Page 6: Skew Adjustment
Paradigm Skew adjustment Referring to the skew angle calculator on page 15 and the skew adjustment process on page 12, set the skew angle for the satellite antenna. Rotate the antenna rear bracket to the calculated skew angle, and tighten the M8 nylon insert hex nuts using the 1/2” ring spanner. Set the Az/El mount elevation to the approximate elevation of the satellite. -
Page 7: Attach The Az/El Mount
Connect70 Installation Guide Attach the Az/El mount Attach the Az/El mount to the antenna mount post. Do not secure the clamp at this time, but allow the antenna free movement through azimuth. Referring to the skew angle calculator on page 15 and the elevation adjustment process on page 12, set the coarse elevation for the satellite antenna. -

Page 12: Antenna Adjustment
Paradigm Antenna Adjustment Skew Adjustment Loosen the 5 nuts on the rear of the skew adjustment plate, and rotate the antenna to the required skew angle. Refer to page 15 to calculate skew angle for pointing the antenna. Elevation Adjustment Loosen the elevation clamping bolts. -
Page 13: Azimuth Adjustment
Connect70 Installation Guide Azimuth Adjustment Coarse azimuth adjustment is performed by rotating the antenna on the mounting pole, and tightening the 3 vertically aligned clamping bolts when a satisfactory coarse azimuth is achieved. For fine azimuth adjustment, slightly loosen off the 3 x M8 nuts (A) located on the underside of the Az/El Mount Assembly. -

Page 19: Pointing With Skew
Connect70 Installation Guide Pointing with Pointing an antenna that has no skew adjustment requires moving the antenna once through azimuth, centring on the peak, and moving the antenna once through elevation and centring Skew on the peak. Pointing an antenna that has skew adjustment applied will require an iterative approach to passing through the elevation at different azimuth values, and calculating the azimuth value where the elevation signal was strongest. - Page 20 Paradigm Communication Systems Ltd.
