    Solante S-ODU Model NGN-8100 Users Guide 4.4.13 Adjusting Polarization Angle (Nulling out the Cross-pol) Polarization adjustment should ALWAYS be performed by nulling out a carrier on the opposite polarity. Slight polarization changes when measuring the TDM or DVB carriers’ Signal/Noise levels will not result in accurate polarization fine-tuning.

    Solante S-ODU Model NGN-8100 Users Guide or Satellite NCC may request a re-verification of this by having the installer put the S-ODU into CW mode and perform the cross-pol adjustment live, over the phone. Prior to nulling out the cross-pol, adjust the feed horn’s polarization to achieve the best possible Rx Eb/No. Generally, there will be a wide range of polarization angles (5~15 degrees) that will result in Eb/No readings within 1dB of max.

    Some sealant tapes are not 100% resistant to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. For these types of sealant tapes STM recommends applying a second wrap of UV resistant, all-weather, vinyl tape. Apply this second tape in much the same fashion as the sealant tape. If any of the tape layers threatens to come loose due to a weak adhesive, a UV resistant cable tie may be applied to hold the tape in place.
  • Page 107 Solante S-ODU Model NGN-8100 Users Guide All coax and IFL (Inter Facility Link) cables should be tie-wrapped with approved UV resistant cable ties for a clean looking installation. As a courtesy to the customer, pick up any cut cable ties and other trash for disposal.
