Multi-feed
adaptor plate
d. Feed system (LNB)
The feed system(s) and instructions for their installation are
not included in the scope of supply of the parabolic antenna.
For more detailed information on their correct installation
please refer to the manuals supplied with the respective feed
system.
Using the
multi-feed adapter plate
on the carrier arm you
can install one, two or three Kathrein universal feed systems.
The markings on the adapter plate are as follows:
–
3
the installation position for
one single
feed system,
–
2
and
4
the installation positions for
two
multi-feed feed
systems at
3° – 4° satellite spacing
,
–
1
and
5
the installation positions for
two
multi-feed feed
systems at
6° satellite spacing
. With positions 1 and
5 occupied, a feed system can also be mounted in the
middle at position 3
(3 satellites at 3° spacing)
●
Example for the installation positions for a multi-feed
application with
3° – 4° satellite spacing:
Item 2
Item 4
ASTRA 19.2° East
EUTELSAT 16° East
ASTRA 23.5° East
ASTRA 19.2° East
EUTELSAT 16° East
EUTELSAT 13° East
EUTELSAT 13° East

EUTELSAT 7° East
Tip
For multi-feed applications the antenna should be
aligned towards the satellite which is transmitting the
weakest signal.
