Super Buddy Meter
ASL Peaking
SWiM Integrated LNB Peaking:
Note: Use instructions in the Meter Setup section for peaking of the SWiM-ODU
DO NOT CONNECT ANY IRD to the SWiM Integrated LNB BEFORE OR DURING
THE PEAKING PROCESS
1) Be sure the mast is plumb and the foot plate is secure to an approved
mounting surface.
2) Obtain the azimuth, elevation and tilt settings from the DIRECTV
receiver or the Super Buddy zip code screen.
3) Preset the antenna tilt and elevation to the settings obtained.
4) Apply power to the SWiM LNB using the power inserter as the diagram
outlines. (When power is applied, and before any receivers are
connected, the SWiM Integrated LNB will enter a diagnostic mode that
is required for the alignment procedure.)
5) Connect the Super Buddy to the 101 port of the ASL unit. Press the LNB
button once to select LNB1 and the 101 West satellite. The Super Buddy
will tune to a SWiM Integrated LNB 101 west channel.
6) Adjust the antenna's azimuth to obtain a signal lock and peak the signal
level on your left bar graph. If you cannot obtain a lock, just peak the signal
level and try to obtain the lock in the next step.
7) Now adjust the elevation to obtain the peak signal level and a signal
lock.
8) At this point, you should be ROUGHLY aligned to 101 West. The SWiM
Integrated LNB is not compatible with the Super Buddy's satellite ID
feature, but the signal lock status indicates that you are pointed at 101.
Note: Use the LNB button on the main screen to turn on LNB 1 (101° west)
or
LNB 2 (119° west) during the peaking process.
You can now follow the KaKu dithering process as outlined in the

KaKu Dithering procedures

Note: You will have to disconnect the cable from the 101° port on the ASL and connect to
the 119° port on the ASL during the tilt adjustment step of the dithering process
