Grounding
Grounding Antenna Feed Cables
1. Ground antenna feed cables in accordance
with current National Electric code and local elec-
tric codes. The illustration shows a typical
grounding method.
Clamps that provide a solid connection between
ground wire and a ground source should be used.
Grounding Non-Penetrating
Mount Frame
(if applicable)
1. Ground the Non-Penetrating mount
frame. The illustration shows a typical
grounding method.
Refer to the NEC Section 810 and local elec-
tric codes for specific instructions on ground-
ing the remaining end of the ground wire.
Antenna Pointing
1) Begin by obtaining the correct Az/El pointing data for the satellite of interest based for your site location.
2) Using an inclinometer or position readout form controller placed on the enclosure drum surface, position the
antenna to the specified elevation angle.
3) Manually scan the antenna (back-and-forth in the azimuth around the direction of the specified azimuth
angle) to achieve the maximum transponder signal.
4) Next repeat the procedure for elevation.
5) Repeat this procedure alternating between the azimuth and elevation until maximum transponder signal is
achieved.
