Understanding safety alert messages

1039429-0001 Revision D

Understanding safety alert messages

Safety alert messages call attention to potential safety hazards and tell you how to

avoid them. These messages are identified by the signal words DANGER, WARNING,

CAUTION, or NOTICE, as illustrated below. To avoid possible property damage,

personal injury, or in some cases possible death, read and comply with all safety

alert messages.

Messages concerning personal injury

The signal words DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION indicate hazards that could

result in personal injury or in some cases death, as explained below. Each of these

signal words indicates the severity of the potential hazard.

DANGER indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will

result in death or serious injury.

WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

could result in minor or moderate injury.

Messages concerning property damage

A NOTICE concerns property damage only.

NOTICE is used for advisory messages concerning possible property damage,

product damage or malfunction, data loss, or other unwanted results—but not

personal injury.

Safety symbols

The generic safety alert symbol

calls attention to a potential personal injury hazard. It appears next to the DANGER,

WARNING, and CAUTION signal words as part of the signal word label. Other

symbols may appear next to DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION to indicate a specific

type of hazard (for example, fire or electric shock). If other hazard symbols are used

in this document they are identified in this section.

Additional symbols

This document uses the following hazard symbols:

Indicates a safety message that concerns a potential electric

shock hazard.

Indicates a safety message that concerns a potentially

hazardous situation in which you could fall.

Indicates a safety message that concerns a possible fire hazard.

Indicates a safety message that concerns radio frequency (RF)

energy.

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 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 degraded

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 professional installer can perform

this process alone.

Chapter 1 • Introduction

Pointing tools and user interfaces

Antenna pointing requires the use of several tools, as described below.

Onsite Accelerated Service Installation System (OASIS)

The OASIS app for smart devices (e.g., tablets and smart phones) facilitates the

pointing process by walking installers through the onsite installation. OASIS provides

a user-friendly, step-by-step process for the installer to follow from site arrival to

site departure.

You may use a smart device loaded with the OASIS app, in combination with a

wireless router connected to the satellite modem, to point the antenna. This is

discussed in the OASIS User Guide (1040630-0001)

A smart device with OASIS effectively replaces the laptop, GPS, and DAPT

requirements explained in the following subsections. Hughes recommends you use

OASIS to guide you through the install.

Global positioning system (GPS) receiver

Note: If you have a GPS-enabled smart device with the OASIS app, you do not need

a separate GPS unit. The app will automatically acquire your coordinates. If it

cannot acquire them, you will need to manually input them. Make sure the

GPS on your smart device meets the requirements explained in this

subsection. See Entering installation parameters with a smart device on

page 10 for more information.

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.

Note: The OASIS app comes with its own unique UI that you use enter installation

parameters and point the antenna. See the OASIS User Guide

(1040630-0001).

Chapter 1 • Introduction

1039429-0001 Revision D

If you do not have a smart device with OASIS, you must connect your laptop to the

satellite modem and use a standard Internet browser (Internet Explorer version 8 or

higher, Mozilla Firefox 3.6 or higher, or Google Chrome version 17 or higher) to

navigate to the LUI. See Entering installation parameters with a wired laptop on

page 11 for more information.

Laptop connected to wireless router

If there is a wireless router present, the installer can use a laptop connected to the

router to perform the antenna pointing process. This is discussed in further detail in

Chapter 5 –Pointing the antenna by using a wireless device.

DiSEqC Antenna Pointing Tool (DAPT2 or DAPT3)

Note: The Pointing workflow in OASIS effectively replaces the DAPT units. If you

are using OASIS, you do not need to use a DAPT. See the OASIS User Guide

(1040630-0001).

The DAPT2 and DAPT3 are known as two-way digital satellite equipment control

(DiSEqC) tools. They both have a large backlit display and three buttons that enable

the installer to step through the antenna pointing procedure. The DAPT2 is orange

in color and has a built-in audio feature to enhance the pointing process. Figure 1

shows the DAPT2. The DAPT2 is used to point the HT1200.

Figure 1: DAPT2 antenna pointing tool

The DAPT3 is yellow and is seen in Figure 2 on page 10. The DAPT3 is used to point

the HT1200 or the HT1300. The DAPT3 must be used for the HT1300.

Chapter 1 • Introduction

1039429-0001 Revision D

Figure 2: DAPT3 antenna pointing tool

The three buttons on the DAPT2 and DAPT3 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 or DAPT3 display

Entering installation parameters with a smart device

After completing physical installation of the satellite modem, connect your smart

device to the satellite modem via a wireless router by using the OASIS app. The

latitude and longitude of the antenna site, and the satellite name, will populate

automatically as you proceed through OASIS’ step-by-step installation process.

When you reach the Pointing workflow in the app, you will submit the

aforementioned parameters and put the satellite modem into pointing mode. See

the OASIS User Guide (1040630-0001).

Azimuth measurements are calibrated relative to true north, not magnetic

north.

Pointing

After acquiring the installation parameters with OASIS, you can begin the process of

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

coordinates obtained from OASIS, you will point the antenna in the general

direction of the satellite to obtain initial acquisition of the satellite signal. See the

OASIS User Guide (1040630-0001)
