User manual METRONIC ANTENNE EXTERIEURE UHF-VHF EXTRA PLATE QUICK GUIDE

[. . . ] What is important it is the variation when you move the dish or the motor. When the level is going up a bit, stop the rotation to check if the quality level increases. 5 - Step by step rotation If your receiver has the step-by-step rotation, you will be able to adjust accurately the motor position. If it is not the case, try to reach as precisely as possible the desired angle with a continuing rotation. It is useful to keep the degree order precision. 6 - Give a number to a satellite Check in your receiver user manual how to associate a number to each satellite. [. . . ] · Once the motor is assembled, do not fix it straight away on the mast or the stand off arm, some operations needs to be done near the receiver first. 0 208 994 1181 8 2 (3) (2) (1) (4) (3) 9 0 208 994 1181 Angle adjustment Look at the Europe map (diagram 3) and find your elevation angle in relation to the horizontal line. For example, about 31, 5° for Glasgow, 38° for Bordeaux and 39, 5° for Napoli, 34, 5° for Brussels. When the right angle as been adjusted, tighten the screws. Be sure to read the angle on the side labelled «ELEVATION», not on the side labelled «LATITUDE» Example for Brussels 0 208 994 1181 10 3 Inclination and angular reading for Hotbird 3 11 0 208 994 1181 D Connection For the installation you will need 2 pieces of cable. The first one, roughly 1, 5m (5ft) to go from the LNB to the motor, the second one as long as it takes to go from the motor to the receiver. Prepare the cables and assemble the "F" plug at the end of the cable. Respect the dimension indicated on the diagram 4; the plug must screw on the aluminium foil rolled up on the outer sheath. Make sure that none of the braid strand is in contact with the central core of the cable. Connect the receiver to the television set with a scart lead. Put the motor near the receiver, on a table or on the floor, and connect the receiver LNB input to the Motor RECEIVER output with the 1, 5m (5ft) cable, then switch on the receiver. 4 0 208 994 1181 12 5 receiver E Reset the motor and checking of the stop The reset of the motor is to reset its position, and put it at 0°, which means face south. Go into the DiSEqC 1. 2 (2) menu and then reset the motor (3). · Put the receiver on the Hotbird reference channel. 0 208 994 1181 16 Go to corresponding paragraph page 4 and 5 (4) H1 OK WRONG H2 North South 17 0 208 994 1181 I Assembling the LNB head Check the LNB and receiver user manual. J Checking Before going to the final stage (the alignment) check that your installation looks like the picture below (exept the cables). J 0 208 994 1181 18 K Alignment / Satellite dish orientation · At the end of the step K, you will receive the Hotbird reference channel on the television screen. Do not go to step L (adjusting the alignment) if you do not receive this channel. 1) Put the receiver on the Hotbird reference channel then display the signal indicator (8). 2) While checking the level, sweep slowly (for 20 seconds) a quarter of a turn on the right, then a quarter of a turn on the left while pivoting the whole (satellite dish + rotor) around the mast. If the level is not going up, increase the satellite dish incline of 2° and do the same manual scan. Carry on as above by steps of 2° followed by a sweep until the level increase. When you are on the right satellite, the image will appear in the background. Adjust it to obtain the maximum level and quality (bar as long as possible). In some area, it is normal that you will turn up to 20 sweeps, be patient. 3) Block temporally all the nuts. (8) Go to corresponding paragraph page 4 and 5 19 0 208 994 1181 L Orientation adjustment · Put the receiver on the Atlantic Bird 3 reference (1) channel. This satellite doesn't broadcast popular or interesting channels. [. . . ] · Go into the DiSEqC 1. 2 (2) menu and give a number (6) to Astra 19°E (03 if you hesitate). · By a continuous rotation (4) and then a step by step rotation (5), make the motor turn to obtain the maximum level and quality. · Store (7) the position founded. · Check that you receive the Astra channel.
