Turn off the receiver or any used power supply before installing, to avoid short-
circuit.
Installation and repairs to the equipment may only be carried out by technicians
observing the current VDE guideline s. No liab ility will be assumed in the case of
faulty insta llation and commissioning.
Before opening the device, pull the mains cable or remove the power supply,
otherwise t her e is a danger to life. The same is true when you clean the dev ic e or
perform work on the connections.
Power feeding cables as well as feeder lines may not be damaged or clamped by
objects of any ki nd.
Avoid exposure of the equipment to direct sunlight and to other heat sources (e. g.
radiators. other electrical devices, chimney, etc.). Absolutely avoid that cables come
near any sour ce of hea t (e.g. rad ioa tors , ot her e lectr ical devices, chimne y, etc. )..

If the SAT-Navi should be operated with an external power supply (which is not
included) plea se co nnect it here.
2. Slide switch
In the upper position, the SAT-Navi will acquire power from the ext ernal power
supply or from tuner power supply input (by a connected receiver). In the lower
position, the SAT-Navi will acquire the power supply from the AA cells in the battery
compartment.
3. Low Voltage LED
The red LED is glowing, when the input voltage is too low (< 13,3 V) or whe n the
batteries are empty.
4. Power LED
The LED is glow ing, wh en t he dev ic e is in operation.

Here, you can insert 12 AA (Mignon) batteries or recharg ea b le bat ter ies to pow er
the device ind ep end ently of any power supp ly.
10. RS232 - serial port
Interface used for software updates. (Please see in “Update menu”)
The SAT-Navi can be operated by delivering the power remotely from a satellite
receiver or multiswitch (which may be supposed to be connected to the LNB after
searching the Satellite).
The receiver/multiswitch should be able to deliver 600mA of current to the LNB!
Make sure the power supply selector is in the position (“EXT”).
Connect the LNB/IF input of the satellite receiver to the DC power supply input (8)
of the SAT-Navi
If the SAT-Navi does not power up or switches off when trying to search satellites,
the current delivered by the receiver may be insufficient. Please use another
receiver or anoth er way of supp ly .
2.1.3 Internal batteries
Make sure, you have inserted fitting batteries into the compartment in the right
direction.
Put the Power Supply Selector in the lower position (“BATT”) to activate battery
operation.
Y ou ca n use non -re chargeable and rec har gea ble batteries in AA size.
If the voltage of any power source is lower than 13.3V, the red low voltage LED
lights up
Take care, that the input voltage is always higher than 13.3V.
If you are using rechargeable batteries, switch off (to “EXT”) the device when the
red LED lights up to prevent the cells from total discharge.
3 Operation
3.1 Main menu
At power on, the display shows version information of the software, and then appears
the main menu.
Fig. 5: Main menu
With the buttons /, you can choose the following options :
SAT-Navi (to align the satellite dish to a desired satellite)
Light (toggle the LCD background light)
Update (to initiate the software update by the USB Adapter)
To align a satellite dish, please take the following steps:
1. Select a satellite from the list
Fig. 6: SAT-Nav menu
2. Choose if you want to search the satellite with the default transponder (FREQ.
DEFAULT) or with other transponders (FREQ. LIST). Please prefer (FREQ.
DEFAULT), because the identification of the satellite is more precise for this option.
Fig. 7: Transponder
Î If you choose (FREQ. LIST), you can select the transponder in the following menu .
Now, the Satellite and Transponder is chosen and the device tries to lock on a signal
from the desired satellite.
3. Please move now the Satellite dish antenna slowly until you clearly hear the buzzer
noise. The SAT Navi has logged-in and reckognized the wanted Satellite. The
following other informations are displayed now too:
P: Signal Strength (in dBµV)
BER: Bit Err or Rate
Q: Signal Quality (Bar Graph)
Fig. 9: Signal
With this Information and the acoustic signal, you can fine-tune the antenna to the
opti ma l po s it i on.
The frequency of the acoustic signal is linked to the signal quality. So you can search
the satellite and fine-tune the position also without seeing the display of the Sat
Navigator.
Î To ex it the Sate llite Nav iga tor function, just press OK.
3.1.1 Short Circuit Protection
If there is a short circuit on the LNB input, the LNB power will be cut off and there will be
the messa ge “Sh ort c. detected” in the display .
After you have removed the cause for the short circuit, it appears the message “Short c.
restored” an d the LNB Power is switched on again.
3.2 Light menu
In the Light Menu, you can switch the background light of the LCD on or off.
For always being up to dat e, t her e is a possibility to update the software of the Satellite
Navigat or by a serial (RS-232) interfa ce. Since most mode rn PCs don ’t ha ve a RS-232
port a ny more, an adapter to USB ha s to be used.
To update the software, please do the following steps:
1. Connect the update adapter to the Satellite Navigator at the connector found in the
battery compartment (see pict ure )..
RS-232-
dapter

2. Connect the update adapter to the USB adapter with the connection cable.
4. Start the software update application on your PC and choose the right COM-Port.
If you are not sure, which COM-Port to choose, under Windows you can find out the
right port in the device manager.
5. Press “Sen d ” on the up date tool.
6. Power on the Sat e llit e Nav igat or and choose “Update” fr om the ma in menu.
The Sate llite Nav igator begins to download , this w ill tak es some m inutes . After the
update, the softw are is bur ne d into t he inte rna l fl ash me mo ry.
DO NOT SWITCH OFF WHILE THE SOFTWARE IS BURNING!
If the update was not successful, there might be the following reasons:
1. The commun ication between the Satellite Navigat or and the upda te application
failed.
