Setting coarse elevation

The antenna pointing procedure begins with the steps described
in this section and continues through the end of this chapter.

Follow the instructions in the order they are presented.

Set the initial (coarse) antenna elevation to the initial elevation
value given by the installation software, as follows:

1. Loosen the two fine elevation adjustment nuts indicated in

Figure 49 so the antenna reflector can move forward and
backward.

2. Loosen the two elevation lockdown

bolts

indicated in

Figure 49, a little at a time, until you can rotate the antenna
reflector forward and backward to adjust the elevation.

3. Set the elevation to the value given by the installation

software.

Note:

Do not tighten the elevation lockdown bolts yet

because you will be adjusting elevation further, as explained
in Fine elevation adjustment on page 62.
