Installation Menu

Antenna Setup

This setting is not necessary for caravan operation.

This menu is exclusively intended for service purposes and be used to align the antenna in an emergency, if no measuring instruments are

available. The key activates a search tone, the pitch of which cor- responds to the signal strength - the higher the sound, the better the signal.

In this menu, you can use the  keys to call up the individual menu options and make the settings with the keys.

The fi rst line is used to specify the satellite and the second line to specify the transponder.

In the small box immediately to the right, the fi rst line shows the polarisation of the received signal and the second line shows the transmitted symbol rate.

The bars provide information about the strength (relative level) of the signal and its quality. However, this information cannot be used to draw any conclusions about the quality of the antenna system.

Operation with antenna rotor / positioner (DiSEqC™ 1.2 )

This setting is not necessary for caravan operation.

For operation with a rotor (DiSEqC™1.2), select “Motor/Goto 0°” “On” in the third line.

In the next line “Move/Save”, you can align the antenna to the East or the West. The optimum setup can be viewed in the “Level” bar chart.

In the “Set Limit Value” line, you can set the outermost aiming point (limited by a wall or another obstruction) in a Westerly or Easterly direction.

Always read the operating manual supplied by the rotor manufacturer (this applies in particular to settings different from those described above).
