Understanding safety alert messages Safety alert messages call attention to potential safety hazards and tell you how to avoid them. These messages are identified by the signal words DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, or NOTICE, as illustrated below. To avoid possible property damage, personal injury, or in some cases death, read and comply with all safety alert messages. -
Page 12: Safety Symbols
Safety symbols The generic safety alert symbol calls attention to a potential personal injury hazard. It appears next to the DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION signal words as part of the signal word label. Other symbols may appear next to DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION to indicate a specific type of hazard (for example, fire or electric shock). -

Page 74: Antenna Pointing Overview
Antenna pointing This chapter describes a general procedure for pointing the antenna. The objectives of antenna pointing are to: overview • Locate and detect the satellite signal • Peak the signal to achieve the greatest possible signal strength Correct antenna alignment is critical to the operation of the system. -
Page 75: Peaking The Signal
Peaking the signal Peaking describes the process of achieving the highest possible signal strength available from the satellite. You may achieve the strongest signal strength after just a few adjustments, or you may find that several adjustments are needed. By obtaining the strongest possible signal, you ensure that the IDU can operate at the optimum performance level. -
Page 76: Pointing Tools
Pointing tools Hughes has developed two tools that make antenna pointing easier, faster, and more accurate. Both tools are optional; however, Hughes highly recommends that you use one of them for easier and more accurate antenna pointing. The pointing tools are: •... -
Page 77: Installing The Dapt
Installing the DAPT To install the DAPT, you need: • The DAPT, Hughes P/N 1501471-0002 • A 22 kHz filter, P/N 1500950-0001 • Two short jumper cables To use the DAPT for Ku-band antenna pointing, you must use the filter specified above. -

Page 79: Installing The Opi
Installing the OPI To install the OPI, you need: • The OPI, Hughes P/N 1031393-0002 • A 22 kHz filter, P/N 1500950-0001. • Two short jumper cables To use the OPI for Ku-band antenna pointing, you must use the filter specified above. -
Page 80: Adjusting The Antenna
Adjusting the antenna To point the antenna, you must make three adjustments to the position of the antenna reflector: • Elevation – Adjustment up and down • Tilt angle – Rotational adjustment • Azimuth – Side-to-side adjustment These adjustments are illustrated in Figure 47. The corresponding mechanical adjustments on the antenna are shown in Figure 48. -

Adjustment locations Figure 48 shows the mechanical adjustments for azimuth, elevation, and tilt. All pointing adjustments require a ½-inch on the antenna wrench. Fine elevation adjustment rod Tilt lockdown Fine elevation nuts (4) adjustment nuts Elevation Canister nuts (3). scale Loosen to adjust azimuth. -
Page 82: Setting Coarse Elevation
Setting coarse elevation The antenna pointing procedure begins with the steps described in this section and continues through the end of this chapter. Follow the instructions in the order they are presented. Set the initial (coarse) antenna elevation to the initial elevation value given by the installation software, as follows: 1. -
Page 83: Fine Elevation Adjustment
Fine elevation The fine elevation adjustment rod (shown in Figure 50) allows you to make fine adjustments of the antenna elevation. Where adjustment subsequent instructions call for fine adjustment of the antenna elevation, fine-tune the elevation setting as follows: 1. Make sure the two elevation lockdown bolts are loose enough to allow the reflector to move as indicated by the arrow in Figure 50. -
Page 84: Receive Pointing
Receive pointing Receive pointing peaks the receive signal. You must peak the signal even if the antenna is locked to it. Use either the installation software or one of the two pointing tools (DAPT or OPI) to check the signal strength, then adjust the antenna to peak the signal. - Page 85 To set the antenna tilt to the initial value provided by the installation software, perform the following procedure: 1. Loosen the four tilt lockdown nuts just enough so that you can rotate the antenna reflector. See Figure 51. Do not adjust the center nut on each side, as noted in Figure 51.
-
Page 86: Setting The Azimuth
Setting the azimuth Once you have set the elevation and tilt angle to their initial values, perform the following procedure to set the azimuth to its initial value as specified by the installation software, and adjust it as necessary: To adjust the antenna azimuth: 1. -
Page 87: If You Cannot Detect A Signal
You must allow the IDU enough time to track and register the signal strength. Note: Make small adjustments (not more than inch of azimuth as measured at the mast). Wait 5 sec between adjustments to give the IDU enough time to lock onto the satellite signal. -
Page 88: Peaking The Azimuth Signal
Peaking the azimuth signal Peaking describes the process of achieving the highest possible signal strength available from the satellite. Once you have detected a satellite signal, peak the signal as follows: 1. Mark the current azimuth bearing on the mast with a pencil so that you can find it again later. -
Page 89: Isolating The Transmit Signal
Isolating the transmit To prevent any overlap between the transmit and receive signals, you must use a procedure known as Automated signal Cross-Polarization (ACP) to isolate the transmit signal from the receive signal. ACP test functions are included in the installation software. -
Page 90: Automatic Acp Test
Automatic ACP test Initiate the automatic ACP test using the installation software by selecting the Automatic cross-polarization test. If the automatic ACP test passes and the peak signal strength in maintained to within 3 points on the signal strength scale, the antenna is pointed and ready to be registered. -
Page 91: Final Steps
Final steps Complete the following steps before leaving the installation site. Remove the pointing tool To remove either the DAPT or the OPI: 1. Disconnect the tool and filter, if used. 2.
