Motor Antenna Configuration - Nokia 1500S User Manual

First time installation

Motor antenna configuration

If you have an antenna motor to control your satellite antenna you must configure
the following settings.
• From the "Antenna/Satellite selection" menu select option 3 "Motor Antenna
Configuration" and press select.
Type of motor
• Select SATSCAN (ASTRA) if you have a Nokia SatScan motor.
• Select DiSEqC (Hotbird) if the motor that you have is controlled by DiSEqC com-
mands.
LNB type
• Select the correct LNB type for your configuration, e.g. "Universal".
LNB offset voltage
If the cable from the antenna is very long, the voltage to the LNB could be too
low to change the polarisation. You can increase the voltage to the LNB by 0.5 V.
Predefined ASTRA-/HOTBIRD-channel
• Select one of the predefined channels and adjust the antenna until a TV pic-
ture from the predefined channel is visible on the screen.
Adjusting the motor for ASTRA/HOTBIRD
To continue the installation you must now determine the angle to
ASTRA 1 or HOTBIRD. The motor and the antenna must be adjusted to-
wards the ASTRA 1 satellites at 19.2° East or HOTBIRD satellites at 13°
East as this is the reference setting. All other pre-programmed satellite
positions are oriented relative to ASTRA 1 or Hotbird.
You must also mount the antenna in a suitable location outdoors.
For more information, please read the separate installation instructions
for the SatScan or DiSEqC positioner.
East and West limit set-up
Note! You only have to set one or both of these limits if the antenna is prevented
from reaching its East/West limit positions. This could be the case,for example, if
the antenna is mounted too close to a wall or in any similar situation.
To set these limits, adjust the antenna using the cursor left/cursor right button.
• Firstly, move the antenna to the east limit.
• Then move the antenna to the west limit.
• Press select to confirm all settings and carry out the channel search procedure.
