Step 2 of 9: With the antenna positioned in Azimuth, with the transponder signal maximized, follow the same procedure as in Step 1, only this time using the Elevation direction (scanning up-and-down). Once again, do this until the transponder signal has been maximized.
Step 3 of 9: Repeat this procedure, alternating between the Azimuth and Elevation excursions of the antenna, until you have peaked the antenna transponder amplitude. Transponder signal amplitude of 30 dB or greater from peak to average noise signal indicates that the
antenna is receiving the signal on the main beam. Transponder signal amplitude of less than 30 dB indicates the antenna is peaking on a side lobe of the main
beam.
Step 4 of 9: If the antenna is peaked on a side lobe in Az or El, move the antenna Azimuth while observing the Spectrum Analyzer screen, as illustrated below in Figure 3-3.
Figure 3-3: Antenna Radiation Pattern Topographical Diagram w/ Plan View
Step 5 of 9: If the signal amplitude diminishes and does not increase (position B) to the level that was noted when the antenna was peaked on a side lobe, then this means that the antenna is moving away from the main beam. Reverse the direction of antenna movement. From the original side lobe position (Position A), the signal amplitude should now diminish to a null point at
Position C (minimum amplitude showing only signal noise) and then symmetrically increase again to the same level at Position D as noted at Position A
At the null point (Position C), the antenna is aligned with the alternate (El) axis. If antenna was peaked on a side lobe in Azimuth, it was appropriately aligned with the El axis (go to Step 6).
If the antenna was peaked on a side lobe in Elevation, it was appropriately aligned with the Az axis (go to Step 6, moving the antenna in Azimuth rather than Elevation).
Step 6 of 9: Move the antenna in Elevation while observing the Spectrum Analyzer screen. If the signal amplitude increases, then decreases, and then increases again (but to a lesser value than the first increase), this means the antenna is moving in the wrong direction. Reverse direction of antenna movement. From the original null point, the signal level should increase and decrease alternately, but with increasing
amplitude until the transponder signal increases to a level of at least 30 dB, at which time it will be on the main beam. Continue to manually peak the signal to a maximum level, using Azimuth and Elevation adjustments.
Step 7 of 9: If antenna is aligned in Azimuth and Elevation (signal maximized) and a total of 24 transponder signals of relatively equal amplitude are NOT noted (12 horizontal + 12 vertical = 24), the Polarization adjustment is set incorrectly and must be modified. If 12 transponder signals are noted, they may or may not be the properly polarized signals. Therefore, 24 transponder signals must be visually noted in order to determine the proper Polarization setting.
Step 8 of 9: Rotate the feed assembly clockwise until 24 transponder signals are noted and of approximately equal amplitude.
OM65_Rev W Page 14 of 26
NOTE: it is more accurate and visually simple to minimize alternate set of transponder signals rather than maximizing the transponder of interest.
Figure 3-4: Polarization at 45 Degrees from Optimum Setting
Step 9 of 9: With all 24 transponder signals of approximately equal amplitude appearing on the Spectrum Analyzer screen, determine the specific antenna system and satellite parameters. Rotate the feed assembly as required until the appropriate (odd or even) transponder signals have been maximized.

3.2 Subreflector Adjustment
After the satellite has been acquired and testing has taken place with the Spectrum Analyzer, the subreflector may need to be adjusted to maximize optimum performance of your antenna. The following procedures should be followed if a subreflector adjustment is required to maximize optimum performance. NOTE: All INTELSAT Type Approved antennas do not require subreflector adjustment.
Before proceeding, the Azimuth and Elevation patterns should be conducted to determine any adjustments that need to be made. The goal is to achieve a high peak on the main lobe and even distances between the main lobe and sidelobes as shown in Figure 3-6. NOTE: No adjustments should be made in the receive band.
If your pattern dictates a need to adjust the Azimuth angle (the left side lobe requires adjustment), the west side of the subreflector should be adjusted outward by loosening the screws on the subreflector and adjusting the left side outward. An easy way to remember this adjustment feature is through the acronym WOLD (West Out, Left Down).
If your pattern dictates a need to adjust the elevation angle (the right sidelobe requires adjustment), the bottom side of the subreflector should be adjusted downward by loosening the screws between the subreflector and the struts and adjusting the bottom side of the subreflector downward. An easy way to remember this adjustment is through the acronym BOLD (Bold Out, Left Down).
Each of these adjustments should be repeated until each sidelobe is of equal distance from the peak of the main lobe.
