Kathrein CAP 600 manual Alignment Satellite Search

ALIGNMENT (SATELLITE SEARCH)

The antenna is aligned automatically. After the UFS 740 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 every satellite broadcasts its own identification signal, which is automatically identified 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.

Press the  button to start search mode.

The search may take a few minutes (generally about four minutes). You will first see the following message:

As soon as the turntable has found the correct satellite, automatic fine-tuning is carried out (and if the signal level is sufficient, the satellite position is immediately saved by the turntable). The screen may “freeze” during fine-tuning – this is determined by the system.

The set position (of the satellite that was found) is saved and the desired channel appears on the TV screen.
