- Page 3 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 2 km/h (20 mph) can undergo forces of 269 N (60 lbs.). Be prepared to safely handle these forces at unexpected moments. Do not at- tempt to assemble, move or mount dish on windy days or serious, even fatal accidents may occur.

Refer to the ballast chart for the required ballast to be placed in the Non-Pen Ballast Trays. NOTE: Higher elevation angles can use less ballast. If there are any possible future elevation adjustments that could result in a lower elevation angle use the 22 deg elevation angle from the chart for the ballast requirement! 100cm Ballast Chart...

Adjustment 4. Tighten all mount hardware 5. Patriot recommends the use of cross pol nulling using a spectrum analyzer during TX/RX installations. After tightening the azimuth and elevation hardware, peak the co-pol signal using the spectrum analyzer. Then rotate the feed assemble roughly 90 degrees to obtain a cross pol null. Fine tune the null. The scale on the feed horn can be used with the tick mark on feed holder top or the seam between feed holder top and bottom. - Page 12 Grounding Coaxial Cable (to LNB) Grounding Antenna Feed Cables Ground Block NEC Section 810 1. Ground antenna feed cables in accordance with current National Electric code and local elec- tric codes. The illustration shows a typical grounding method. Ground Wire Clamps that provide a solid connection between NEC Section 810 ground wire and a ground source should be used.

- Page 14 Feed Adjustment (Polarity tuning) 1. Adjust the Feed to the appropriate skew angle using the provided scale reference. Polarity Scale NOTE: Refer to the chart on back for polarization Reading Points angle. Elevation and polarity are both dependent on site azimuth and the difference between satellite and site longitude.
