Introduction

Scope and audience

ThisdocumentexplainshowtopointJUPITERsystemantennas.Thisdocumentis

writtenforprofessionalinstallerswhohaveexperiencewithinstallingandpointing

satelliteantennas.

Related instructions

Thispointingguidediscussestheantennapointingonly.Forantennainstallationand

mechanicaladjustmentsontheantenna,seethespecificinstallationguideforthe

antennayouareinstalling.AKa‐bandradioassemblymustbeinstalledwiththe

antennabeforepointing.

Antenna pointing overview

TheantennapointingprocedureisacriticalpartoftheJUPITERantennainstallation

process.Ifthesatelliteantennaisnotproperlypointedtowardthesatellite,itcannot

communicatewiththesatellitetoitsfullcapacity,resultinginadegradationof

systemperformance.

ThebasicrequirementwhenpointingaJUPITERantennaistoaccuratelyaimthe

antennaatthesatellitetowithin0.2dBmaximumlossofreceptionand0.45dB

maximumlossoftransmission.TheJUPITERsystemusesanarrowKa‐bandbeam

whichcanbesensitivetopointingerrors;therefore,itiscriticalthattheantennais

pointedproperlyandaccurately.

Toaccuratelypointtheantenna,followtheproceduresinthismanualexactlyas

theyarewritten.

Theantennapointingprocessisdividedintothreetasks:

•Enteringinstallationparameters

•Pointing

•Registration

Undernormalconditionsandcircumstances,asingleprofessionalinstallercan

performthisprocessalone.

Pointing tools and user interfaces

Antennapointingrequirestheuseofseveraltools,asdescribedinthefollowing

sections.

Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver

UseaGPSreceiver(notsupplied)todeterminetheexactlatitudeandlongitude

coordinatesoftheantennasite.Thesecoordinatesareusedtodeterminethecorrect

azimuthandelevationinformationfortheantennatopointatthesatellite.

YourGPSreceivermustbeaccuratetowithin15m.Mostcommerciallyavailable

receiversmeetthisrequirement.UnitsemployingWide‐AreaAugmentationSystem

(WAAS)technologyprovideaccuracyto3m.

TheGPSmustdisplaylatitudeandlongitudeinformationintheformat

DDMM.mmm

whereDD=degrees,MM=minutes,andmmm=fractionalminutes

Theunitmustdisplayfractionalminutestothreesignificantdigits.

Local User Interface (LUI)

TheLUIisthesatellitemodeminterface.Itisusedtoenterinstallationparameters

requiredforpointingtheantenna.TheLUIalsodisplaysthebeaconsignalstrength

formonitoringpurposes.ToaccesstheLUI,youmustfirstconnectyourlaptoptothe

indoorunit(satellitemodem),thenyouwilluseastandardInternetbrowser

(InternetExplorerversion8orhigher,MozillaFirefox3.6orhigher,andGoogle

Chromeversion17orhigher)tonavigatetotheLUI.SeeEnteringinstallation

parametersonpage11fortheexactprocedure.

Pointing Tools

DiSEqC Antenna Pointing Tool (DAPT2)

TheDAPT2isatwo‐waydigitalsatelliteequipmentcontrol(DiSEqC)tool.Ithasa

largebacklitdisplayandthreebuttonsthatenablestheinstallertostepthroughthe

antennapointingprocedure.TheDAPT2isorangeincolorandithasabuilt‐inaudio

featuretoenhancethepointingprocess.

Figure1:DiSEqCantennapointingtool(DAPT2)

Back(1) Toggle(2) Advance(3)

Figure1showstheDAPT2.

ThethreebuttonsontheDAPT2canservedifferentpurposesduringdifferentphases

ofthepointingprocess.Inmostcases,however,theyfunctionasfollows:

•Back(button1)–Usedtoreturntoapreviousstate

•Toggle(button2)–Usedtochangeaudiolevelandcontrast

•Advance(button3)–Usedtobeginaprocess,proceedtothenextstate,or

respondYestoapromptontheDAPT2display

ThiswillbediscussedinfurtherdetailinChapter2onpage11.

Wireless device

Awirelessrouter(notsupplied)maybeusedintheantennapointingprocess.This

enablestheinstallertopointtheantennausingawirelessdevice(smartphone,

tablet,orlaptop)connectedtothesatellitemodemthroughthewirelessrouter.This

willbediscussedinfurtherdetailinChapter3onpage23.

Entering installation parameters

Aftercompletingphysicalinstallationofthesatellitemodem,connectalaptoptothe

satellitemodemandaccesstheLUIusinganInternetbrowser.Enterthesatelliteand

antennainstallationparameters.Theseparametersinclude:

•Latitudeandlongitudeoftheantennasite

•Satellitename

Afteryousubmittheseparameters,thesatellitemodementersPointingmode.In

thismode,theLUIdisplaysthecalculatedazimuth,elevation,tiltangle,andantenna

polarizationinformationrequiredforcoarsepointingtheantenna. 

Azimuthmeasurementsarecalibratedrelativetotruenorth,notmagnetic

north.

Pointing

Afterenteringtheinstallationparameters,youcanbegintheprocessofpointingthe

antennaatthesatellite.Usingtheproperazimuth,elevation,andtiltcoordinates

obtainedfromtheLUI,youwillpointtheantennainthegeneraldirectionofthe

satellitetoobtaininitialacquisitionofthesatellitesignal.

Donotattempttopointtheantennamanuallybypullingontheantenna

reflectororthefeedsupportarm.Thiscancausepermanentdamagetothe

antennareflector.Insteadusetheantennamechanicaladjustments.



Whenthedemodulatorlocksontothesatellitebeaconsignal,thesignalquality

factor(SQF)ofthereceivedsignal‐to‐noiseratio(SNR)pointingsignalappearsonthe

DAPT2orsmartdevicedisplayasanumericalvaluefrom15to255.Thisvalueisthen

usedtofindthepeaksignallevel.

Afterlocatingthesatellite,youusethefineAz/Eladjustmentmechanismto

fine‐pointtheantennausingtheDAPT2orwirelessdevice.Oncethesignallevelis

peaked,youlocktheantennainposition.

Registration

Aftertheantennahasbeenpointedandpeaked,youcompletetheinstallation

processbyusingtheDAPT2orwirelessdevicetovalidateandrecordthepointing

measurements.
