User manual METRONIC ANTENNE EXTERIEURE UHF-VHF EXTRA PLATE QUICK GUIDE

[. . . ] When the level is going up a bit, stop the rotation to check if the quality level increases. 5 - Step by step rotation If your receiver has the step-by-step rotation, you will be able to adjust accurately the motor position. If it is not the case, try to reach as precisely as possible the desired angle with a continuing rotation. It is useful to keep the degree order precision. 6 - Give a number to a satellite Check in your receiver user manual how to associate a number to each satellite. If it is not possible, leave the existing number system. 7 - Store a satellite position This function is generally called memorised, store, saved. . . 8 - Display the signal indicator Generally, the signal indicator appears when pressing on the INFO key. [. . . ] An error bigger than 1 degree (2 cm, or 3/4 inch per meter) from the vertical will preclude the motor for working properly. While assembling the part (2) with the body, pay attention to the washer (3) : the part labelled «down» must be placed on the bottom, as shown on the picture. · Once the motor is assembled, do not fix it straight away on the mast or the stand off arm, some operations needs to be done near the receiver first. 0 208 994 1181 8 2 (3) (2) (1) (4) (3) 9 0 208 994 1181 Angle adjustment Look at the Europe map (diagram 3) and find your elevation angle in relation to the horizontal line. For example, about 31, 5° for Glasgow, 38° for Bordeaux and 39, 5° for Napoli, 34, 5° for Brussels. Be sure to read the angle on the side labelled «ELEVATION», not on the side labelled «LATITUDE» Example for Brussels 0 208 994 1181 10 3 Inclination and angular reading for Hotbird 3 11 0 208 994 1181 D Connection For the installation you will need 2 pieces of cable. The first one, roughly 1, 5m (5ft) to go from the LNB to the motor, the second one as long as it takes to go from the motor to the receiver. Prepare the cables and assemble the "F" plug at the end of the cable. Respect the dimension indicated on the diagram 4; the plug must screw on the aluminium foil rolled up on the outer sheath. Make sure that none of the braid strand is in contact with the central core of the cable. Put the motor near the receiver, on a table or on the floor, and connect the receiver LNB input to the Motor RECEIVER output with the 1, 5m (5ft) cable, then switch on the receiver. 4 0 208 994 1181 12 5 receiver E Reset the motor and checking of the stop The reset of the motor is to reset its position, and put it at 0°, which means face south. · The motor will reset while looking for his reference position. If the level is not going up, increase the satellite dish incline of 2° and do the same manual scan. Carry on as above by steps of 2° followed by a sweep until the level increase. When you are on the right satellite, the image will appear in the background. Adjust it to obtain the maximum level and quality (bar as long as possible). In some area, it is normal that you will turn up to 20 sweeps, be patient. 3) Block temporally all the nuts. (8) Go to corresponding paragraph page 4 and 5 19 0 208 994 1181 L Orientation adjustment · Put the receiver on the Atlantic Bird 3 reference (1) channel. This satellite doesn't broadcast popular or interesting channels. However, its position in the sky makes it an interesting one for dish and motor alignment. · Check in diagram the Atlantic Bird 3 angular reading of your geographical area. · Give (6) a satellite number to Atlantic Bird 3 (put 01 in case of hesitation). · If the motor does not stop at the right value, bring it with a continuing research (4) or step by step (5). [. . . ] In that case, the design curve of the motor is out of line with the real curve. We then advise you to go back to the step K while putting 2° more for the Hotbird position in your area. If the result is not good, try 2° less. Angular reading for Atlantic Bird 3 21 0 208 994 1181 M Validation of the satellites For each satellite, you have now to storethe right position in the motor. The operation is done for Hotbird and Atlantic Bird 3, you have to do it for Astra, etc. [. . . ]
