User manual STRONG SLIMSAT SA60

[. . . ] Do not open the cover, any attempt to repair by a non-qualified person can be dangerous and void the warranty. Any obstacle (buildings, trees, etc. . . . ) will block the reception of the signal from the satellite to the antenna. Do not paint or add any substance on the antenna cover, this will block the reception of the signal from the satellite. [. . . ] Only the use of this measuring device guarantees an optimum adjustment. English 7 A- Cross Polarisation (Skew Angle): Obtain the Skew Angle of the chosen satellite, from the lists in this manual which cover many European countries & big cities). Tilt your antenna to the specified degree by looking to the degree graduation located on the back of the antenna bracket. Once achieved, tighten both screws connecting the Skew Bracket (B1) to the Antenna Body (A1). B- Elevation Angle: Then obtain the Elevation angle according to the area location of the chosen satellite on the lists in this manual. Then move your antenna up or down according to the angle, (you may use the graduated surface of the bracket in order to make sure that you are on the right position. Once achieved, tighten your elevation nuts on the Angle Bracket (B2), this is a preliminary adjustment which you may have to fine tune later by using the pointing menu on the TV. You may do a fine tuning for the elevation angle by following the peak signal level on your screen later on once all three points have been followed. PART 1 · English C- Azimuth: Finally obtain the area's azimuth angle of the chosen satellite, on the lists in this manual, Point the antenna in a generally southerly direction, then, by using the compass rotate to the right or the left towards south on your compass (180°). All of the European satellites are located to the south, there will be a minor difference in the azimuth angle from one satellite to another. Once you have selected the chosen satellite on your receiver follow the signal strength on the screen by fine tuning the azimuth and rotating the antenna very slowly "to the right" or "to the left" in order to receive the highest signal level from the satellite. You should be able to find the satellite signal first and then the signal peak, indicated on your screen. Once you sweep through the peak-signal point on the screen, mark the position with a pencil and screw in your angle bracket to fix the antenna in this position. The signal level and quality is indicated on the TV screen and will fluctuate and change colour according to the adjustment & movement of the antenna while you are pointing & finding (azimuth, elevation and Skew angle). The level indicates the power of the signal and the colour is the signal reception quality from the chosen satellite. Once fine tuning is complete, and the signal is at its peak level with a good quality, you can stop adjusting the antenna. 8 PART 1 · English In order to watch Canal+ through ASTRA1(19. 2 East) from the city `Brest' of France, you will see Skew angle at -19. 7, Elevation angle at 30, and Azimuth angle at 149. 6 (in reference to the angle table on the back page of this manual) English < SKEW > < Elevation > < Azimuth > 3. 5 Optimum Pointing & Finding the Signal (with Attenuation Thin Pad) Use of Attenuation Thin Pad simulates bad weather conditions causing a signal loss and aids antenna positioning to receive an optimum signal in all weather conditions. Optimum pointing and finding to gain the best signal is only possible after passing through chapter 3. 4 Step 4. Please affix Attenuation Thin Pad back onto the face of antenna cover and you may start repeating to make adjustment of Skew angle, Azimuth, and Elevation as done the same in chapter 3. 4 Step 4, again to achieve the maximum and optimum signal level. Once completed, remove the Attenuation Thin Pad (keep pad in a safe place to use in future for portable use) ensure that all the screws are well tightened to avoid the antenna moving position. Note: During heavy cloud coverage or rainfall, the reception of signal level tends to weaken and in some cases the signal level will not be possible by the use of Attenuation Thin Pad. So during bad weather, you are recommended to skip step 6 for a use of Attenuation Thin Pad Attenuation Filter SLIMSAT Keep this Filter for the First installation and Pointing 9 PART 1 · English 4. 0 TROUBLESHOOTING CHECK LIST FOR INITIAL INSTALLATION If the signal is not found, be sure the receiver user manual and the antenna user manual have been followed closely, check the following: n Make sure all cable connections are correct and each connection is seated / tightened properly.
