Installation
4.4.2.1 Setting Position Parameters
See Section 5.8 for the location of applicable parameters. Appendix D, Tracking
Tutorial for Operators, may also be useful.
1. From the 7200 ACU command the antenna CW, UP, and POL CW.
2. Observe the Current Position display for increasing angles on each axis (refer to
Figure 2-9). If not, set the corresponding angular transducer parameter to
"REV".
3. Enter the station location parameters (refer to Section 5.8.6.9).
4. Steer the antenna to a satellite with known current position data. Accurately
position the antenna for maximum signal and set the position parameters to
agree with the known satellite look angles (refer to Section 5.8.6.4).
4.4.2.2 Setting Beacon Signal Level and Slope
See Table 5-8, Calibrate Tracking Signal, for additional details.
1. Adjust the antenna for maximum beacon signal level.
2. Select menu item Calibrate Tracking Signal
3. Set the 0 dB point.
3. Move the antenna off the target 3 dB and set the -3 dB point.
The system should now be ready for site acceptance tests; see Appendix F, Site
Test Procedure, for complete test information.
