Installation of the parabolic antenna
– Now hang the parabolic refl ector from the four securing
bolts on the carrier arm (see arrows in the diagram on the
right).
– Now lightly tighten the four bolts using a hexagon key
SW5 (do this by holding the hexagon key by the short
end, see diagram on the right).
– Now turn the hexagon key round. If you now swing the
long end of the hexagon key (see diagram on the right)
through about a quarter of a turn, the bolts will be tight.
If you have a torque wrench available, tighten the bolts to
about 4 – 5 Nm.
e.
Feed system (LNB)
Tip
For multi-feed applications the antenna should be
aligned towards the satellite which is transmitting the
weakest signal level.
Tip
The optimum performance of the satellite antennas
is only given in conjunction with the original Kathrein
LNBs, because this is the only way to ensure optimum
illumination of the refl ector.
The feed system(s) and instructions for their installation are
not included in the scope of supply of the parabolic antenna.
For more detailed information on their correct installation
please refer to the manuals supplied with the respective feed
system.
Using the
multi-feed adapter plate
on the carrier arm you
can install one or two Kathrein universal feed systems. The
markings on the adapter plate are as follows:
– 3 the installation position for one single feed system,
– 2 and 4 the installation positions for two multi-feed feed
systems at 3° – 4° satellite spacing,
– 1 and 5 the installation positions for two multi-feed feed
systems at 6° satellite spacing.

application with
