The AcuTrac®22is designed to be an aid in aligning satellite antennas so that they can
provide maximum performance. Please be aware of the fact that there are numerous
satellites which will cause the AcuTrac®22 to respond with a signal reading. The
installer must select the correct satellite(s) for alignment. It is quite easy to select the wrong satellite and find that the
satellite receiver indicates “No Signal”. The software provided with the satellite receiver can provide the elevation
and azimuth of the satellite(s) desired. With this information in-hand and a good compass you can point the antenna
in the proper direction. Then, with the aid of the AcuTrac®22, the performance of the antenna can be maximized by
watching the tuning bar and digital strength readings.
Please take time to read this instruction manual so you will be familiar with the capabilities of the AcuTrac®22.
Operation
Connect the satellite receiver or (optional) battery to
the AcuTrac®22. If you have connected a satellite
receiver, the AcuTrac®22 will power up
automatically, If you are using a battery, press the
“
O N / M E N U
” b u t t o n . T h e A c u Tr a c ® 2 2 i s
immediately ready to begin antenna alignment. The
signal strength is indicated in digits just above each
bar graph. As you move the dish, you will see the
increase and decrease in signal strength. The objective is to maximize the signal reading on both bar graphs by minor
azimuth, elevation and rotation adjustments. When you have maximized the readings, lock the mount bolts. Re-
attach the LNBs to the switches or cables provided with the antenna. Then check your efforts with the satellite
receiver.

LNB1 38.5 T
LNB2 42.5
An audible tone is available if you would prefer listening to the AcuTrac® rather than trying to watch the digital
readings or bar graph. The audible tone is selectable and applies to only one LNBF at a time.
To use the tone capability, start from the default
signal sensing mode. (Right)
Press the “
OFF/DOWN
” button once. The tone will
begin and the letter ‘T’ will appear above the top bar
graph. This indicates that the tone applies to the top
LNB reading.
To apply the tone to the bottom LNB, press the
“
OFF/DOWN
” button once more. The ‘T’ will appear
above the bottom bar graph and the tone will apply to
that LNB. To cancel the tone, press the “
OFF/DOWN
”
button one more time.
