2. Selecting a location

To receive a signal from the satellite, the antenna must be installed outdoors. An installation in the apartment, or through the window is not possible!

Make sure the antenna is facing south at the selected location. Use a compass for rough orientation.

See this example if you want to receive the Astra 1 (19.2° East) satellite in Germany:

Azimuth (horizontal angle) Elevation (ertical angle)

Important note:

Before mounting the antenna, make sure that the appropriate coaxial cable can also be routed to the receiver. The antenna should not be too far from the receiver. The length of the coaxial cable should be max. 30 meters. Longer cables could degrade the signal quality.

2. Selecting a location

Attention:

Houses, trees and other tall objects can reduce reception or completely block the signal from the satellite. Also keep in mind that trees can grow and affect reception in some time.

Good reception:

Rain:

In heavy rain, the satellite signal may temporarily stop. An optimally oriented antenna as well as the shortest possible cable run minimize the risk of such „rain fading“.

Wind:

Make sure that the antenna is securely and securely mounted so that it does not lose its orientation in strong wind or the screws loosen by constantly moving back and forth.

Snow:

Heavy snow accumulation on the antenna can lead to a weaker satellite signal. The snow should be removed from the antenna as soon as possible.

4. Prepare and lay coaxial cable

When installing the F-connectors, make sure that they are installed correctly. Failure to correctly install the F connectors may result in signal loss or short circuit. The weather protection is only necessary for the exterior of the antenna.

Route the coaxial cable from the antenna to the satellite receiver. Make sure that you do not damage the cable during installation or that there are no kinks. Do not exceed the length of 30 meters, otherwise there may be signal loss. If you would like to lay the cable through a window, please use a suitable window feedthrough.

5. Align the antenna

Satfinder

For orientation via a Sat-Finder, you must connect the Sat-Finder between the antenna and the receiver. Pay attention to the instructions of the Sat Finder for the correct connection and operation.

Meter

Via a satellite measuring device, you can set the signal level even more precisely and, if necessary, perform an error analysis. To align the antenna no receiver is needed here. The power supply is provided by the meter alone.

TV-Menu

If you do not have a satellite finder or meter at hand, you can read the signal level and quality from the on-screen menu. Turn and tilt the antenna until the best signal values are achieved.

Note:

After aligning the antenna, tighten all mounting screws.

6. Skew setting

Signals in vertical (red) and horizontal (blue) line have an offset of exactly 90° to each other. Due to the different position of the satellites, depending on your location, it is possible that the signals do not hit the LNB exactly vertically and horizontally. To adjust this, you need to bring the LNB in the correct position to the emitted signal. This adjustment on the LNB is called „skew adjustment“. The following figure shows you the optimal setting of the LNB. The closer the match, the better the reception. Slightly loosen the screws on the back of the antenna. Set the required skew angle and then tighten the screws again.

7. Troubleshooting

If you receive a bad or no signal, it may have the following reasons:

• Make sure all cable connections are intact and each connection is properly tightened.
• Check the inside of each F connector for dirt or a possible connector shell.
• Check again the setup of the antenna (horizontal and vertical angle). Possibly, the antenna points you to another satellite.
• Make sure that there are no obstacles such as trees, buildings, windows, corners or overhangs of the roof that can affect the signal.
• An RG 6 cable with a solid copper core conductor is strongly recommended because it has a much lower DC voltage drop compared to an RG 6 cable with a copper-plated steel core conductor.
• Make sure the TV is set to the correct input (eg HDMI 1), depending on which input the receiver is plugged in to.
• Make sure the receiver is turned on and a corresponding station list is loaded for the selected satellite.
