for your location for correct compass reading.

Equally tighten the six azimuth locking bolts until snug.

This will allow the reflector to rotate with slight resistance

(Ref. Fig. 3.2).

Rotate reflector and mount, pointing to the compass

reading for your location (Ref. Fig. 3.2).

Slowly sweep the reflector in azimuth until signal is

found. If desired signal is not found, increase or

decrease elevation setting and repeat the azimuth

sweep.Tighten locking bolts.

FINE TUNING

Progressively tighten and torque azimuth locking bolts to

75-85 Ft-lbs (108 N-m). The four top plate locking bolts

are pre-torqued to 8-10 ft-lbs. (12 N-m), maintain this

torque until after azimuth is fined tuned.

Use a signal strength measuring device for final adjust-

ments to obtain maximum antenna performance.

Alternate between elevation and azimuth fine tuning to

reach maximum signal strength, until no improvement

can be detected. Gradually tighten (1/8 turn increments

max.) top plate bolts in sequence 1, 3, 4 and 2 to

75 Ft-lbs., refer to Figure 3.2. Observe for maximum

signal strength as elevation screw’s M22 locking nuts are

tighten.

Polarization tune may be checked by carefully and slowly

rotating feed assembly in clamp. When maximum signal

strength is found, gradually tighten clamp bolts (Fig.3.0).

If a signal on the opposite polarity is available, this

signal should be minimized.

Tighten and torque all hardware. Refer to Torque Chart

on Page 2.
