About this guide
This guide provides a step-by-step procedure to install the HELLAS SAT terminal (consisting of the
antenna and the IPmodem).
Before installing
Before starting to install the antenna, it is important to read the following sections:
- Safety precautions (page 5)
- Material provided in the box (page 7)
- Material you need to provide yourself (page 9)
Follow the entire procedure
When installing the antenna, it is important that you follow the entire procedure step-by step.
When pointing the antenna, you may need to repeat the steps from the section Rough pointing:
horizontal (azimuth) (page 36) onwards to obtain optimal signal reception and transmission.
Related documentation
When installing the satellite dish, you will need to refer to the following documents:
- The Antenna Pointing Information document, which contains the geographical pointing data
(booklet included in the box);

Safety precautions
This section lists the safety precautions to follow when installing the antenna.
Safety precautions are grouped into warnings and cautions.
Local regulations
Always install the HELLAS SAT antenna in accordance with local regulations.
Warnings
A warning refers to an action or situation that could result in injury, long term health hazard
or death if you do not follow the instructions.
Antenna
- RF radiation hazard: The area between the antenna reflector and the iLNB feed horn exposes
hazardous electromagnetic field levels during transmission. Do not place your head and/or body
in that zone while the system is operational. Take the necessary precautions to prevent access
to the antenna by children or unauthorised persons.
IPmodem
- There are no user-serviceable parts in the IPmodem. There are potentially lethal voltages inside
the equipment. It should only be opened by a technician trained and certified to service the
product.
- When the IPmodem is powered on, DC voltages are present on the rear panel Tx and Rx
connectors.
- Do not expose the IPmodem to rain or moisture to prevent fire or shock hazard. Do not expose
the IPmodem to dripping or splashing and do not place any objects filled with liquids, such as
vases, on it.
- Postpone antenna and IPmodem installation until there is no risk of thunderstorm or lightning
activity in the area.
- To prevent electrical shock, if the unit is provided with a polarized plug, do not connect the plug
into an extension cord, receptacle or other outlet unless the plug can be fully inserted with no
part of the blades exposed.
- Connect the in-line power supply input power cord to a properly grounded three-prong AC
outlet. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from the plug.
- Do not use the in-line power supply power cord when damaged in any form.

Cautions
A caution refers to an action or situation that could result in equipment damage or
destruction if you do not follow the instructions.
IPmodem
- Always use the in-line power supply with the IPmodem. Using a different power supply may
cause equipment damage.
- To ensure regulatory and safety compliance, use only the provided power and interface cables
or cables which conform to the specifications within this manual.
- Do not open the unit. Do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the installation.
Refer all servicing to qualified service professionals.
- Avoid damaging the IPmodem with static, by first touching the coaxial cable connector when it
is attached to the earth grounded coaxial cable outlet. Always first touch the coaxial cable
connector on the HELLAS SAT IPmodem when you are disconnecting or re-connecting your
Ethernet cable from the HELLAS SAT IPmodem or your PC.
- To prevent overheating, do not block the ventilation holes on the sides and top of the unit.
- Only wipe the IPmodem with a clean, dry cloth. To avoid equipment damage, never use fluids
or similar chemicals. Do not spray cleaners directly on the unit or use forced air to remove dust.
- Install an AC surge arrestor in the AC outlet to which the IPmodem is connected. This will avoid
damage to the equipment by local lightning strikes and other electrical surges.
Point&Play™ tool
- Ensure that the volume of the Point&Play™ tool is not set too loudly, otherwise damage to your
hearing may occur.

2 Setting up the antenna
Assuming you already have a solid base (made of concrete, or firmly attached to a wall), installing
the antenna includes the following steps:
Step 1 - Choosing a suitable location (page 12)
Step 2 - Mounting the antenna pole (page 13)
Step 3 - Mounting the antenna (page 14)
Step 4 - Fixing the antenna cabling (page 21)
Step 5 - Pointing the antenna (page 29)

Setting up the antenna
Version 1.2 - May 2008 HELLAS SAT Point&Play Setup Manual - page 12
Step 1 - Choosing a suitable location
Outdoors: antenna
- When setting up the antenna base, take account of the orientation the antenna must have.
Orientation data are available in the Antenna Pointing Information document.
- The antenna needs a clear view towards the satellite (without any buildings, trees... that may
hinder the signal).
- To connect the antenna to the IPmodem, you will use coax cable. You can use the provided
coax cable or a coax cable with the same specifications.
- The coax cable connecting the antenna to the IPmodem must not exceed 30 meters. The coax
cable included in the box is 30 meters long.
About your HELLAS SAT Terminal
For more information on the HELLAS SAT Terminal, refer to the section Getting to know your
HELLAS SAT Terminal in the Manual for HELLAS SAT terminal (available on the cd included in the
box).
Indoors: IPmodem and computer
Put the IPmodem in a dry room.
Indoors, you will need to connect the IPmodem:
-Totheantenna (with the coax cable);
-Toyourcomputer (with a network cable). You can use the network cable provided in the box
or a cable of your choice (for example if you need a longer cable to connect the IPmodem to
your computer);
-Toawall outlet (with the power adapter provided in the box).
Power adapter specifications: universal input range 100-240 Volt, 50-60Hz.
These steps are described further in this document.

Step 2 - Mounting the antenna pole
When fixing the antenna pole on the base, use a spirit level to make sure the antenna pole stands
upright.

Version 1.2 - May 2008 HELLAS SAT Point&Play Setup Manual - page 14
Step 3 - Mounting the antenna
1Insert the 2 brackets in the masthead (as shown).
2Use the 2 pole clamps and nuts to attach the masthead to the pole.
-If the pole is low enough, you can first assemble the masthead, brackets and clamps and
slide the assembly over the antenna pole.
-If the pole is too high or does not have an open ending, you will have to fix the masthead
around the pole.
-Do not attach the clamp too tightly as you will need to adjust it later on, but make sure the
clamp is attached tightly enough to prevent it from sliding down the pole.

Setting up the antenna
HELLASSAT Point&Play Setup Manual - page 15 Version 1.2 - May 2008
-Make sure the masthead is already pointing in the general direction of the satellite. To do
so, use the pointing data available in the Antenna Pointing Information document.
-Make sure to attach the masthead upright to the pole.
