Tighten the screws of the LNB bracket only in such a way that the LNB is fixed. If you tighten them too much, the LNB bracket could break.

Antenna installation

Suitable location/Rough direction of the antenna

You must find a suitable location before installing the antenna. The satellite locator compass will help you for this purpose.

Different cities are marked on the outer side of the locating disc (2) and different satellites are marked on the inner side.

 Insert the nipples of the satellite locator compass in

the corresponding holes of the dish antenna or in the case cover.

Antenna installation

 Turn the locating disc on the satellite locator compass

in such a manner that your location points to the “City“ marking (1).

Antenna installation



There are only few cities and the most popular satellites marked on the locating disk. Select the city that is closest to your location and the desired satellite.

 Now turn the case or the dish antenna to the right or

left so that the arrow head of the compass needle (3) points to the area of the satellite you would like to receive.

Now the antenna points towards the direction from which you receive the desired satellite signals.



No objects or buildings should obstruct the reception in this direction. You must have a free view in this direction when you stand behind the antenna. The antenna must not be installed behind a balcony balustrade or a house balustrade. This must be considered with all installation types.

You can use the adjustment of any existing satellite antennas nearby as a reference during the rough adjustment.

Antenna installation

Example for an installation on a wall:

vea = vertical elevation angle haa = horizontal azimuth angle

The satellite locator compass is only designed for a rough adjustment. The fine adjustment is explained on page 57.



The receiver is equipped with an integrated satellite finder which will support you when installing the satellite system.
