• Contents depend on package selected9 E N 1 Assembling the external unit The external unit is delivered partially pre-assembled. Only the dish (Item 2) and the connector rod (Item 3) need to be attached. First, use bolts (A) to attach the dish to the AZ/EL bracket (Item 1). Then loosen screw (B) on the swivel mount to attach the connector rod. After this, install the LNB (Item 5) on the LNB bracket using the LNB clamp (Item 6) as shown in Fig ure 1. 2 Installation Selecting a location a) Make sure that there is an uninterrupted line of sight from the location in which you are planning to install the dish to the southern sky to enable reception from the positi- on of the ASTRA 19.2° East satellite. You can use the illustration below to verify whether you have left sufficient distance from any nearby obstruction to prevent the obstruction from w eakening signal reception. Make sure when installing beneath a terrace that the dish is not within the shadow of any protruding roof. b) Mount the wall bracket (Item 4) horizontally in the location selected. In order to ensure that the external unit is as securely mounted as possible, you should select the appropriate mounting hardware (scr- ews wall plugs, etc.) for the surface onto which the unit is being installed. Because of the wide variety of wall types, no wall bracket mounting hardware is included. c) Loosen screw (C) on the wall bracket and attach the external unit using the connec- tor rod.

If you are unsure, ask your specialist dealer.

4. Installing the F-connectors

Caution! Make sure that the receiver equipment is disconnected from the mains when installing the F-connectors. Proceed with extreme caution when installing the F-connectors in order to prevent the satel- lite receiver from malfunctioning or being damaged irretrievably due to incorrect installation. In addition to the text, please consult Figure 3. > Use a sharp knife to strip the insulation from the end of the cable, leaving 6 mm of the cable core exposed. When stripping the insulation, be sure to avoid damage to the core. > Remove the overlying wire shielding

> Now remove 10 mm of the outer plastic sheath to expose the wire shielding. When removing the plastic sheath, be sure to avoid damage to the wire shielding. > Make sure that none of the wires from the shielding are touching the cable core. > Now twist the F-connector carefully onto the cable until the core wire is flush with the front edge of the F-connector. Finally, check again that none of the wires from the shielding are touching the cable core. The F connector is now correctly installed.

5. Pointing the external unit.

The external unit should be pointed using a meter. It is also possible to point the unit using the less expensive TechiSat SatFinder (article No. 0000/3045). Should neither of these be available, the dish can be pointed using a digital receiver and a television as follows.

t the LNB with the receiver using a suitable coaxial cable.

2. Connect the receiver to the television and set the receiver to a programme channel

on which a signal from the desired satellite can be received (e.g. ARD for ASTRA). Screwable F-connector 20 mm Wire-free Wire shielding Silver foil

3. Select the angle of elevation for your installation location from the AZ/EL table (see

section 6). For example, in Daun the angle of elevation for the ASTRA 19.2° East

satellite is 31.29°. Because your external unit has an offset dish, the angle of elevation to be set is not the one you read from the table, but is rather an adjusted angle for the dish. This is calculated as follows: Angle of elevation minus offset angle = angle to be set. The offset angle for the DigiDish 33 and the DigiDish 45 is 30°. Thus, the angle at which the DigiDish 33 and 45 need to be set in Daun is as follows: 31,29° - 30° = 1,29°

4. Loosen the screws (D) on the swivel mount so that the external unit can be moved

up and down. Place a straight edge over the dish as shown in Figure 4. Set the angle you calculated using an angle gauge. Figure 4

5. Now loosen screws (C) and (B) on the swivel mount and rotate the dish slowly in

the East-West direction (azimuth angle) until you obtain a television picture from the receiver.

nt, the dish still requires fine adjustment. When doing this, it is a good idea to call up the transponder information (see the operating manual for the digital receiver).

7. Then carefully adjust the azimuth (East/West) and elevation angles to obtain the

maximum amplitude as indicated on the the level and quality display.

8. Once this is done, tighten all of the screws and make sure that reception does

not become worse while you are doing so. The installation of the dish is now complete and the dish is properly pointed at the desired satellite. Straight edge used for angle measure- ment12 E N
