Offset dish Alignment

[dilbino]

Yesterday one dish technician came to my building for aligning a dish for my neighbor. He saw one of my dish align to Nilesat

and told me that it is not Nilesat and nilesat alignment is like this

Anybody tried in this

way in rainy area?? I heard that this will reduce rain outage..!!!huh

Its an upside down installation of d dish. This is possible.

What is d elevation of d satellite at ur place ?

 

[dilbino]

It is possible and elevation of nilesat is 20.3' in my area..

For an inverted dish, when dish is vertical to d plane, it makes an angle of -22 degrees

This, -22 is the angle of offset arm of ur dish. ( this can vary, can be 16, 22, 28)

I m assuming, its 22.

In order to achieve an elevation of 20 degrees on an upside down dish, U have to set an elevation of 42 degrees ( -22 to 0 degrees, and then from 0 degrees to 20 degrees ), so total, 22+20 = 42 degrees :k
