6m Parabolic Antenna Installation Manual

SM206.FTY.004

NOTE:

Before antenna installation please read this manual carefully.

It is for the 0.6m high performance antenna. Antenna installation requires qualified, professional personnel to operate, strictly based on the requirements of the installation manual. During antenna working course, in order to ensure optimum status of antenna, professional personnel should perform inspection and maintenance periodically (once a year).

5 Final Inspection after Antenna Installation

5.1 After antenna installation, please confirm that every standard accessory is locked, whose torques can get reference from Section 1.3. 5.2 Make sure that the two drain holes are blocked by two plugs on top of antenna, and the two leaking holes on bottom of antenna are open.

1 Preparation for Antenna Installation

1.1 Antenna Installation Condition
Antenna could be mounted to diameter of 51114mm vertical mounting pipe (prepared by user).

1.2 Preparation of Antenna Installation Tools

Wrench (for bolts M10-M12) Allen wrench (for bolts M10 and M6) Crossed screwdriver (for screws M4-M5) Torque wrench (recommended)

1.3 Standard Accessory Torque

With regards to the torque set during the antenna assembly process, supplier suggests:

1.4 Inspection of Antenna Accessories
Please open the antenna packing case and inspect antenna accessories, see figure 1.

4 Antenna Adjustment
4.1.3 Fine azimuth adjustment: appropriately loosen top and bottom fixed bolts on the azimuth axis and two nuts of fine adjusting bolt and bolts, and then move adjusting nut slowly forward and backward to make the antenna fine adjusted. Then lock the above standard accessories. The range of fine

adjustment is 15.

4.2 Elevation Adjustment

Fine elevation adjustment: appropriately loosen top and bottom connecting bolts between antenna and hanging bracket, rotate elevation adjusting bolt to make the antenna elevation adjusted. Then lock the above standard accessories. The range is 15, see figure 22.

4 Antenna Adjustment
This section describes how to adjust antenna azimuth and elevation by using hanging bracket. Take the antenna right installation for example, and adjustment method of left adjustment is as the same. 4.1 Azimuth Adjustment 4.1.1 Large-scale azimuth adjustment: appropriately loosen four nuts on the clamp of the antenna hanging bracket, as shown in figure 21. Rotate antenna softly with human force, then the antenna can be revolved 360around the mounting pipe. 4.1.2 Azimuth coarse adjustment: if opposite antenna can be reached by eyes, we will apply eyeballing to determine coarse azimuth. Conversely, if opposite antenna can not be reached by eyes, we will use a compass, according to circuit design, to confirm coarse azimuth, and then lock part.

2 Antenna Installation
2.1 Hanging Bracket Assembly 2.1.1 Loose the bolt on the azimuth adjustable screw, and move spring washers and flat washers, see figure 2. Hanging bracket is assembled as instructed in figure 3 when leaving factory. Fix the screw to the hanging bracket, see figure 3. Loose the two M1040 bolts, rotate the hanging bracket azimuth adjustable pedestal, and then remove a nut and a flat washer on the azimuth adjustable screw, see figure 4. The nut and move spring washers and flat washers will be used in Section 2.1.2.

Figure 2 Figure 3 Figures 4

2.1.2 Insert the azimuth adjustable screw into the hole of hanging bracket, install the nut and move spring washers and flat washers mentioned in Section 2.1.1, see figure 5. Adjust the two nuts on the azimuth adjustable screw, with the distance stretched out of 70mm-80mm. Finally lock the two nuts and two M1040 bolts.

2.1.3 Please loose the nuts, spring washers and flat washers on the four M10 120 bolts, and insert them into the holes on the azimuth adjustable pedestal.The nuts, flat washers, and spring washers will be used in Section 2.4.

3 Antenna Polarization Adjustment

3.1 Two kinds of antenna polarization are available: vertical polarization and horizontal polarization. Select one of the two polarizations based on circuit design as starting antenna installation. This section introduces how to change antenna polarization. 3.2 Antenna polarization is vertical at leaving factory. Under this circumstance, the red polarized mark (or polarized mark line) on feeder is even to the vertical polarization mark V on antenna, see figure 19. If horizontal polarization is applied, please loosen appropriately the impacted screws on pressing blocks of feeder, rotate feeder clockwise or anti-clockwise, and then even out polarized mark to horizontal polarization mark line H, see figure 20. Figure 6

2.1.4 If the left installation (see figure 9) of hanging bracket is chosen, please move the elevation adjusting bolt, and install it at the symmetrical position. This procedure is not needed in the right installation (see figure 8).

The output and shape of the real feeder may be different with

that shown in the drawing, according to the difference of antenna types. But feeder Polarization Adjustment will not be affected.

2.3 Anti-fall Clamp Installation
To ensure the safety during the processes of antenna installation and adjustment, user should install the anti-fall clamp before the antenna installation. 2.3.1 Loosen the two bolts M695 of the anti-fall clamp, see figure 10.

2 Antenna Installation
2.5.3.2 Select connecting holes 1 and 4, and the antenna elevation angle is set at 10 up, see figure 17. The range is +25 -5.

Figure 10 2.3.2 Fix the anti-fall clamp to the51-114mounting pipe by using two bolts M695.

2.5 Antenna Installation
Only antenna right installation is introduced herein. The left installation is similar to the right installation. 2.5.1 In order to make antenna installation easier, please before hoisting install one of the two bolts M10X40 to the antenna, keeping the distance of 20mm, and another one on standby, as instructed in figure 14.
