Paramount GEM User Guide
70 | P a g e
The Paramount base consists of an outer, fixed plate that is mounted to the pier, and an inner rotating
plate on which the mount sits. Adjustments in azimuth are achieved by rotating the Azimuth Adjustment
Knobs at the front of the mount (Figure 32). For a level mount, rotation of this plate does not affect the
altitude of the polar axis.
The altitude axis is held in place using a separate mechanical system that includes the Altitude Adjuster
Thrust Knobs and the Altitude Adjuster For a level mount, adjustments in altitude will not significantly
change the azimuth of the polar axis.
Keystone Modules
Commonly used in wall plates for network and coaxial cabling connections, the L-COM Keystone adapters
on the HA axis panel provide a convenient means to hold and terminate custom through the mount cables.
A variety of low-voltage snap-in connectors are available, including coaxial, RJ45/Ethernet, BNC, USB 3.0
and more.
