Standby

Setting system parameters

Under this menu point the supply voltage for the LNB in receiver standby mode can be switched on and off. It can be switched off for individual and communal systems. The factory setting is "OFF." Reception of 2 satellites.

If your receiver is connected to a multifeed antenna that is also aligned with the HotBird satellites for instance, you will need to change the receiver settings for the DiSEqC signal. The same, of course, also applies to other satellites (DiSEqC = Digital Satellite Equipment Control).

Different control signals are required for the purpose of selecting the satellite signals. To date, the LNB supply voltages 14/18 V and the 22 kHz signal (superimposed on the LNB supply voltage) have been sufficient for signal selection in the majority of applications. With these four switching signals, it is possible to switch between horizontally and vertically polarised signals as well as between satellites (multifeed reception).

However, additional control signals are now required for LNB activation and signal selection in view of the expansion of the frequency range to 12 GHz (high-band range) and for receiving more than two satellites.

The "DiSEqC" control signal is responsible for this task. This signal represents a special modulation of the already existing 22 kHz signal.

DiSEqC setting

The precondition for this setting is that you have made no changes in the DiSEqC (UFO) set-up, refer to the section "DiSEqC (UFO) Set-up".

When you are in the LNB configuration menu (see above), press the

buttons to move the coloured bar to the "HotBird" position,

press the or button and press to confirm, that you wish to add a satellite. The transponder data are now stored and a tick appears after "HotBird" to confirm the setting. You can now set the DiSEqC signal. It serves the purpose of switching between the two

aligned satellites. Press the buttons to go to the DiSEqC-1 setting.

Set #1 for ASTRA and #2 for HotBird. Both positions are already pre- programmed. Both positions are already pre-programmed.

Press the 4 times to exit the menu. At the same time, the receiver will confirm that the set parameters are saved. If a setting is incorrect, you will see the following message on the screen:

Bad or no signal

With cascaded switches, a total of 16 satellite positions can be stored under DiSEqC 2. With H/V as well as High/Low this results in a total of 256 settings. You should have a specialist carry out these settings and set-up such a system.
