  1. Aligning and Peaking

  2. Introduction In this section we will use a signal level meter to align and peak a single-satellite ODU and a multiple-satellite ODU

  3. Objectives Upon completion of this module, you should be able to: • Align and peak a single-satellite ODU • Align and peak a multiple-satellite ODU

  5. Aligning and Peaking Prior to Aligning: • Clear line of sight • ODU securely mounted • Mast is level and plumb • Elevation is set • Tilt is set

  6. Aligning and Peaking Tools and Materials: • Signal Level Meter • Compass/inclinometer • 3-foot Jumper • Appropriate ODU assembly and adjustment tools

  7. Single-satellite ODU Acquiring a Signal: • Use your compass/inclinometer to point the ODU • Connect the jumper to the LNB and meter • Turn on meter • Peaking is the process of moving the azimuth and elevation by small amounts to achieve the highest overall signal

  8. Single-satellite ODU Signal Level

  9. Single-satellite ODU Unable to Acquire Signal: • Mast is level and plumb • Meter settings • Connections • Line of sight • Call supervisor

  10. Single-satellite ODU Peaking Azimuth

  11. Single-satellite ODU Peaking Elevation

  12. Single-satellite ODU IRD Signal Meter

  13. Single-satellite ODU Exercise #1: Hands-on • Watch the peaking process on an ODU outside • Divide into groups of three • Practice using a compass/inclinometer to verify line of sight • Align and peak the ODU −more than once

  14. Multiple-satellite ODU Acquiring a Signal: • Use your compass to point ODU • Connect the jumper to the LNB and meter • Turn on meter

  15. Multiple-satellite ODU Sweeping Method Azimuth Elevation Tilt

  16. Multiple-sat Meter screen example BirDog Sat Meter screen example Multiple-satellite ODU Peaking Azimuth

  17. Multiple-sat Meter screen example BirDog Sat Meter screen example Multiple-satellite ODU Peaking Elevation

  18. Multiple-sat Meter screen example BirDog Sat Meter screen example Multiple-satellite ODU Peaking Tilt

  19. Multiple-satellite ODU Final Steps: Ensure Peak Signal Strength • Gently push and pull on the reflector dish • Make sure the signal does not vary Azimuth Elevation Tilt

  20. Multiple-satellite ODU Exercise #2: Hands-on • Watch the peaking process on an ODU outside • Re-divide into groups of three • Align and peak the ODU–more than once

  21. Summary You should be able to: • Align and peak a single-satellite ODU • Align and peak a multiple-satellite ODU

  22. Thank you!
