Ensure that the Initial DH Frequency is set to the correct frequency. The Initial DH
Frequency is provided by the VAR. If the frequency needs to be changed, select "Initial
DH Frequency" and enter the correct value. Save the changes. The status line should
indicate that the unit is in SYNC (as shown in
4. Screen 2).
5. The unit should in SYNC and the RSSI should be above 20%. If not, the Initial DH
Frequency may be incorrect, or the antenna may have to be realigned. Note that the SDT
5000 must be in SYNC before the antenna angle can be optimized. When the unit is in
SYNC the SDT 5000 is receiving a valid signal from the satellite.
6. Monitor the RSSI on the "Installation" screen, and rotate the antenna slowly in the
azimuth (horizontal) direction. Stop at the point that gives the highest reading. Rotate the
antenna slowly in the elevation (vertical) direction and stop at the point that gives the
highest reading with the bolt hole directly over the nearest one of the two locating holes.
Repeat the horizontal and the elevation aiming until the signal is the maximum reading.
The signal to noise ratio should, in most cases, be above 16 dB. Tighten the bolts on the
pole and antenna bracket.
7. Enter "E <ENTER>" to exit the installation screen. After exiting the installation screen if
the SDT 5000 has never been commissioned, it will automatically commission on the
MDS system. (The unit must be in Sync, and SASK and MUI information must have
been entered by the VAR). The commissioning process typically takes less than a minute.
The Status Line will read "Ready for commissioning" during this time. Once the unit is
commissioned it will display "Operational" on the Status Line.
8. Enter "E <ENTER> to exit the main menu.
9. Enter "D <ENTER> to disconnect from the logon screen. Any pending diagnostic
messages will be displayed.
