Chapter 3 • Assembling the antenna

1037312-0001 Revision A

Attaching the reflector

Follow these instructions to attach the antenna reflector to the

reflector bracket.

1. Orient the reflector so the HughesNet logo on the front is

near the top, as shown in

Figure 16.

2. Lift the reflector and align the four mounting holes on the

back of the reflector with the four mounting holes on the

reflector bracket. See

Figure 17.

Note: This task is easier if someone assists you.

Note: To make it easier to position the reflector and insert

the screws (steps

2 and 3), you can adjust the elevation of the

Az/El and reflector bracket assembly beyond the 80° mark on

the elevation scale so the surface of the reflector bracket that

attaches to the reflector is nearly horizontal. Then you can lay

the reflector on the bracket, with the holes in the reflector

facing the bracket. This method (not illustrated here) is

especially useful when one person installs the antenna.

To use this method you must loosen the fine elevation

adjustment nuts and elevation lockdown bolts identified in

Figure 48 on page 60. Be sure to tighten the elevation

lockdown bolts before laying the reflector on the bracket.
