Calibrating Azimuth
One of the
problems in locating a satellite signal has been that the dish
does not have a gauge that allows the LNB to be set to a given
azimuth reading.
This stand has solved that problem with
its own azimuth settings. However, before the new azimuth
compass can be used, it needs the dish and azimuth gauge to be
calibrated. This will key the dish to the stand’s azimuth
reading.
With the stand’s compass set to a magnetic north,
the correct azimuth starting point can be set for any given
zip code.
Set the azimuth and lock the azimuth base to the
stand. When aiming the LNB for the first time, loosen the
clamp on the dish, allowing it to slip on the post. After the
strongest signal is reached, the clamp is tightened to the
post, allowing the post to become part of the
dish.
