Operation
Azimuth = Compass direction.
Elevation = Tilt of dish up or down.
LNB = Receiving head where coax connects to.
STEP 1. Press the power button on the digital elevation meter (Fig B) & wind the dish up counter clockwise
to the correct elevation for where you are located (Fig A).55mm
Fig B 75mm
STEP 2. Find NORTH on a compass & rotate the BLACK arrow on the AZIMUTH DIAL to NORTH (Fig C)
STEP 3. Move the LOCK-UNLOCK Lever to the UNLOCK position & rotate the RED Dish Direction
Pointer to the correct Azimuth for your current location (Fig C).
STEP 4. Check to make sure that the elevation is still correct on the meter. (Fig B)
STEP 5. Turn on your TV & Satellite Decoder & bring up on the screen the Signal meters.
NB. All units are different & this will vary, consult your manual on the products you have.
STEP 6. Move dish left & right of its current position VERY SLOWLY until satellite quality or picture is acquired.
NB. It pays to start this process at 1 degree less than needed, then raise the dish in 1 degree increments
after each left & right movement. Keep checking Elevation Meter to make sure elevation is correct.
Special Notes: When you have satellite quality, adjust the dish up/down and left/right for the
strongest quality on the Signal Quality Meter Display.
STEP 7 . LOCK dish in place

Parking dish ready to travel
STEP 1. Set Lock-Unlock lever to UNLOCK position. (Fig C)
Fig C
STEP 2. Rotate the dish direction pointer to the rear of your vehicle.
(which should be the arrow between LOCK & UNLOCK, if installed correctly)
STEP 3. Set Lock-Unlock lever to LOCK position to keep dish in it's parked position.
STEP 4. Wind the dish down CLOCKWISE until it's folded right down onto the LNB Arm Cradle on top of
your vehicle. The Elevation Meter should now indicate that the dish is parked.
STEP 5. Fold winding handle away.
STEP 6. Visually check outside to make sure your NZSAT Wind-Up is folded down in the Park/Travel position.
IMPORTANT
NB. If you drive away with the dish still elevated at a speed
above 15km/h a WARNING ALARM will sound.
STOP and park dish correctly.
Disclaimer:
This is only as a backup! This should not be relied upon as normal
operating procedure is to park the dish prior to moving the vehicle.

Bad or faulty connection.
Faulty LNB.
2.Dish doesn’t rotate or rotate easily, or
doesn’t wind-up or wind-up easily.
Inspect dish on roof for signs of visible damage.
Cables may be binding/tangling while turning.
Contact your nearest NZSAT Wind-Up dealer.
3.Elevation Meter will not display anything.
No power getting to meter.
Powered ON

Assembly & Installation
Tools you will need:
38mm hole saw
Metric socket set
Metric Allen key set
Side cutters
Drill bit set
Phillips screw driver
Flat blade screw driver
Tape measure
Top quality adhesive/ sealer
Check what is suitable for the
roof of your particular vehicle.
NZSAT Wind-Up must be level for proper operation!
STEP 1. Determine a suitable position on the roof of your vehicle by measuring and using the dimensions and
template provided. (Roof surface and ceiling surface must be parallel to each other and also a flat surface
for ease of operation and installation).
STEP 2. Drill a 38mm diameter hole through the roof once you have confirmed where you will mount this item.
NB: Be careful not to drill through existing wiring, plumbing or other essential items within your vehicle.
We highly recommend the dish be mounted on the centre-line of the roof, however this is not essential.
STEP 3. Attach dish to main unit (Fig F).
STEP 4. Mount dish on roof in upright position then rotate
so that the dish is facing the rear of the vehicle.
Fig F
NB: Dish will point towards the back of vehicle when in the
Park/Travel position. Secure to roof using screws provided.
Fig E

STEP 5. The LNB Arm Cradle Bracket should be
mounted to roof 220mm from base plate of dish,
toward rear of the vehicle (Fig G).
NB: Apply adhesive sealer to screw heads,
coax access hole & edge of gasket under
mounting base. Fig G
STEP 6. Facing the front of the dish, the coax & sensor cable attached to the side of the feed arm. Measure
coax 700mm from 3rd hole down from LNB and secure coax 220mm in front of arrow. DO NOT CUT COAX.
Secure cable with suitable P-Clip here
STEP 7. After drilling a hole through the roof, feed the coax & sensor wires through into the vehicle,
then using the cable entry/cover plate (included) to cover the wires & hole, apply sealer under the lip
of cable entry plate and where cable enters roof. (Fig I)
STEP 8. Attach the plate to roof with
screws provided in the correct orientation
as indicated (Fig J).

INSTALLATION DETAILS FOR INSIDE VEHICLE
STEP 9. Install the ceiling plate. The lock - unlock lever must point toward the rear of the vehicle.
Be sure Lock - Unlock lever is pointing towards the rear of the vehicle and hole in
ceiling plate aligns with hole in the ceiling.
STEP 10. Refer to the ROOF THICKNESS CHART (on next page) for the correct length for the directional handle.
NOTE: Pipe or Tube cutter is recommended for cutting the directional handle.
This gives a square cut; a hacksaw does not.
NOTE: Be sure large and small keyways line up in the hub and directional handle!
STEP 11. Insert the directional handle in through hole and up onto the keyed shaft (only fits one way) this is
a great time to re-check the correct length and that the arrow points the same direction as the dish faces!
STEP 12. Place the Elevation Winding Handle onto hexagonal shaft with spring and
washer fitted with the spring and washer fitted.
CUTTING the HEXAGONAL SHAFT LENGTH
STEP 13. Flip down handle on the elevation winding handle to see hexagonal shaft,
mark the shaft at the inside bottom edge where it protrudes through the handle.
STEP 14. Remove the elevation winding handle and cut shaft, reinstall winding handle.
STEP 15. Re-Install the elevation winding handle and secure with screw.
CAUTION!
After INITIAL INSTALLATION, the antenna SHOULD ROTATE APPROXIMATELY 360°
FROM PARK POSITION.
The pointer on the DIRECTIONAL HANDLE should point towards the ARROW between
Lock/Unlock lever when its parked.
