Adjusting The Satellite Antenna; Test Transponder/Lnc Configuration; Positioning Antenna Manually - TechniSat DigitMod S1 Operating Manual

> When you have completed setting the test transponder,
press Back to return to the menu for setting the rotating
antenna. The field for entering the orbital position is now
active.
> Use the numeric keys to enter the orbital position of the
user satellite, and confirm by pressing OK.
> Now press the OK key to indicate whether it is a westerly
(W) or an easterly (E) orbital position.
If the Geo-positioning function is switched On (Point 9.2), you
can now use the function Turn to sat (Point 9.4.1) to turn the dish
to the programmed user satellite position.
If the Geo-positioning function is switched Off, you must turn the
dish manually (Point 9.3.2.2) to the desired satellite position.

9.3.2 Adjusting the satellite antenna

To direct the antenna to the desired satellite resp. to determine
whether you can receive the desired satellite at the desired position,
a test transponder is available for each satellite.
It is the display of signal strength and quality provided by the test
transponder that makes an exact positioning of the dish antenna
possible.

9.3.2.1 Test transponder/LNC configuration

To change the data of a particular test transponder, proceed as
follows:
> Use the arrow keys to mark the field Current satellite
list.
> Press OK to open the satellite list.
> Use the arrow keys up/down to mark the satellite
position for which you wish to change the data.
> Confirm by pressing OK.
> Now use the arrow keys to mark the field LNC config.
and confirm by pressing OK.
The menu LNC settings will be displayed. (Fig. 9-12)
> In this menu, enter the data of the test transponder as well
as of the LNC used, as described in Point 6.4.3.
> Press the Back key to return to the menu for setting the
rotating antenna.

9.3.2.2 Positioning antenna manually

The optimum positioning for the desired position can be achieved by
means of the indicators for signal strength and signal quality, Position
the dish so that the maximum value is shown for both bars.
