How to install the Tooway Ka-Sat satellite dish (v1; 17/07/11)
You need to know whereabouts in the sky your Tooway Ka-
Sat satellite dish has to point. Ka-Sat is positioned at 9° east of
south and you can pinpoint the exact position by looking up
this website:
http://finder.tooway-instal.com
You can either add in your address or zoom in on the map.
The site will give you the exact elevation and azimuth
(compass) for your address.
Find a suitable spot for your satellite dish … it can be
mounted on a wall or on the ground and doesn’t need to be
very high. We have a very useful site survey tool which is a
combined compass and inclinometer (available from our
shop)
The satellite dish is quite heavy compared to satellite tv
dishes, around 15 kg, so the fixings need to be substantial and
solid.
Assemble the satellite dish by following the diagrams in the
large chart that’s inside the carton and then mount the dish
onto the wall bracket or patio mount. Tighten the dish bolts
so that the dish can
just
move to the left and to the right. The
satellite dish az-el mount should be touching the mounting
pole as shown here.
Set the elevation of the dish to the figure that was calculated
for you using the Ka-Sat dishpointer tool in step 1. Make sure
that the elevation fixing bolts are loose and turn the elevation
adjustment bolt until the correct angle is reached. Note
where you measure the angle in the picture ... this one is set
to nearly 36°
