Mounting the F-connectors
Note!
Attach the F-connectors while the receiving installation is disconnected from main power!
Please proceed with extreme care when installing the F-connectors, in order to avoid any functional
problems or even the destruction of the satellite receiver, which can result from incorrectly mounted con-
nectors. In addition to the text, please also see illustration 3.
•
Use a sharp knife to remove approximately 6 mm of the insulation at the end of the cable, cutting
down to the core cable. Please be careful not do damage the core cable.
•
Remove the extraneous section of shielding mesh.
•
Now remove 10 mm of the outer plastic mantle, in order to expose the wire mesh. Please ensure
that the wire mesh is not damaged.
•
Ensure that no wires of the shielding mesh are in contact with the core cable.
•
Now twist the F-connector carefully on to the cable, until the core cable is level with the front
rim of the F-connector. Then check once more that the wire mesh is not in contact with the core
cable. The F-connector is now correctly mounted.

Positioning the external unit
The positioning of the external unit should preferably be done with the aid of a calibration tool. Alterna-
tively, positioning can also be effected with the aid of the less expensive TechniSat SatFinder (Article No.
0000/3045). If neither of these aids is available, positioning can be carried out as follows, using a digital
receiver and a television set.
1.
Use a suitable co-axial cable to connect the LNB to the receiver.
2.
Connect the receiver to the television set, and set the receiver to a programme slot on which a
programme of the desired satellite can be received.
3.
Consult an AZ/EL table to determine the elevation angle for your location. For Example, the angle
fort he ASTRA 19,2° East satellite in the German town of Daun is 31,29°. As your external unit
incorporates an offset dish, the angle of elevation to be set is not the angle in the table, but an
adjusted angle which is calculated for the specific dish used. This is calculated as follows
Angle of Elevation – Offset angle = Angle to be set
