Direction of the antenna

Correct location

The most common satellites are in southeastern direction, e.g. Astra 19,2° East, Eutelsat Hotbird 13° East, Astra2 28

East.

The direction of the reception / antenna is determined by two angles:

x the horizontal azimuth angle = haa x the vertical elevation angle = vea



When searching the southern direction, the position of the sun might help you. During summer time in UK, the sun is exactly in southern position at 12 am noon and during winter at 1 pm.

The following picture shows the angle of 90° between the cardinal points South (S) and East (E) at which nearly all common satellite positions, such as Astra 19,2° East and Eutelsat Hotbird 13° East can be found. This is called the horizontal azimuth angle.

Helpline No. UK/Northern Ireland 01422 263270 Rep. Ireland 1890 812049

Depending on which satellite you wish to receive, there must be free sight without any obstacles in this angle. This must be especially ensured with the installation on a wall. Please make sure that you are able to rotate your antenna in a manner that it does not touch the house wall.



Please make sure that there are no obstacles between the antenna and the satellite. No tree, house or other obstacles must block visibility. As a general rule: an obstacle may only be half the size as its distance to the antenna. This is applicable for all kinds of installation.

Example for an installation on a wall:

Danger of electric shock!

The saltellite system must not touch any wires (such as aerial wires). There is danger of life.

Rough direction of the antenna

You must connect the LNB cable to LNB before directing the antenna.

NOTE

: For ease of alignment refer to APPENDIX 1 and the paper

“compass” at the end of this manual.

Caution!

While connecting the LNB cable, the receiver must not be connected to the mains supply.

Ö Screw the F plug on the LNB connection. Ö After installation, direct the antenna towards the satellite from

which you would like to receive signals. While doing this, set the horizontal azimuth angle.

Ö When you have directed the antenna towards your desired

satellite, you must set the elevation angle (vertical elevation angle).

Ö Unscrew the wing nuts (arrowed) for setting the elevation angle.

Move the antenna carefully back or forward by the required degree.



The table on the next page will serve you as an orientation for setting the corresponding elevation angle depending on the location and the satellite to be received. The satellite system has been designed for mobile use. Therefore not at each location all satellites can be received due to the size of the antenna. For this, we presume a horizontal installation of the antenna.

Fine tuning of the antenna

The reception quality set by you in the antenna settings may not be optimal. In this case, you must do a fine tuning of the antenna.

L

The sat beeper supports you here. Please see the owner manual of the sat beeper for correct usage.

x Select a channel broadcasted on the satellite of your choice,

e.g. Astra1 19° East channel location 1 = ARD

x Press the “INFO” key.

x The current reception parameters are displayed. Please

have a look at the signal-quality display during the following fine-tuning process.

x By pressing the 1 key, an acoustic signal is offered

additionally to support you during the fine-tuning process. A stronger and higher signal indicates a better direction of the antenna.

As soon as the signal quality has reached approx. 60%, the channel

image appears in the background. Should there be no image, you

might have directed the antenna to another satellite instead of

Astra1 19°. In this case, please proceed with the fine-tuning process as follows until you can see an image in the background.

L

Please keep in mind that the signal-strength indication only

shows the connection quality of the antenna to the receiver and is not intended to be used for directing the antenna.

Initially you must set the antenna vertically approx. 1° steeper or flatter to set the correct elevation angle.

Ö For this purpose, slightly unscrew both wing nuts as described in

the previous section.

Ö Incline the antenna by approx. 1°.

Ö When you have found a position with good reception quality, you

must tighten the wing nuts again to fix the antenna .

Ö Slowly turn the antenna horizontally towards the right and

subsequently towards the left.



A digital satellite receiver receives the transmission signal of the satellite with a time lag. Therefore, turn the antenna very slowly degree by degree and wait for a few seconds in every position.

Helpline No. UK/Northern Ireland 01422 263270 Rep. Ireland 1890 812049

Ö Check the signal quality continuously. Ö If you cannot find an antenna setting with good signal quality,

APPENDIX I

PORTABLE SATELLITE TV SYSTEM

Portable Satellite Dish Alignment Instructions & Information

Satellites are located every 3 degrees in a geostationary orbit 35,000 kilometres above the earths surface at the equator which is known as the Clarke Belt. No matter where you are on the earths surface the satellites will always be located at the same position the only thing that changes is the elevation as you move further north or south.

Satellite transmissions are low power high frequency; in order to obtain useable signals you need clear line of site between your dish and the satellite. Any obstruction in the way i.e., buildings / towers / power lines can and will affect the signals received, in some cases eliminating the signals altogether. Selecting a fixing position for your dish is therefore critical to the success of the installation. In an open field situation there should be no problems unless something large is parked between you and the satellite. A built up area is somewhat more problematic, as a general rule of thumb look to place the dish as high as possible, the provided cable will allow a reasonable height to be achieved. A small difference in the location of the dish can have quite a significant effect on signals received.

