Level 2 

50% of the total (acceptable by the receiver) incoming power 
 

Level 3 

75% of the total (acceptable by the receiver) incoming power 
 

Saturation

If the installation distance is shorter 
than 50 meters in that case 
realignment is required which can be 
done with the device on the picture.

release the screws 

7.2

 

Pull the regulation nut perfectly to 
the front and fix it with the screws!
