B- Elevation Angle - SELFSAT H10D User Manual

B- Elevation Angle :

Then obtain the Elevation angle according to the area location of the chosen satellite on
the lists in this manual. Then move your antenna up or down according to the angle, you
may use the graduated surface of the bracket in order to make sure that you are on the
right position. Once achieved, tighten your elevation nuts on the Angle Bracket (B2), this is
a preliminary adjustment which you may have to fine tune later by using the pointing menu
on the TV. You may do a fine tuning for the elevation angle by following the peak signal
level on your screen later on once all three points have been followed.
C- Azimuth :
Finally obtain the area's azimuth angle of the chosen satellite, on the lists in this manual,
Point the antenna in a generally southerly direction, then, by using the compass rotate to
the right or the left towards south on your compass (180°).
All of the European satellites are located to the south, there will be a minor difference in the
azimuth angle from one satellite to another.
Once you have selected the chosen satellite on your receiver follow the signal strength on
the screen by fine tuning the azimuth and rotating the antenna very slowly "to the right" or
"to the left" in order to receive the highest signal level from the satellite.
You should be able to find the satellite signal first and then the signal peak, indicated on
your screen. Once you sweep through the peak-signal point on the screen, mark the
position with a pencil and screw in your angle bracket to fix the antenna in this position.
The signal level and quality is indicated on the TV screen and will fluctuate and change
colour according to the adjustment & movement of the antenna while you are pointing &
finding (azimuth, elevation and Skew angle).
The level indicates the power of the signal and the colour is the signal reception quality
from the chosen satellite.
