We recommend that the site survey De performed by qualified person- nel to ensure proper antenna location and to test for microwave interference. 2 Read the instructions thoroughly prior to assembly so that you may become more familiar with our method of instal lation 3. Please keep this assembly instruc tion manual for future reference. The Information below and inside this manual will help you when ordering replacement parts and with questions you may have about your antenna THIS INSTALLATION SHOULD BE MADE BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON AND SHOULD CONFORM TO ALL LO- CAL CODES. MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION: The condition of your antenna should be checked at least once a year and after severe weather conditions. Replace or tighten any loose or missing hardware. watch for signs of rust on steel comp: nents and provide proper protection. In- spect weather protection for clecironics and motor drive. The main gear teeth and the chain should be greased annually with automotive wheel-bearing grease. The grease zerk on the main geer shaft should receive four to six pumps of lithium-based general purpose chassis grease from a grease gun. Check site location for any obstruction to movement of antenna and clear branches, etc, as needed. ANTENNA SHOULD BE PLACED IN A STOWED POSITION FOR HEAVY STORMS, SNOW OR LONG UNAT- TENDED PERIODS OF TIME. THE STOWED POSITION IS WITH THE AN- TENNA POINTED AT EITHER HORI- ZON. Piease fill out warranty card provided and return to Paraclipse.

Set antenna elevation. The elevation will vary with the latitude of your location Use the Declination & Elevation Chart as a guideline. 2. It is necessary to search for the most southerly satellite from your location. Re- fer to a “Satellite Guide" or consuit your nearest dealer Begin with the antenna pointed in a southerly direction [for antenna location sites in northern hemisphere] or northerly direction (For antenna sites in southern hemi- sphere]. To begin searching, turn your receiver on to scan-tune (if your receiver is Mot so equipped, have someone siowly tune the receiver through the transpon- ders}. Next, turn the antenna slightly in the direction of the satellite. 3. Systematically search for the satel- lite by making one-turn-at-a-time adjust- ments of the threaded elevation adjusting rod. With each adjustment of elevation. siowly swing the antenna using the motor drive from east to west. while looking for a signal on your television. NOTE: If no signal can be found, recheck the antenna elevation/deciination, north-south alignment and plumb of mount if no probiem is found with the mechanical alignment. consult the owner's manual for your receiver or call your local dealer. 4. When you find your first satellite, turn off the scan-tune and adjust to an active transponder [channel] 5. Carefully adjust elevation and azi- muth to maximum signal strength using the signal strength meter on your receiver: or. if available, use a digital or analog voit- ohm meter [VOM]. You may also adjust visuaily by observing your television for the best picture 6. Turn on scan-tune once again and swing antenna, using the motor drive while (ooking for other satellites. If no other satellites are “visible,” or you can not re~ ceive ail the satellites (and your signal path is not blocked]. the mount is not aligned to true north/south 7. North/south alignment: NOT If installation is located east of 105° W longitude, reverse all “west/east" and "raise/ lower” references a} Swing antenna to the most westerly satellite and adjust azimuth and cievation for absolute maximum signal. Swing an- tenna to the most easterly satellite and do same.

While observing a signal strength meter or watching the television picture, retighten ali nuts and boits on the mount firmly to ensure that the signal remains at maximum. Recheck antenna tracking from west to east to make sure the mount has not moved. Your PARACLIPSE antenna is now aligned to track the Clarke orbit belt. Therefore. complete your wiring to the television viewing location per instructions provided with your receiver. FINAL STEPS 4. Run antenna to each limit switch and bend limit switch biade to obtain desired stopping point. {One limit may be increased to get best snow-dumping position} 2. Drill ?/e" hole in poie, using the existing hole in the clamp assembly for guide. Drive one 2/s" lock pin into hole to secure the clamp assembly 3. Connect final wiring as follows: a.) Motor wires to terminals one and wo. Bb.) “Sensor” or “Pulse” wire to terminal three .) “Shieid" or "Drain” wire to terminal four. d) “Ground” wire to terminal five. 4. Check cable routing to prevent bind- ing or pinching as antenna moves across arc. 5. Install weather covers and seal overlapping edges with RTV silicone. 6.
