ALIGNMENT (SATELLITE SEARCH)
The antenna is aligned automatically. After the UFS 940sw has been switched on, the turntable automatically moves to the last channel received and the associated satellite position (e.g. ARD/ASTRA). This works because each satellite is automatically recognised by the turntable.
The satellite search is started when you select a channel. If the turntable has not yet saved the position of the satellite, you will see the following display when you select a channel (example):
If the vehicle is not on supports during the search process and people are moving around inside it, there is a risk that movement of the vehicle will mean that the satellite is not found.
You will see this display if the CAP has not yet saved a satellite position (e.g. after the CAP has been reset or during the First Installation).
You will see this display if the CAP has already saved a satellite position but because for instance the location of the vehicle has changed, the satellite is no longer to be found at the know/saved position.
The search starts automatically after five seconds or if the button was pressed previously.
The search may take a few minutes (generally about two minutes). You will first see the following message:
As soon as the turntable has found the correct satellite, it saves this position. During this process you receive no TV picture. The turntable will then perform an automatic fine adjustment (if the signal level is sufficient, the satellite position will be saved immediately by the turntable). During the fine adjustment you will for the first time receive a TV picture, this however can still “freeze” during the fine adjustment process - whether it does or not is
The set position (of the satellite that was found) is saved and the desired channel appears on the TV screen.
