Step 6 - Set the Belt Tension
Follow the steps below to set the belt to the
correct belt tension you measured in “Step 2 -
Mark the Current Belt Tension” on page 2.
NOTE: Improper belt tension might impair antenna
performance.
a. Reposition the motor as necessary to achieve
the approximate belt deflection you marked
with a scribe in Step 2c. on page 2. Then
tighten the motor screws to secure the motor
in place.
b. Use the tension meter to verify that the belt
tension is set properly.
c. Repeat Steps a. and b. as required.
d. Reinstall the radome. Then reconnect power
to the Tracvision system and any connected
receivers and/or multiswitch.
The procedure is complete!
