The Portable Dish is a folding package allowing
it to be very compact in the folded position.
It also enables the user to carrying the folded
package around using the carrying handle (1).
Once the package has been unfolded into the
operation configuration (above in Fig. 2),
it can be set on any flat surface. The Portable
Dish stands on three support points, two (adjustable)
support points are part of the Adjustable
Stands (4) in fornt and one fixed at the back
below the Azimuth Locking Knob. With this
support configuration, the package can be
adjusted to provide a level operating platform
on virtually any surface. In order to point
the dish at Thaicom satellite, the Portable
Dish employs adjustments for azimuth and evelation
as well as a compass to aid in locating the
proper satellite. An experienced user can
usually set up the dish within 10 minutes. |

the dish reflector to prevent it from
dropping forward. FIG 1,2 The two front
stands can be unfolded and extended
to the appropriate position depending
on the actual terrain. |

Next, set the dish package on a level ground.
The more level you can set, the better off
you will be, becuse all the helpful markings
were done in the factory on a level surface.
The dish package stands on three points, the
single support point at the back is fixed,
the front two legs employ adjustable support
points and can be adjusted for proper height
(4) until the spirit level (bubble) centers
itself on the center of the level.
Normally the surfaces of the street, deck
or lawn are adequately level.
If the space you have looks obviously like
a slope then you should adjust the stands
(4) so that the dish does not lean too much
to the left or right. FIG. 7 |

You
should also avoid areas that has a lot of
steel or magnetic fields such as setting the
dish too close to objects such as an automobile,
steel structure, steel reinforcement in the
floor as it Interferes with the operation
of the compass and makes it diffcult to locate
the satellite FIG. 8 |

| FIG.
9 SET STARTING ELEVATION ANGLE (SEE
TABLE 1) |
|
Look
in table I and find the closest city to your
current location. Table I will tell you what
level to set the Portable Dish stand. Set
the scale on the dish stand to the appropriate
value. For example, if you are in Bangkok,
you should set the pointer to point at "10"
on the scale. |
|
|
Swing
the Portable Dish to the right or left until
the North indicator on the compass (on top
of the LNBF) points to the "N"
marking on the floating scale of the compass
(FIG 10)
If you have not made any mistake, there
should be a signal shown in the screen.
Note the signal level on the screen, make
fine adjustment (swing the dish slightly
to the left then to the right) so that the
signal level on the screen is at its maximum
level.
Normally the signal level of over 180
is acceptable, however, we should be able
to obtain 200-240 value easily, and 250
or above if you are really good! |
