Select location for Reflector Installation with clear view of Satellite (Line Of Sight)

There should not be any partial / future obstruction in LOS like- Tree branches, Sheds,

Growing Tree, Under Construction Building etc.

Pre-cautions

Reflector Installation Location : -

Should be minimum 5 Meters away from Bare Electrical Lines ( Overhead / Side )

Should be easily accessible for Maintenance / Service

Should not be accessible by Children / Pet Animals

Should be such that Rain / Water Drainage from Roof never hit the Reflector

Should not be in the Passage

Should not be in Damp Area

Always Prefer wall Mount option for Reflector Assembly

Never Install Reflector Assembly on Water Tank or wall of the Water Tank

Step 1

Step 1

Also Consider below mentioned points during Site Selection (continued….) Also Consider below mentioned points during Site Selection (continued….)

Minimum 15 cm Distance should be maintained between corner edge of the wall & hole to be drilled Thickness of the Wall should be more than1.5 times of Fastener Length Reflector should never be Installed directly on the Roof

In case of Floor Mounting Reflector Should be installed on the Flat concrete base of below mentioned Specification

50 cm

50 cm

30 cm

Flat Surface

Also Consider below mentioned points during Site Selection (continued….) Also Consider below mentioned points during Site Selection (continued….)

Step 1

Check for conceal electric cables with Line Detector

Minimum 7 cm distance should be maintained between Electric Cable & Hole to be drilled Ensure that Water Line , Gas Pipe, Other Cables / Customer Property does not damage while drilling

Step 1

Cable Length should be minimum from Reflector to STB

Cable Should be routed with minimum number of drill holes

Location selected for STB should have proper air circulation

Select two most suitable locations for Reflector Installation

Take Customer Permission for Reflector Installation at best suitable location

Cable Length should be minimum

Reflector

STB

Always prefer Wall Mount as a Mounting Always prefer Wall Mount as a Mounting optionoption

For Wall mount “Indicated hole” on Foot Mount should be towards ground as shown above

For Floor mount MAST top portion should be in opposite direction of the “Indicated hole” on Foot Mount

Step 2

Align Foot Mount at 90 DegreeAlign Foot Mount at 90 Degree

After Alignment of Foot Mount, Mark 4 holes for drilling

Align Foot Mount at 90 degree with respect to ground by using Spirit level meter

Mark holes for Drilling

Foot Mount should be installed on Flat ( Plane ) surface during Floor Mounting.

Step 3

Step 4

Self Lockable Chuck

Speed variation switch

Take Customer permission before drilling

Clean Drill machine & Drill bits

Set Drilling mode according to Wall

Check Drill bit size according to Bolt diameter

Drill Machine should be in “OFF” mode while selecting mode, inserting Drill bit or adjusting Guide Rod.

Always wear Safety goggle while drilling & blowing dust from hole

Step 4

Hold the drill machine with both hands while drilling

Put forwards the left leg ( for a Right handed Person ) with the right index finger on Speed

Control Switch, Hold the handle with Left Hand – vice versa for Left Handed person

Hold the Drill Machine Horizontally &

Drill hole perpendicular to the Wall

Slowly increase the speed by speed

control switch

Safety Precautions : -

Don’t let drill stop while the bit is still inside the hole

(If the drill is stuck in the hole, reverse the direction of rotation & slowly pull out the drill bit)

Don’t change the rotation direction with the switch while the drill machine is ON

Don’t lean on Drill Machine while drilling

Use Drill Machine with Safety Precautions to avoid injury

Step 4

Drill the hole diagonally & Re-check Foot Mount at 90o before drilling second hole.

Blow the dust from drilled holes

Do not breathe while blowing dust.

Dust

Blower

Ensure the Drill Machine is Switched “OFF” immediately after drilling of holes

Step 5

Fix Plastic Bush inside the hole

Plastic Bushes

Always use Plastic Bush recommended by Company

Step 5

Tighten Bolts diagonally

Check Foot Mount 90o

with respect to ground

Step 6

Nuts & Bolts

Step 7

Keep these bolts slightly loose for Final Elevation alignment

Antenna Bracket + MAST Bracket

Step 8

Always tighten Bolts diagonally

Reflector surface should not deform or damage while handling Reflector

Nuts & Bolts

Step 9

LNBF + LNBF Clamp

Keep these bolts slightly loose for Final SKEW alignment

Step 10

Step 10

Take extreme care while working with LNBF Arm, It should not be Damaged / De-formed

Step 11

Adjust approximate SKEW as per division marking available on LNBF

Clock wise rotation for negative polarisation angle

Rotate LNBF clock wise from LNBF connector for negative (-) Polarisation angle.Rotate LNBF Anti clock wise from LNBF connector for Positive (+) Polarisation angle.

For example : If SKEW angel is “- 23 degree”1 Division = 5 DegreeDivision marking for LNBF rotation = 23 / 5 = 4.6 Align “0” mark of LNBF clamp with approx. 4.6 division (Clockwise) on LNBF.

Step 12

Assemble Reflector Assembly on Mount Assembly

Step 12

Aligning Elevation Aligning Azimuth

The vertical movement of Reflector to track The vertical movement of Reflector to track

the satellite is called Elevation Adjustment.the satellite is called Elevation Adjustment.

Elevation Azimuth

The horizontal movement of Reflector to track The horizontal movement of Reflector to track

the satellite is called Azimuth Adjustment.the satellite is called Azimuth Adjustment.

Step 13

Sat Meter should be switched “OFF” before connecting

First connect service cable with LNBF

After that Connect other end of service cable with Sat Meter

Connecting Service Cable with LNBF Connecting with Sat Meter

Step 14

1-Connect a test cable from LNBF to the hand heldsignal level meter.

2-Swith on the meter confirmthat audio is enabled.

3.Select the desired satelliteon the menu i.e. any of tps of SUN DIRECT TV

5. Approximately try to adjust the azimuth & elevation of the antenna towardsthe direction of the desired satellite, in our case INSAT4B at 93.5degs .

4. A long beep will be heard

Step 14

To counteract Rain fade/ adverse weather condition, Tracking should be done

in such a way to achieve below mentioned parameters for all the Transponders.

MER : More than 12 dB Signal Strength : More than 77dBuV

All the Nut, Bolt & Screws should be properly tightened ( Neither Loose nor Over

tightened ) after Peak Tracking.

The signal Parameters should not change during tightening of Nut, Bolt & Screws

Step 14

After Peak Tracking, Switch “OFF” Sat Meter, remove Service Cable & keep Sat Meter at safe place

After tightening all Nut, Bolt & screws mark the Azimuth & Elevation Adjustment with Permanent marker

Step 15

Tighten all bolts & nuts

Remove the service cable from LNBFconnect the decoder cable - Remember to leave one loop service cable for maintenance.
