Keep the signal level display region
at approx 50% by reducing or increasing the
aenuaon.
An increase or decrease in the level can thus
be idened.
If aenuaon is acvated,
“ATT” appears on the display.
The adjustment wheel is very sensive.
In addion, use the “Aenuaon +/-”
buons.
3.3 Opmally align the antenna by
gentle turning and lng
The antenna is opmally aligned
when the signal strength cannot
be increased anymore.
It is oen possible to somewhat increase the
quality by turning the LNB in its retaining
clamp in small increments, known as skew
opmisaon (not necessary for Astra 19.2°).
1 Prepare the satellite dish
2 Start operang the Sainder
3 Adjust the satellite dish more precisely
4 Check the TV picture and remove the Sainder
4.1 Check the picture of a number of channels on your TV (if necessary, start a channel search)
It is most likely that the satellite dish is aligned towards a different satellite, if no channels or the
wrong channels are received. Some satellites are in close proximity to each other.
Check the Azimuth angle and adjust again.
4.2 Switch off the receiver/power supply
Firstly, separate the receiver from the mains to avoid short circuiting.
4.3 Fasten the satellite dish crosswise and remove the satellite finder from the signal path.
Finally, connect the supply cable to the LNB - job completed!
2.1 Connect the Sainder with the LNB
Use the coaxial cable that was included with
the product – connect the “LNB” connector
to the LNB output.
2.2 Connect the receiver/power supply
(receiver is o)
Connect the (receiver) supply cable to the
connector that is labelled “Receiver”
2.3 Switch on the receiver/power supply
The receiver now supplies the power
to the satellite nder – the satellite nder
starts.
The satellite nder potenally displays a reading,
oen 99% or 0%
Turn the adjustment wheel.
2.4 Aenuate the LNB background noise
Depending on the LNB type and background
interference radiaon, the satellite nder may
already display a reading even though a satellite
is not being located.
Before beginning the alignment, you must
aenuate the interference radiaon/back-
ground noise.
To do this, turn the lateral adjustment wheel or
press “Aenuaon” buons (ATT-), unl you
nd the threshold value and then adjust the
level to approx. 10%.
Now the satellite nder is ready to display
the satellite signals correctly.

3.2 Press the “Aenuaon +” or “Aenuaon -” buon, and carefully turn the adjustment
wheel (right) to keep the signal level bar in the middle (approx. 50%).
->Thus, there remains enough “leeway in the display” when adjusng to idenfy whether the
recepon is geng beer or worse.
If the display reaches approx. 99%, aenuate slightly again (buon/wheel) and adjust more
precisely.
Step 2: Roughly posioning the
satellite dish
You now need to align the antenna towards the
direcon in the sky
where the satellite is
expected.
Elevaon angle: Using the antenna
scale (back part)
Azimuth angle: align by compass
(E.g. smartphone/Sainder)
The dishes on neighbouring roofs
should serve as a guide.

Angle calculator
Rules of thumb:
1. Satellites that can be received in Europe are found in the South. The southern point corresponds
to 180° (E.g. use mobile compass).
Turn in a easterly direcon (to the le) or a westerly direcon (to the right) from this point. Astra 19.2° E
is located a few degrees to the east, so you therefore need to turn to the le (see Graphic 1).
2. It is also necessary to ensure that the antenna is adjusted to align with the correct elevaon angle.
Please ensure that no obstacles mask the view of the satellite. A clear view is absolutely essenal
(see Graphic 2).

Step 1: Determine the angle of the
satellites
It is necessary to know the approximate
posion on the horizon in order to quickly
align the antenna to the correct satellites.

the easy online calculator at

or scan the following QR code.

Antenna roughly aligned as described in step 1?
Satellite nder adjusted as described
in step 2.4?
3.1 Turn the satellite dish CAREFULLY right and le –
observe signal strength bar or buzzer volume
If the antenna is roughly aligned, the signal strength bar in the display goes up.
The aim is to nd the point with the max. signal level, but not to reach a certain numerical value (such as 99%).
