Connection and start-up
The following section is specifically intended for the specialist dealer.
You only need to read this section if you are carrying out the
installation yourself.
You will find sample configurations in the section "Connection
examples".
First, carry out all installation work before connecting the receiver to
the mains power supply.
Refer to the information provided in the section "Safety instructions“.
Connecting receiver
Sat-IF connection
Connect the Sat-IF input of the receiver to the satellite receiving
system (satellite dish).
Use a coaxial cable with a standard F connector for this purpose.
If you need to fit the F-connector onto the cable, strip the cable
insulation as shown in the diagram and slide the F-connector onto the
cable, then turn it clockwise until it locks.
When fitting the connector, make sure that no wires of the shield braid
make contact with the inner conductor. This could otherwise cause a
short-circuit.
The quality of the reception signal depends on a good connection!
Preconditions for receiving signals
Make sure that your satellite antenna system is equipped with at least
one universal LNB to facilitate digital reception in the high band range.
Presetting of receiving system
The control signals for conventional receiving systems (satellite
dishes) are preset, i.e. 14/18 V for polarisation changeover and 22
kHz switching signal for LOW/HIGH band changeover on multifeed
reception systems.
The presetting will need to be changed in the installation menu, menu
item "DiSEqC," if UFO or tone burst switching matrices are used in the
receiving system.
Refer to the section "Installation menu, DiSEqC menu“ for this
purpose.
It is important that you observe the application information provided for
the matrix used.
