from the front and the contact between the shielding and the metal of the plug is optimal.
Please Note:
Tangled shielding wires inside the connector can cause short circuits!
2.
Connect the two LNBs and the DISEqC switch with two separate coaxial cables. Please use the enclosed
rubber bushings to protect the connectors for external mounting. Lay another connection cable to the
receiver.
TIP:
If you are using a digital receiver, the signal strength is shown in the menu of the receiver when you
connect the coaxial cable.
When you have successfully fine-adjusted the dish, you can complete the assembly process.
We recommend that you attach the antenna cables to the feed arm using weatherproof adhesive table or
cable ties to secure the coaxial cable for external mounting. Turn the cable generously around the
parabola antenna or make a little loop.
This prevents cable damage.
TIP:
If there is no cable shaft, u-shaped nails are an inexpensive solution for attaching the coaxial cable
to the wall.
TIP:
AZIMUTH (horizontal swivel), ELEVATION (vertical swivel)
When you have made the optimal horizontal adjustment using a compass, azimuth/elevation table and a
SAT level meter, loosen the screw(s) for vertical adjustment. Tilt the dish upwards until the receiver
indicates a clear signal. If the receiver still does not have an optimal signal, you must repeat the horizon
tal/vertical adjustment until a corresponding signal is indicated. To complete the configuration, all
fastening screws must be tightened, so the dish cannot be moved by mechanical influences.
Check your receiver to see whether the TV reception for a station is ok. We recommend doing this for the
channel in the pre-programmed station list with the strongest signal. Use the signal strength menu for digital
satellite receivers as a countertest. Remember that this display is slow to react, so allow some time for it to
change.
You can then exit the signal strength menu and browse through the stations to test the signal. If all settings
are correct, the reception of all TV stations should be perfect. When you are happy with the reception, you
can finally tighten all screws of the satellite receiving mirror fully.
Still no picture?
Possible causes:
- Is the receiver power supply switched on and the connection between the LNBs, DISEqC and receiver
ok?
- Is the receiver sending/programming the wrong DISEqC command?
- Is the cable between the LNBs and the receiver ok (no short circuit in the F connector)?
- Is the rough direction correct (if necessary, measure with a compass)?

Step 5:
Fine adjustmentent
The receiver has been connected to the two universal single LNBs (fig. 1.5). A
compass, an azimuth / elevation table and a SAT level meter can be used for further fine adjustment.
In order to guarantee clear reception even when the weather is bad, fine adjustments must be made to the
dish before it is finally secured. Optimal reception, even in poor weather conditions, can only be guaranteed
when the dish is aligned properly.
Step 6:
Further installation/adjustment of the satellite system
1. Assembling the F connectors:
Attach the enclosed F connector to the end of the coaxial cable (Hama item number 29799) as shown in
figure 1.6.
Strip approx. 1.5cm of the external insulation and bend the shielding wires back. Shorten the shielding wires
somewhat, so that they do not protrude from the connector. Strip a further 0.6 com from the inner part. Take
the connector and thread it with the rear threads onto the stripped cable, so that the inner core protrudes