After the BOLD and WOLD adjustments have been made, it may be necessary to adjust the main lobe. The goal is to achieve a high null depth (distance between lower intersection of side lobes and top of main lobe) as shown in Figure 3-6.
In order to adjust the main lobe pattern characteristics ALL subreflector adjustment screws should be adjusted at the same degree (Note: Because the azimuth and elevation adjustments have been set, it is very important that the null depth adjustment be carefully conducted. Be careful not to alter any previous adjustments that have been made to the subreflector. Follow the procedure listed below when adjusting the null depth of the main lobe.
C-Band feeds – Adjustment screws are 3/4 X 10. Move 1 turn per 1dB of imbalance.
Ku-Band feeds – Adjustment screws are 1/4 X 20. Move 1 turn per 1 dB of imbalance.
All adjustments should be continued until the desired pattern is achieved. Upon completion, the antenna should be properly aligned with the satellite for maximum performance.
3.3 Survival Struts
Survival Struts (ES65PK only) are used when wind speeds are expected to exceed 125 mph (200 km/h). To engage the Survival Struts, move the antenna to 90° Elevation (zenith position), and then engage the Emergency Stop on the NGC IDU or Handheld Controller. Undo the adjustment nuts holding each strut to the enclosure. Swing each strut down into the adjoining slot in the turning head. Tighten the nuts to the turning head block. Torque the nuts to the full effort of one man using a three-foot wrench. After the event, remove struts from the turning head, reattach to the enclosure, disengage the Emergency Stop and return antenna to operation.
NOTE: DO NOT attempt to operate either axes jack while the Survival Struts are engaged or severe damage will occur.

In the absence of any special inspection requirements, operational tests are the most effective means in isolating parts and assemblies requiring further inspection. During inspection, any noted damage and/or problematic condition which could preclude the continuation of proper operation (prior to the next scheduled inspection) should be recorded. These discrepancies should be immediately corrected (either by repair or replacement, as required), or dealt with immediately after the inspection procedure has been completed.
‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ 4.2.1 Local Control/Motor Drive Controller Inspection For details on inspections for the Local Control/Motor Drive Controller, refer to the appropriate antenna control documentation.
‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ 4.2.2 Antenna Inspection Inspection of the antenna generally conforms to standard visual inspection procedures performed on electromechanical equipment. In addition to these procedures, perform the following checks and visual inspections for the specific conditions as noted:
Inspect all wiring and cables, particularly the network-to-enclosure and enclosure-to-mount interfaces, for discolored and/or burned insulation, entry of water/moisture, corrosion, dirt, breaks, secure connections, and any other signs of damage or deterioration. Examine connections for dirt, corrosion, and mechanical defects. Check for loose or broken lacing, as well as cuts, braiding, dry rot, or cracks in insulation
Inspect all connectors for corrosion, broken inserts, and stripped threads. Inspect connector shells, checking for distortion and dents. Inspect contact pins for bends, misalignment, and/or other deformities. Check connector inserts for carbon tracking, burns, or charring, indicating arc-over
Check all electrical components for dirt, cracks, chips, breaks, discoloration, and any other signs of damage or deterioration. Discoloration, blistering, or burns are evidence of overload(s). Measure the actual value(s) of any suspect electrical components (as with a digital multimeter) and compare against value(s) in the product’s specifications
Operate the Azimuth and Elevation drives, as well as the feed rotation (if applicable) in both the plus and minus direction from the local control/motor drive controller at least once every three (3) months during antenna down time. Check to make sure the mechanical Hard Limit switches stop the antenna and feed movement, and limit travel to prevent structural interference and damage. Check the mechanical Hard Limit switches for corrosion and water entry. Check the arm on the feed limit switch for free movement, with no binding or interference. Be certain both of the feed rotation limit switch arms are not distorted and ride centrally on the actuating cam to open their corresponding Hard Limit switch
Inspect the Azimuth and Elevation Jackscrew boots for security of attachment at both ends, checking for abrasions, tears, cuts, dry rot, and other damage that might expose the jackscrew to environmental conditions (rain/water/ice, dust, etc.). Minor repairs can be made by resealing compromised areas with RTV-108 silicone rubber sealant
Visually inspect the feed window for dirt. Check the feed, feed supports, feed window, and reflector for distortion, foreign object damage, and environmental deterioration (due to snow/ice, rain, hail, high winds, etc.). Environmental deterioration can result in damage and/or deformation of both the electrical components and the structure
Check the cable attachment to the resolvers, to the LNA/LNB, and the enclosure-to-mount interface for security. Check the cable routing for secure hanger attachment. Check cable insulation for cuts, cracks, abrasions, and other signs of damage or deterioration. Check LNA/LNB and resolvers for secure mechanical attachments. Ensure there is proper torque in setscrews of Polarization drive gear box, and proper tensioning of corresponding drive chain assembly (if applicable)
If applicable, check that drain holes in bottom of the enclosure and pedestal are not obstructed, and there is no evidence of water accumulation. Check enclosure doors for proper closure. Verify door seals are intact and free of tears, abrasions, and/or other damage. Check that all other seals are intact, and repair with coating of RTV-108 silicone rubber sealant as needed to seal exposed electrical fittings, bolt holes, and/or any other points of possible water entry to electrical components to maintain a waterproof condition.

‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ 4.3.3 Lubrication For long life and trouble-free operation be certain not to extend the lubrication schedule beyond the frequency recommended in the Lubrication Chart. The frequency should be shortened if the antenna is subjected to an adverse environment (e.g., high temperature, extended periods of rainfall, high humidity, dust storms, etc). Any component or part should immediately be lubricated if during inspection or operation, rough, jarring, or intermittent motion is noted, or if squeaky or other unusual noises are heard. Lubrication is required on all metal-to-metal rolling or sliding parts. Us the lubricants recommended. Do not over lubricate. Over lubrication can often be as damaging as under lubrication. Prior to the application of lubricant to any parts, use a clean cloth and/or bristle brush and remove any old lubricant to prevent an excessive build-up. Be certain to remove any protective caps and clean each lubricated fitting prior to injecting fresh grease. The Elevation and Azimuth Jackscrew Assemblies are equipped with a grease fitting and corresponding pipe plug on opposite sides of the jack housing. Remove the appropriate pipe plug and fill with grease until lubricant seeps from the pipe plug opening. Replace and securely tighten pipe plug.
The following is a list of the lubricant characteristics: Lubrication Engineers (LE) 4622: LE4622 is Lithium complex grease. Operating temperature range is -
40 degrees to 400+ degrees Fahrenheit (-40 degrees to 204+ degrees Celsius).
Mobil SHC624: low temperature synthetic oil for worm gear reducers. Operating temperature range is -40 degrees to 125+ degrees Fahrenheit (-40 degrees to 52+ degrees Celsius).
Moly Grease: grease lubricant containing molybdenum disulfide. Operating temperature range is -85 degrees to 300+ degrees Fahrenheit (-29 degrees to 149+ degrees Celsius).
‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ 4.3.4 Lubrication of Jackscrews/Motors Periodically inspect lifting screws on jackscrew ballscrew assemblies to ensure adequate lubrication. Loosen Jackscrew ballscrew boot clamps to expose the lifting screw assembly. Fully extend jackscrew assembly being careful not to exceed preset mechanical limits. Brush thin coating of LE4622 grease on exposed lifting screw. Replace boot and attach corresponding boot clamps. If lifting screw is rusty, remove existing lubricant with solvent and wire brush rusted area. Rinse with solvent and apply fresh grease.
Periodically inspect and remove dust or dirt deposits from the motor housings to avoid hindering the heat exchange with the ambient air. Slight dirt accumulation on the air vent screw through splash oil cannot be avoided; however, keep vent screw clean to ensure proper pressure compensation.
‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ 4.3.5 Lubrication of Gear Motor/Housing Fill Drain Requirements Lube points 1 and 2, shown in the Lubrication Chart (Table 4.1), may require removal of the indicated drain plugs and collecting/measuring the amount of SHC624 drain oil using measuring cup. The specified amount of oil must be added to the gear motor/housing (after installing the drain plug) via the fill/vent plug opening using supplied funnel. Addition of the oil requires use of an appropriate filling utensil. Use of a modified level stick will not correctly gauge the appropriate amount of oil in the gear housings.

* Inspection requires checking for visible signs of leakage. Drain, replace, and add oil to ensure appropriate level requirements. Excessively dirty oil requires replacement with fresh oil. In case of excessive oil leakage, refer to appropriate troubleshooting info. Periodic inspections can be less frequent after the second scheduled inspection is completed without problems. ** Initial oil change requirements include flushing gear boxes with a standard cleaning agent. *** For motors that have no visible drain or fill plugs, no maintenance is required and just a general inspection for oil leakage is needed. *1.
