1.0 WHAT IS SLIMSAT?

SLIMSAT is a Horn Array Type Satellite Antenna with integrated LNB. It can receive signals from major Satellites and would replace a 65 cm parabolic dish. Small, discreet and easy to use, it can be installed in a few minutes and used as a portable antenna for all satellite receptions. SLIMSAT can be used for both Free-to-Air and encrypted (requiring a subscription with an operator) channel reception; it can also receive all High Deﬁnition channels with a superior image quality. For the use and installation, please read the following instructions and installation materials carefully.

2.0 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 Before using this product please read this manual carefully and follow exactly all

installation, mounting & orientation instructions.

 All the instructions should be followed in order to avoid any technical problems.  Any electric or magnetic ﬁeld close to the SLIMSAT may cause a bad reception or even

cut off the signal completely.

 Do not drill the plastic cover of the antenna, which seals the antenna from moisture.  Handle the antenna with care as any impact will cause damage to the electronics.  Do not open the cover, any attempt to repair by a non-qualiﬁed person can be dangerous

and void the warranty.

 Any obstacle (buildings, trees, etc.) will block the reception of the signal from the satellite

to the antenna.

 Do not paint or add any substance on the antenna cover, this will block the reception of

the signal from the satellite.

 The cable between the antenna and the Satellite receiver should not exceed 30m as it will

decrease the quality of the signal.

 The use non- isolated jacks will result in a loss of the signal level.  Do not forget to adjust the antenna and the bracket to the cross-polarity (skew angle

please refer to chapter 3.4 step 4).

 Tighten all the screws of the antenna once you have ﬁnished the adjustments.  This product contains the LNB, it is forbidden to add, change or modify the LNB.  For more precise details on the above points or for any information, please ask your

retailer or customer service.

Warning!!!

Antennas improperly installed to an inadequate structure are very susceptible to wind damage. This Damage can be very serious or even life threatening. The owner and installer assumes full responsibility that the installation is structurally sound to support all loads (weight, wind & ice) and properly sealed against leaks. The manufacturer will not accept liability for any damage caused by a satellite system due to the many unknown variable applications.

3.0 HOW TO INSTALL?

By following the instructions step by step you can proceed easily to install SLIMSAT by yourself or with the help of a professional antenna installer.

Before installing your antenna check that the SLIMSAT box contains all items listed in the chapter ‘Box Content’. In the event of any missing parts, please contact your distributor.

3.1 Step 1: Where to Install?

In order to receive a signal from the Satellite, SLIMSAT is to be installed in an open loop space (outside the house or the apartment), in the direction of the satellite towards the equator, for which, you will need a compass to exactly orient SLIMSAT toward the satellite (Note; please take reference to the table of the Azimuth angles speciﬁed in the back pages of this manual)

Note

To ensure accurate compass reading, stay away from large metal objects, speciﬁcally electrical cables and then make multiple readings

English

Make sure that there are no obstacles in front of SLIMSAT which can decrease the signal reception quality, such as buildings, or trees (you may keep in mind that trees will grow and may block the signal). In order to be able to ﬁx and install your antenna easily you might choose an easily accessible place without any potential danger for installation.

Think about the way you might pass your cable in a discreet way from the SLIMSAT to your Set top Box. The antenna should not be too distant from your satellite receiver; a cable longer than 30 meters can decrease the quality of the signal.

3.2 Step 2: Installation

In order to install your new antenna, you need to ﬁnd the skew, elevation and azimuth angle by referring to the table in the appendix of this manual. If you can’t ﬁnd your location, please refer to the information of the place nearest to your location. This manual will show you the installation example for the reception of ASTRA1 satellite in Brest region of France. The angle information for Brest region is Skew: -19.7º

El: 30º Az: 149.6º

Part Assembly

1. Fixing the Skew (Joint of Angle Bracket and Antenna Body)

Join the Angle Bracket and Antenna Body with the supplied screw and adjust the skew angle to -19.7

Check –

2. Fixing the Elevation (Joint of Antenna Body and Main Support)

For the purpose of delicate adjustment of the elevation and azimuth angle, please don’t ﬁx the bolt and nut tightly.

Check 30

3. Installation of Fixing Bracket A

When installing Fixing Bracket A (B3), please consider the place of installation (clamp type, wall mounting type). Make sure that the direction of the bracket is towards satellite. In order to support the weight of the antenna, nut (N1) should be ﬁxed as tightly as possible. Please purchase the anchor bolt for wall mounting installation separately.

Use anchor bold (not included)

4. Joining of the Antenna Body and Fixing Bracket A (B3)

Join the assembled Antenna Body and Fixing Bracket A. In order to support the weight of the antenna, nut (N1) should be ﬁxed as tightly as possible.

3.3 Step 3: Connecting the Antenna and the Set top box

Once you have installed the antenna in an open loop space and mounted the way you want it to be the next step is to connect it all together.

In order to be able to watch your favourite satellite programs, you need to connect your satellite antenna to a receiver by a cable. The cable between the antenna and the Satellite receiver should not exceed 30m as it will decrease the quality of the signal.

PART 1 • English

The use of a long or bad quality cable and not isolated jacks can cause a loss of the signal level, it would be preferable to use an RG6 Coaxial cable (HF 17VATC or 19VATC cable), in order to minimise a signal loss.

3.4 Step 4: Fine Tuning and Fixing the Bracket

Once ﬁne tuning for signal reception is completed, please tighten all bolts and nuts. Once all connections are made, turn on the TV and the satellite receiver, select the Antenna Pointing Menu on your receiver and check the signal level on your TV. Do not forget to choose “LNB: ON”. Someone will need to stay in front of the TV to tell you when the signal is “good” while you’re outside adjusting the antenna the best way possible. The signal level and quality is indicated on the TV screen and will ﬂuctuate and change colour according to the adjustment & movement of the antenna while you are pointing & ﬁnding (azimuth, elevation angle). The level indicates the power of the signal and the colour indicates the signal reception quality from the chosen satellite.
