Aerial positioning

Pressing the

button calls up a submenu with functions

for adjusting the aerial and naming the stations and satellites.
The diagram below provides you with an overview.
These functions have already been explained in the chapter
"Basic Adjustment of the Polarmount Aerial".
Press the

button (for the first time).

The display indicates, for example:

In this menu option, it is possible to manually drive the aerial
between two set limits L 1 (East) and L 2 (West) by pressing
the

and

button, respectively.

Press the

button a second time. The display indicates,

for example:

When in this menu option, the numeric value of the reception
level is indicated. The resolution of this indication is much
higher than the bar display following the "SIGNAL" lettering
(at the right in the display). With the help of the level indicati-
on, it is possible to adjust the aerial by means of the

</>

buttons to optimum reception fieldstrength. (In the vicinity of
the maximum value, press the buttons only briefly).

Press the

button once again. The display indicates

Designating the satellite position and station

Through pressing one of the

MODE

ɶɶ

and

MODE

ʺʺ

buttons when you are in the aerial menu (

), you can

designate the satellite position: in degrees of EAST or WEST
direction. The display indicates, for example:

TIMER

I99

EAST

STEREO

SIGNAL IIIIIIIIIIIII

TIMER

o p ü +

I99

LEV

STEREO

SIGNAL IIIIIIIIIIIII

TIMER

o p ü +

I99

MAN

STEREO

SIGNAL IIIIIIIIIIIII

You can allocate a value between 99° East and 99° West by
means of the

button. In this way, you can allo-

cate the satellite position the number of degrees at which the
satellite stands in the orbit (see also section “Storing the
satellite position“).
This allocation has already been done at the factory for the
preprogrammed satellites. Prior to storing a position in
memory, the aerial must be directed exactly at the correspon-
ding satellite (as described further up).
The degree number of the satellite position is allocated the
actual pulse number of the motor. This makes sure that the
aerial is automatically driven into the correct position (pulse
number of the aerial motor) when selecting a programme
position.
If you press twice on one of the

MODE

buttons when in the MAN (manual aerial adjustment) or LEV
menu option, you can change or allocate a new name with the
help of the remote control handset. You can change the flas-
hing character on the display with the cursor buttons
