Aligment / Satellite dish orientation
• At the end of the step K, you will receive the reference channel ZDF on the television
screen. Do not go to step L (adjusting the alignment) if you do not receive it or if you
receive another channel.
1) Put the receiver on the Hotbird reference channel 0072 then display the signal indi-
cator
(8)
.
2) Launch a slow scan (for 20 seconds) a quarter of the way on the right, then a
quarter of the way on the left while pivoting manually the whole (satellite dish +
rotor) around the mast, while checking the level. If the level is not going up, screw
the nut 12b 1 round to increase the satellite dish incline and do the same manual
scan. Carry on as above by step of 1screw round followed by a scan until the level
increase. When you are on the right satellite, the image will appear in the bac-
kground. Adjust it to obtain the maximum in level and quality (bar the longest as
possible). In some area, it is normal that you will turn up to 20 times your nut, be
patient.
3) Block temporally all the nuts.
Warning
: the Tighten of the nut is enough to debase
the picture. Block the elevation by tightening the lock nut 12a.
Warning:
a too important tightening of the U-bolt 2e (schema 2 page 11), may break one
of the fixing clamp.
Checking
Before going to the final stage (the alignment) check that your installation looks like the
picture below.
