Connection of the cables
(Fig. 3 - 4)
1. Unscrew the knurled screw on the cable connection box
and lift the cover
2. Skin the cable
3. Open both the cable connection clamp and the strain
relief clamp inside the cover
4. Connect the cable and tighten the clamps
5. Screw the cover on the connection box
6. Lay the cable according to the local conditions so that
it cannot fl utter in the wind and chafe (use either cable
clamps or cable ties or insulating tape)
7. In order to avoid ingress of moisture in the mast or
brickwork, make a ‚water sack‘ with the cable (Fig. 4)
Antenna alignment
Align the antenna to optimum reception by turning it. If necessary, use an antenna signal meter. Choose any programme from
the TV set or signal meter for the antenna alignment. After fi nishing the alignment, tighten the wing screws on the mast clamp.
Indication of the reception of DVB-T signals
Kathrein antennas are pre-assembled to receive horizontally polarised signals. However, DVB-T signals are also transmitted in
vertical polarisation.
To receive DVB-T signals, turn the antenna in its longitudinal alignment to the transmitter rotated 90° counter-clockwise.
Observe the direction of rotation, as otherwise moisture can ingress in the connection box through the cable passage.
If the antenna was properly mounted, the cable outlet points slopingly down, and the Kathrein-writing is legible horizontally
aligned (Fig. 6).
Safety instruction:
For your own safety, it is recommended that you carry out the mounting steps specifi ed in the follow-
ing on solid ground and not on the rooftop.
Mounting steps
The following steps must be carried out in order to be able to mount the antenna on the mast so that vertically polarised signals
can be received:
1. Unfasten the mast clamp from the axle tube by loosening the clamping screw
2. Pull off the mast clamp
3. Turn the clamp 90° clockwise
4. Slide the mast clamp on the previous position onto the axle tube
5. Then tighten the clamping screws again
