Once the leg is released, swing the leg out
to u
nfold
i
t.
4
Unscrew the feet to remove them from the
baseband unit.
Note: There are two feet (two by each leg),
stored per side.
5
Screw the feet onto each end of the legs
with the flat side towards the ground.
6
Screw feet onto the back of
the baseband.
54
7
Unfold the supporting arm
by unscrewing it
.
8
Slide the supporting arm handle into hole
on leg.
9
Tighten the thumb screw
.
Note: Repeat steps 2 to 9 for the second
leg.
10
For rapid
foot
height adjustments
, p
ush
the
lockin
g
button
in, (located at the end of the
leg), and make your adjustment
.
11
For fine adjustments in
level
ing
the unit, turn
the handle.
Note: The rear legs are also adjustable by
turning the legs that hold the feet.
55
Level the Baseb
and U
nit
Look at the Spirit Level (on top of baseband
towards the back) to ensure the unit is leveled.
The two longest cables should be laid towards
the front (extended “long” legs are towards the
front) of the baseband unit. The three shorter
cables sh
ould be laid towards the back of the
baseband unit.
Assembling t
he Main Antenna Unit
1
From the other backpack, u
npack the main
antenna unit which houses the transmitter
and elevation assembly.
2
Flip
the supporting legs, at both ends of the
main antenna unit, down and i
nsert the right
and left
legs of the
back plate
guide pin
s
into
the corresponding holes on the
azimuth
plate
on the baseband unit.
3
Guide pins should fit into guide holes on th
e
azimuth plate.
Hint: If you are having difficulty fitting the
guide pins, gently maneuver the main
antenna unit from side to side for easy fit.
56
4
Secure the left and right back plate supports
using thumb screws.
5
Thread
the elevation
rod (clockwise)
into
the elevation top axle assembly.
Hint: You can thread using either the rod or
the black plastic manual adjust wheel at the
base of the elevation rod.
Note: Two inches should be exposed from
the top of the elevation top axle assem
bly.
6
Insert the elevation assembly unit into
the
azimuth plate.
Note: The rounded side of the elevation
assembly support should point towards the
center of the azimuth plate as shown.
57
7
Secure the elevation assembly unit
with the
th
umb screws.
Assembling the Main Antenna S
egments
The next section outlines the assembly of the
remaining five
main antenna segments
to the main antenna unit. The antenna segments can be found in the backpacks
labeled and numbered in the ord
er they are meant to be attached.
Segments are numbered in the sequence in which they should be assembled as
follows:
•
Segment 2:
attaches to the
bottom left
of the main antenna unit
•
Segment 3:
attaches to the
bottom right
of the main antenna unit
•
S
egment 4:
attaches to the
top center
of the main antenna unit
•
Segment 5:
attaches to the
top left
of the main antenna unit
•
Segment 6:
attaches to the
top right
of the main antenna unit
Illustrations
and instructions on how to attach
each of the five
main antenna
segments
are described on the following pages
.
Hint: The segments should be loosely attached at first so that all segments can be fitted.
Once all fitted, all the segment’s butterfly screws can be tightened (but not over
tightened).

You have
successfully
completed the assembly of the
main antenna unit.
Th
e next section describes how to
assemble the boom arm
and feed assembly
.
Caution: DO NOT over tighten the butterfly latches as
it may damage the antenna.
60
Assembling the Boom Arm a
nd Feed Assembly
1
Insert the lower boom arm into the
main
antenna assembly.
Hint: Use the pin
-
guide at the base of the
lower boom arm t
o align it to the front of
the antenna assembly.
2
Secure the boom arm
by tightening ring
.
Note: The plastic cable clips on the
underside of the boom arm should be facing
the ground.
3
Insert the upper boom arm which
includes
the feed assembly.
4
Secure the boom arm
using quick release
latches.
Hint: Engage both latches loosely and apply
tension to both latches at the same time.
61
5
Remove the protective
plastic
covers
from
the feed assembly
(a)
.
6
Rotate the polarization assembl
y so that
it is pointing directly up (b). You will
need to rotate it 180° from the stowed
position.
Note: Store the protective covers in the
backpack. They will need to be
reapplied upon disassembly.

Additional compone
nts can be attached to the feed assembly at three interfaces:
INTERFACE 1
:
Receive (Rx) Output
Connects to the Low Noise Block (LNB).
Refer to the section titled “Attaching the Low Noise Block
to the Feed Assembly”
on page 62
.
INTERFACE 2
:
Transmit (Tx
) Input
Connects to an end of the flexible waveguide.
Refer to the section titled “Connecting the Waveguide to
the Feed Assembly”
on page 63
.
INTERFACE 3
:
Transmit (Tx) Output
Connects to the other end of the flexible waveguide.
Refer to the section tit
led “Connecting the Waveguide to
the Feed Assembly”
on page 63.
RF Terminator is also connected here during system
testing and troubleshooting.

At
taching the Low Noise Block to t
he Feed Assembly
1
Select the LNB that is appropriate for the
region of deployment:
North America = 1000HA
Europe = 1000HB
Asia = 1000HC
2
Remove the
protective cover from the
LNB.
Note: Store the protective plastic covers in
the backpack. They will need to be
r
eapplied upon disassembly.
3
Attach the LNB to the top region of
the feed
assembly using the thumb
screws.
