GENERAL
The portable Antenna System is designed to be used for receiving and watching
satellite broadcasting in any outdoor environments. Once you have made all the
connections and start the system, it can automatically find the satellite and set the
connection for your satellite receiver.
Note:
Not suitable for the reception of the encoded Swiss TV-channels SRF1, SRF2 etc.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not open the cover of the unit. No user-serviceable parts inside. To open the covers
cancels the guarantee of the unit. Refer to authorized technical service.
This system is not suitable for using while in motion.
The control box is designed to be installed into the dashboard of the vehicles. If
dashboard installation is not possible for vehicles, make sure to determine an
installation place with moderate heat as over heat may cause dangerous situations.
Do not use the control box without appropriate fuse. Using an inappropriate fuse or
bypassing the fuse may cause dangerous situations

SET-UP LOCATION
Make sure there are no physical obstacles between the antenna and line of sight to
satellite which may prevent to get the signals. Any tall objects will block the signal.
The antenna unit requires “direct line of sight” to satellites for optimal signal reception.
The signal receiving performance of the system may decrease during heavy rainfall or
snowfall. It also happens if the antenna is covered by snow. In such case, remove
gently the snow off the antenna.
CONNECTION SCHEME
INSTALLATION
1. Make sure the control box is switched off while connecting all the cables.
2. Use the RG-6 coaxial (long) cable to connect the antenna unit’s DCR-port with
“ANTENNA IN” of the control box. Then use the second coaxial (short) cable to
connect “LOOP-OUT” jack of the control box with the LNB/SAT-IN input of your
satellite receiver. The loop jack passes the complete receiving signal coming from
the satellite to your receiver through or TV set.
3. Connect 12-24 V DC supply voltage to the input of the control box via 5 amp
thermal fuse. The fuse protects it from damages caused by e.g. a shortcut or cable
fire.
NOTE:
The XORO MPA 38 Pro has an auto skew functionality that automatically sets the
polarization angle for the LNB and a GPS-receiver for accurate and quick positioning.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Operating the system
Make sure all the connections between antenna system and control box and between
receiver and control box using the loop out port are connected properly.
Make sure the handle of the antenna points towards the floor while in operation in order
to prevent a limited signal reception.
Turn on the system
“Turn on” the On/Off switch on the front of the control box. The LED on the front panel
will turn on and the system will start to operate. You can see on the control panel what
satellite the system is set to.
The system will automatically search for the satellite. This will take about 30-60
seconds. After the satellite has been found the signal will be transferred to your receiver
or TV set via the loop out port of the control box.
You can use the control panel to switch between the preprogrammed satellite positions.
Turn off the system
To turn off the system, press the “
When the antenna system is totally closed, the LED indicator will be turned off on the
control panel.
Operating the antenna via DiSEqC
The antenna unit can be directly controlled by user’s receiver without requiring the
control panel through DiSEqC(1.1/1.0) bus communication
When diseqc feature is enabled the control box behaves like DiSEqC switch each
DiSEqC port will be representing correspond number satellite as shown in the following
table
Port A - Satellite 1 (Astra 1 – 19,2° East)
Port B - Satellite 2 (Astra 2 – 28,2° East)
Port C - Satellite 3 (Astra 3 – 23,5° East)
Port D - Satellite 4 (Hotbird – 13,0° East)
Port E - Satellite 5 (Eutelsat 9,0° East)
Port F - Satellite 6 (Turksat 42,0° East)