Assemble the dish as per the enclosed instructions. Ensure cable connections have been made correctly There should be no connection between the inner and outer sheath, if you find you have a connection it is likely a small strand of outer sheath has bridged to the inner core on one of your connectors. Do not turn on the power to your receiver.

Connect the cable to the LNB on the dish (previously assembled as per instructions), uncoil the cable from the dish to the receiver. You will see that to uncoil the cable properly will require the twist to be removed from the cable, this can only be achieved properly with one end disconnected, once you have the cable laid out with no twists, connect the other end to the LNB connection on the receiver unit. Ensure your scart connected to the TV is made correctly using the TV connection point on the receiver.

Power up the TV, power up the Sat system, ensure the TV is in AV mode you should see an output from the receiver showing no signal.

London and 2 meters on screen 1. is Signal Intensity and

2. is Signal quality.

10 Press 1 key to get audible output from TV

You are now ready to start to align the dish, if you have been changing settings previously ensure you have selected ASTRA28E, this should be indicated in the info screen.

The dish setting clamp should be loosened to allow movement but tight enough to hold its position securely once an adjustment is made.

1 Identify due south with a compass. 2 Place the enclosed SATELLITE MAP on the ground in line with

your dish and with the SOUTH arrow aligned correctly with the aid of the compass.

3 Set the elevation of the dish vertical from horizontal (the dish

has an offset designed in its construction). Look at the dish from the side, if the top and bottom is in line with a vertical line from the ground this is the starting point.

4 Move the dish to be in line with the marking for ASTRA 1 28E

on your SATELLITE MAP.

5 When moving the dish try to remember you must keep the

elevation as previously set, only adjust the horizontal direction for now as indicated above.

Fine tuning

It is at this point you rely on the audible signal generated from your receiver and through the TV, turn the sound up so you can hear it from the dish location. It is quite likely you still only have

36 – 37% signal intensity and 10 – 11% quality. The dish is

pointing slightly towards the south, and not at the satellite. Carefully follow the fine tuning instructions. Remember do not adjust the elevation at this point, it should be set at vertical when viewed from the side.

1 Turn the dish on the horizontal plane towards the east (left as

viewed from behind), 2 or 3 degs at a time and then wait to hear the audible signal indicator change, wait for two or three seconds, adjust 2 or 3 degs and wait again, after the second or third adjustment you should hear a change in the sound level, its a good idea to have a friend relaying the signal intensity and quality reading during this stage.

ONLY MOVE THE LNB ARM BY 2 OR 3 MM AT A TIME, IF YOU MOVE IT TOO MUCH YOU WILL GO PAST THE SATELLITE AND NO SIGNAL CHANGE WILL BE NOTED. IF YOU STAND IN FRONT OF THE DISH YOU WILL BLOCK THE SIGNAL, GET OUT OF THE WAY TO CHECK SIGNAL READINGS.

2 What you are trying to achieve at this point is an increase in

the signal quality (the intensity will take care of itself). As you move the dish past the satellite the quality will go down (usually accompanied by a reduction in the audible tone).

3 If all is well you have just located the satellite, you have gone

from a low signal to the south of the satellite to a low signal to the east of the satellite. This typically takes place with no more than a 10 to 15 mm movement in the LNB arm (quite a fine adjustment), it is easy to see now why just moving the dish about and hoping will not work.

4 Move the dish direction back towards the south to achieve

maximum signal quality (this still may be quite low 14 to 18%), you now have the direction fine tuned.

5 Now concentrate on the elevation, without moving the

direction slowly move the LNB arm near the dish up thereby increasing the elevation from the horizon, yet again a peak will be noticed as you go past the optimal point, move the dish back down to achieve max signal quality.

6 You have now narrowed the alignment to a small area, move

the dish horizontally to the left until the signal falls, and then back to the right until the signal falls, in the middle is the correct alignment, if you go over this again first with the horizontal, and then the vertical you will have pinpointed the highest signal and therefore the correct alignment of the dish to that particular satellite.

At this point you should expect that a signal quality of 60 – 70

% and a signal intensity of 70% can be achieved.

These instructions are good for a location from the midlands to the north, and as explained at the start elevation increases and decreases depending upon your location on the earths surface,

so for the south of England elevation is about 5 degrees and for the north of Scotland the elevation needs to be minus i.e. the dish needs to be leaning forward 2-3 degrees.

NOTE: You can also use the included “Satellite Bleeper” to assist

in fine tuning the position of the dish. Refer to the instructions included with the “Bleeper”.
