15 Select Satellites
Follow these steps and refer to the flowchart in
Figure 39 to set up the system for a custom pair
of satellites from the antenna's library.
a. At "Set up satellite(s)," press the YES button
on the MCP's front panel.
b. At "Circular or Linear," press LIN.
c. At "Trisat Mode?," press NO.
d. At "Install A <SAT NAME>," press NEXT
until the display shows the first (primary)
satellite you want to select. Then press YES.
(See Appendix B on page 30 for a list of
available satellites.)
NOTE: If you don't find the satellite you want, you
can set up user-defined satellites. Refer to the
associated Application Note on the KVH Partner
Portal (KVH-authorized technicians only).
e. Repeat Step d to select the second satellite. If
you want to set up the antenna to track just
one satellite, select "None" instead.
f. At "Set Sat Switch Type," press AUTO for
automatic satellite switching (recommended)
or MANUAL for manual switching.
g. At "Set Lat/Long?," press YES.
TIP: You can determine approximate latitude and
longitude in Europe from the position grids provided
in Appendix C on page 31.
h. At "Latitude," use the - and + buttons to set
each digit of the vessel's latitude. Press Enter
to accept each digit.
i. At "Longitude," set the vessel's longitude.
j. After the antenna restarts, at "Skew Angle,"
note the reported skew angle for future
reference. Then press OK. You will set the
LNB to this skew angle later.
k. Set up the receiver(s) for the same satellites,
and in the same order, that you set them up
in the antenna:
Antenna Receiver
Sat. A Alternative 1 or A
24
Sat. B Alternative 2 or B
