This chapter explains how to install:

• The Az/El and reflector bracket assembly – The Az/El 

mount assembly and reflector bracket assembly are 
pre-assembled for installation as a single unit, as shown in 
Figure 3 on page 10.

• The antenna reflector 
• The feed rods and feed support tube – The feed rods attach 

to the reflector and help support the feed support tube.

Radio installation is covered in Chapter 4 for the J-type radio and 
Chapter 5 for the cradle-type radio.

Topics in this chapter include:

• Determining the pointing values on page 21
• General instructions for assembling the antenna on page 22
• Installing the Az/El and reflector bracket assembly on 

• Attaching the reflector on page 25
• Installing the feed support tube on page 27

Satellite-based commissioning (SBC) is an automated web-based 
method for pointing the antenna. SBC configures the IDU, 
calculates its exact location, and uses the location and other 
information to help you point the antenna. SBC calculates the 
values you use to set the antenna’s azimuth, elevation, and 
polarization, based on the information you enter and the satellite 
you select. It then downloads the necessary software and 
completes the IDU registration process.
