POLARISATION SETTING

INSTALLATION PROCESS

The explanation of this installation process is based on the assumption that the entire CAP unit has been properly put together, installed and set up, as described in this installation manual. The safety instructions in the detailed operating manual for the UFS 740sw must also be followed!

To dismantle/install the planar antenna from the turntable, proceed as follows: (the key names refer to the remote control for the UFS 740sw receiver)

1.Turn on the receiver at the main switch on the front of the unit.

2.Pressing any of the numeric buttons will bring the receiver into operating mode.

3.If necessary, first perform a first installation

4.Wait until the message “Position of Astra is not known. Start a search?” is displayed – cancel this procedure by pressing the  button.

5.Next, press the  button to go to the main menu and use the  buttons to move to the menu item “Settings”. Confirm the selection by pressing the  button.

6.Use the  buttons to move to the menu item “Antenna Configuration”. Confirm the selection by pressing the  button.

7.Use the  buttons to select the Elevation menu item and use the numeric pad on the remote control to enter “400”.

8.Press the  button and the turntable will move to the selected elevation angle.

9.Turn off the UFS 740 using the main switch on the front and disconnect it from the power.

10.Unscrew the antenna fastening screws on the turntable with a suitable hexagon key (size 5), see photograph on the right.

11.Carefully lift the antenna off the turntable and exchange the slot for the rubber bushing with cable and the relevant dummy bushing (depending on the direction you want to move the antenna).

ON THE TURNTABLE

Point 9.

12.You can now refit the antenna with the desired change of angle (+15° or -15°) (see picture on the right).

13.Tighten the hexagon socket screws to a torque of 6-7 Nm.

14.Leave the installation location and reconnect the UFS 740sw to the power supply.
