Antenna Control
The following settings require highly specialised
knowledge and skills. If in doubt, you should have
this work carried out by an experienced professional.
Requirements:
The parabolic antenna must feature a control motor
which receives and uses the signal from the receiver.
The mechanical settings for the antenna must be
carried out correctly so that the satellites orbit can be
properly tracked. This is the only way to ensure that
the strongest possible signal is received.
In the "General Settings" menu, "6. DiSEqC" must be
set to ON.
The satellite receiver "knows" the position of each
satellite in relation to each other. As a result, it is
sufficient to select and find just one satellite in the
"Antenna Positioner" menu and set it to maximum
strength and store it. All other known satellites are
configured and stored using the calculate command.
You can of course search for new satellites – you
must only use menu items 1-4.
In the submenu "1 Set Limits", the physical limits are
set within which the parabolic antenna can move
without obstruction.
To do this, move the antenna as far east as possible and this position should be stored using "Set East
Limit". After this, the antenna moves westwards using menu item 1 and the west limit is set. If the
structural surroundings change, you can delete the limits and recreate them to match the new sur-
roundings.
Menu item "5 Reference Position" resets the antenna control motor to the delivery position (dead
centre).
NOTE:
If your motor does not have a motor, you can use the Antenna positioner menu to check the signal
strength.
