Page 4: Site Survey For Antenna Installation
Paradigm Site Survey Investigate the intended installation site for the satellite antenna, and using the azimuth and elevation angles provided by the PIM (see PIM Operators Manual), confirm there are no line- for Antenna of-sight obstructions. Remove any obstructions if possible, or select a new location with a clear Installation line-of-sight to the satellite. -

Paradigm Assembly Process Skew plate Antenna Rear and antenna Bracket rear bracket assembly Skew Plate Locate the skew plate into the antenna rear bracket, with the side stamped “A” facing towards the antenna rear bracket. Place an M8x20 coach bolt through the hole marked “A” and through the corresponding hole marked “A”... -
Page 7: Attach The Az/El Mount
Connect100 Installation Guide Attach the Az/El mount Attach the Az/El mount to the antenna mounting post. Do not secure the clamp at this time, but allow the antenna free movement through azimuth. Referring to the elevation adjustment process on page 11, set the coarse elevation for the satellite antenna. -
Page 8: Attach Boom To Az/El Mount
Paradigm Attach Boom to Az/El mount Boom Arms Slide the boom arms into the antenna rear bracket base, keeping the orientation of the key- slots to the lower outer edge. Secure the boom arms using 5/16” x 3/4” hex bolts, an 8.4mm flat washer and an 8.4mm spring washer. -
Page 9: Mounting The Transceiver
Connect100 Installation Guide Mounting the Transceiver Attach the transceiver to the transceiver mounting bracket using the using 4 x M6x18mm hex- socket bolts. Mount the Transceiver with the Transmit port located on the right (when viewed from rear of transceiver). The transceiver will appear to be upside-down. Tighten using the 5mm hex key. -
Page 10: Attach Antenna Dish To Az/El Mount
Paradigm Attach Antenna dish to Az/El mount Insert an M8x20mm coach bolt through the uppermost hole on the reflector, and loosely attach an M8 nylon insert hex nut. Whilst holding the reflector, locate the bolt into the fork tab at the top of the antenna rear bracket and lower into place. -
Page 11: Antenna Adjustment
Connect100 Installation Guide 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 the PIM Operators Manual for information on using the Outdoor PIM to calculate skew angles and pointing the antenna, or page 16 for calculating the skew when using the Indoor PIM. -
Page 12: Azimuth Adjustment
Paradigm 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 4 x M8 nuts (A) located on the underside of the Az/El Mount Assembly. -

Page 16: Skew Calculation Chart
Paradigm Skew To calculate the required skew angle of the satellite terminal: 1. Confirm the current earth station latitude in degrees on the horizontal axis. Calculation 2. Confirm the correct curve for the delta (Δ) in degrees between the earth station longitude Chart and the satellite longitude. -
Page 17: Elevation Calculation Chart
Connect100 Installation Guide Elevation To calculate the elevation that would incorporate the skew angle of the satellite terminal: 1. Confirm the correct curve for the longitude delta (Δ) calculated for the Skew Calculation. Calculation 2. Find latitude on the horizontal axis. -
Page 18: Azimuth Calculation Chart
Paradigm Azimuth To calculate the azimuth that would incorporate the skew angle of the satellite terminal: 1. Confirm the correct curve for the delta (Δ) calculated for the Skew Calculation. Calculation 2. Find latitude on the horizontal axis. Chart 3. Find where the curve for the calculated delta intersects the latitude value. -
Page 19: Pointing With Skew
Connect100 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.
