Connecting The Satellite Antenna - TrekStor SatCorder Neptune Operating Instructions Manual

You can align the satellite antenna using a measuring device or using your television and SatCorder.
a) Connect the receiver to the LNB using a suitable coaxial cable.
b) Connect the SatCorder to your television. On your SatCorder, set a program that can be received
via the satellites being set (e.g. the program ARD in Germany for ASTRA 19.2E).
c) Adjust your satellite antenna according to the inclination being set. Many antennas already have
angle data on their mounts; otherwise, use an angle gauge to align.
d) To align the azimuth angle, turn your antenna slowly to the right or left until your SatCorder receives
a television picture. For the fine adjustment of the antenna setting, use the bar display for signal
strength and signal quality.
e) When you have found the maximum signal strength and quality, fix all the screws of your satellite antenna.
Now, as described in the "c
according to your preferences.

2.2 Connecting the Satellite Antenna

Please note: Do not connect your SatCorder to the power supply yet!
In case of a single subscriber installation, please connect your SatCorder and the universal LNB of the
satellite antenna with a coaxial cable on whose end an F-plug has been mounted. This is screwed into
the LNB in port of your SatCorder.
In case of a multi-subscriber installation, please use the coaxial cable to connect your SatCorder with
a multiswitch.
In the following, you will find information regarding important technologies for satellite systems. If
your LNB supports these technologies, you can use your SatCorder optimally.

system for controlling several satellite positions via several LNBs or complex motorized satellite systems.
Various versions of the standard exist with various scopes of function. The satellite positions are set via the
various switching states. Depending on the DiSEqC version, four or more states are possible.
Unicable technology: Using Unicable, several satellite receivers can be supplied with an unlimited
variety of programs via a common cable to the satellite antenna. This is possible since the coaxial cable
does not carry the entire intermediate frequency band, but rather only the transponder required for the
selected program. Every satellite receiver makes its individual program selection for the LNB using special
control signals (DiSEqC). This means lower cabling costs for apartments to be equipped with satellite
television since the antenna socket can be connected in series.
