Operation
Use with a Satellite Receiver
1. Connect the LNB (low noise block converter, also LNC) or a
multi-switch output by means of the enclosed F-connection ca-
ble (B) to the TO LNB socket on the sat finder (A).
2. Connect the antenna input of your switched-off sat receiver to
the TO REC socket on the sat finder (A). Warning, short-circuits
at the receiver output can damage the unit.
3. Switch on the sat receiver. The scale illumination on the sat
finder is now switched on. From the LEDs (A3+A4) you can read
the currently set level (also see page IV).
4. Turn the damping control (A2) at the start to position 6 to ensure
maximum sensitivity of the input. If a strong signal is already
available, adjust the control in such a way that the display indi-
cator (A1) points to 5.
5. Adjust your satellite mirror by means of the enclosed magnetic
bearing compass (E) to the position of the desired satellite. The
signal tone will help you with this. Position and elevation values
of the satellites can be found in the appropriate specialist maga-
zines and on the Internet sites of the satellite operators.
6. Now start the fine adjustment by adjusting the mirror horizontally
and vertically until the displayed value has reached its maxi-
mum. When the maximum value is reached, set the controller to
such a setting that the indicator points to approximately 5. Re-
peat the fine adjustment until you achieve the maximum result.
7. If necessary, also carry out the steps described above for differ-
ent directions of polarisation (horizontal / vertical), as well as for
the lower and the higher band (low-band/high-band). The choice
of polarisation level and the adjustment of the 22 kHz signal
(high-band) has to be made by you at your sat receiver. To do
this, please refer to your receiver's operating instructions.
8. Once you are satisfied with the settings of your device, please
first switch your sat receiver off and then remove the cable from
