1. Make sure that the antenna has a clear view of
the sky in order to receive satellite signals.
2. Turn on the receiver and the TV set. For details
about the use of the receiver and the TV set,
please refer to the relevant user manuals pro-
vided by the manufacturers.
3. To turn on the control unit, position the key (A)
to I: the antenna automatically communicates to
the control unit when it is ready and starts
searching for the selected satellite taking min.
20 seconds up to a max. of 2 minutes, accord-
ing to the boat’s movement.
4.
LANGUAGE SELECTION
: upon start-up, while
GLOMEX appears on the display, it is possible
to select the desired language (among Italian,
English, French, Spanish and German) by
repeatedly pressing key (C). To confirm selec-
tion, just turn off and on again the control unit
by means of key (A).
5.
SELECTION OF THE SATELLITE TO BE
SEARCHED
: repeatedly press key (C) for sat-
ellite selection, until the alphanumeric display in
its first line (B1) corresponds to the desired
choice.
The following satellites are the ones which can
be received with the device:
- ASTRA2 28.2°E
- ASTRA3 23.5°E
- ASTRA1 19.2°E
- HOTBIRD 13°E
- EUROBIRD 9°E
- SIRIUS 4.8°E
- THOR 1°W
- HISPASAT 30°W
After selecting the desired satellite, the antenna
immediately starts searching for the signal, indi-
cating it in the second line of the display (B2).
6.
SATELLITE SIGNAL SEARCH AND
TRACKING
: when the antenna has found the
satellite signal, this is verified and, in case of
success, the display shows “sat ok” (B2).
Sometimes it may happen that an antenna first
receives a different satellite from the selected
one (depending on position, transmitted signal
strength and weather conditions). In this case,
the NIT system check is negative and the
antenna immediately starts searching for the
selected satellite, taking into account the posi-
tion of the satellite just found. The control unit
saves the last satellite position selected on it
and, the next time it is turned on, it starts
searching for this last satellite position. When
the antenna is tracking, you can watch TV pro-
grammes and listen to the RADIO using a
receiver and a TV set (not provided).
7.
ENERGY SAVING FUNCTION
: when the boat
is moored and the movements are minimal, you
can activate the energy saving function that will
not only minimize electric consumption, but also
eliminate any noise coming from the antenna.
To enable this function, press key (C) once for
satellite selection (the display indicates the sta-
tus - enabled or disabled). To change status,
press key (C) again. When the function is ena-
bled, after about 2 minutes that the boat did not
move, the antenna stops in the position where
signal reception from the satellite is maximum.
A level decrease of the received signal or a total
shift of the boat of 6° in two minutes “wake the
antenna up” in order that it recovers the maxi-
mum receivable signal level.
