Fig 1. Satellite Antenna Elevation Tip: Typical satellite antenna offsets are Tip: If using a GPS, walk out on the bearing a few times and place a marker on the point where the dish should point Azimuth 3. Fig 2. Satellite Finder Meter Fig 3. Sat Finder Connections 4. NB: LNB skew is not used with circular polarisation. Fig 4. Satellite Antenna Polarisation Fig 5. Antenna Elevation Measurement 5. Tip: Compression test is sometimes refereed to as a 1dB test.
A Carrier Wave CW is transmitted from the remote to find the point where the Tx signal stops being line ar. Troubleshooting I cannot find a Satellite Signal Double check your Azimuth and Elevation calculations again; Do you have a clear line of sight to the satellite?
Make sure there are no buildings, trees, etc. Depending on where the satellite is in the Clarke Belt you will need to go right or left and up and down; You could always mark the starting position or count the number of turns you make so you can always go back to your starting position; If you are using a SCPC sat link then check things like the MODCOD, bitrates, FEC, etc with the distant end.
Make sure the base is rigid and solid. Since this is a stationary device that may be exposed to high winds, make sure it can withstand potentially adverse weather. If you are mounting the dish on the side of your house, check the assembled dish and mounting pole to see if you can rotate the dish in the desired azimuth setting. We do not recommend mounting the dish on the roof unless absolutely necessary.
We also recommend that you consult a building expert for future tips on preventing roof leakage. Tighten the bolts just enough to hold in place see Figure A. Before tightening the bolts, adjust the skew alignment to the 90 degree mark on the Clamp Mount Assembly see Figure C.
Tighten the bolts just enough to hold in place. Position the 2 plastic cable clips packaged with the LNB around the support arm to secure the coax cable s from the LNB to receiver. Determine the direction in which to point the dish. The primary satellite SAT A is located at For dual satellite elliptical dish installation, use the Sat B azimuth, elevation and Skew listings in the dual Satellite Locator chart at the end of this page for the city nearest your location.
There should be no trees, buildings or other obstructions between the dish and the satellite. To ensure an accurate compass reading, stay away from large metal objects.
To double-check accuracy, take multiple readings several feet apart. At the dish install site, hold a compass level and still in the palm of your hand.
Locate the tick mark on the compass edge corresponding to the SAT B azimuth number you wrote down earlier see Figure F. Check any obstructions at that elevation. If there are obstructions, then select an alternate location for the dish. When evaluating the install location, make sure there are no trees , branches or objects visually obstructing the dish and the general direction of the satellite.
Also, keep in mind that trees grow up and outward and may eventually block the signal. How to find true north using the pole star.
Find height of the ground or depth of sea. Deg, min, sec calculator. Instructions: Input your wanted satellite orbit position longitude and your site location. Latitude: 0. Longitude: 0. Please use decimal degrees: e. The default input values shown which you need to overwrite refer to Echostar broadcast satellite at deg west deg east orbit and a site location in Oklahoma City Click to test and see the satellite finder results on the lower two lines.
Help page on dish pointing. The magnetic azimuth bearing angle calculated above is approximate. Offset dish elevation angle explanation. Dish mounting installation and azimuth, elevation and polarisation alignment should be done carefully - don't fall off the roof! I wish you success with your satellite dish antenna install and beam pointing. If you don't know your lat long then these links may help: Australia. Ireland, Scotland, Wales, England.
