7. Setting a satellite dish

In order to connect external equipment including a satellite dish and converter, use the installation instructions or assistance from expert - installer!
The precise setting antenna is the basis for good reception. Even the best antenna, which is ill-adjusted will cause problems with quality. Even small mistakes can prevent the receipt or very worsen its quality. Before the installation, make sure whether the place lends itself to that. The competent direction can be pre-determined by comparing with other antennas. Immediately before the antenna can not be any obstacles cover seeking to signal the dish! When you are choosing the best place for the antenna, to attach and it initially set, it still must be carefully adjusted. Each antenna is enabling regulatory adjustment screws in vertical position and level.
In digital receivers regulation is difficult. Settings can no be done base on picture, because it appears with delay. Also available indicators in the menu settings receiver typically operate with a delay, so the regulation can take a long time and be very inaccurate. For the antenna setting is necessary some meter antenna signal. Meter turns on a cable television converter between a receiver. We will confirm the presence of switch voltage converter with a tuner, and will show the size of the signal to satellites encountered. We invite you to benefit from expert assistance ­installer!

8. Setting motorized satellite dish

Proper work of Ferguson receiver ensures motorized system by USALS company Stab. To connect the installation of the dish with motorized system USALS, connect the output of USALS to LNB IN on rear panel of Ferguson receiver. The motor is what actually moves the antenna between the various satellite positions and is installed in between the antenna mast and the antenna mount. It is designed such that the axis of rotation is aligned with the North Star. This type of mount is often referred to as a Polar Mount. As a result, azimuth and elevation do not have to be adjusted individually. Instead, the antenna rotates on only one axis. The antenna motor is installed on the already existing vertical mast. The local latitude position of the location is then setup on the motor’s scale thus aligning the axis of rotation in the correct position. Similar to a fixed antenna installation, the elevation scale on the antenna mount must be set for a satellite as close to south as possible. In the southern hemisphere you would be looking for a northern-most satellite. The selected satellite should lie within 5° of your southern-most position; the southern-most position being equal to your local longitude. For example, if your local longitude is 73° west, then the satellite you select should be located within +/- 5° of 73° west, or within the range 68° to 78° west.
USALS greatly simplifies the antenna setup. Ferguson receiver simply asks you for your local geographical coordinates and calculates the satellite positions on its own using a complex mathematical formula. The receiver then drives the motor directly to the selected satellite position. Once you have a signal, you need only finely adjust the antenna mount and horizontal position (on the mast itself) for maximum signal. If the initial southern setting was slightly off, it

would now be corrected. Once the first satellite is perfectly set, all the other satellites in the arc would also be automatically set as soon as the orbital position of these additional satellites is entered into the receiver.
Without USALS, the alignment of the antenna system is somewhat more difficult. DiSEqC 1.2 drives the antenna to the selected satellite position in almost the same way. But since the local geographical data is missing, the motor drives to a satellite position based on the prime meridian and the equator. Therefore, when aligning the motor for the first time – and then again later on with all the other satellite positions – alignment with the actual satellite position has to be achieved with the motor commands “move east/west”. Because of these difficulties, manufacturers of these motors make available helpful software on their web sites that enable you to easily calculate the true position of a satellite.

9. Connection Diagram

The following figure shows cable connections required for TV and other related electrical equipment. If you need any assistance for specific equipment connection, please contact your local dealer.

9.1 Connect SCART port (recommended)

• Connect the antenna with LNB IN of the STB.
• Connect to TV as following figure.

9.2 Connect composite port

• Connect LNB IN port on receiver to a satellite dish.
• Connect the video and audio by means of three cinch cables to the television set. One
cable, coloured yellow used to send video. The two remaining cable, red and white, are used to connect sound (right and left channel).
