Basic System Alignment
The following sections outline the procedure for setup and alignment of an earth
station. Before you align the ODU, the antenna should be set to the desired azimuth
and elevation settings per the manufacturer’s instructions.
Ensure that the IBUC Tx output power is disabled to prevent accidental transmission
interference with adjacent satellite or transponders before attempting to align or
perform any other operation involving the ODU. Before attempting any signal
changes, carefully evaluate the possible effects of the transmitted signal.
The output of the IBUC is microwave power. Never look into the
waveguide or put your head into the path of the beam that goes to the
satellite.
The IBUC must not transmit until alignment and any necessary
adjustments are complete.
