Aligning the antenna
The antenna must be exactly aligned towards the satellite in
respect of both the direction (azimuth) and also the inclination
(elevation). For multi-feed applications the antenna should be
aligned towards the satellite which is transmitting the weakest
signal.
a) Setting inclination (elevation)
• When adjusting the inclination (elevation), please observe the
scaling on the right side of the mast
fi
xing, as seen from behind
(see graphic on the right).
• Loosen both screws on each side of the mast
fi
xing to modify the
elevation of the antenna.
• Now adjust the
inclination
(elevation) respective the arrow –
you will

nd the exact elevation angle for your location in the
azimuth/elevation table at the end of this manual. If your location
is not listed in this table, use the nearest listed location as your
reference.
• Tighten the four screws on the mast
fi
xing,
fi
ne adjustment of the
elevation must be undertaken later.
b) Setting the direction (azimuth)
If you yourself are unable whilst performing the adjustments
to read the results of the alignment work on an
antenna meter
or
screen
connected to the satellite receiver, you may need an
assistant for the following steps. The precise alignment of the
antenna can be achieved only if a digital antenna meter is used.
Ask your dealer about this.
• Set the satellite receiver to a known channel so that you can
verify that you have really “locked on” to the desired satellite.
• Now slightly loosen the wing nuts on the mast clamp.
•
Twist
the antenna so that it faces roughly south. Then slowly
twist the antenna about its central axis to left and right until the
best reception is obtained for the selected channel.
• Then tighten the
wing nuts
initially just enough to prevent the
antenna from turning.
