Kathrein UFD 170 - Manual (Page 64)

Alignment (Satellite Search)
64
The antenna is aligned automatically. After turning on the UFD 170,
the turntable automatically moves to the last channel received and the
associated satellite position (e.g. ARD/ASTRA).
This works because every satellite emits its own identifi cation signal,
which is automatically identifi ed by the UFD 170.
The satellite search is started when you select a channel. If the
turntable has not yet saved the position of the satellite, you will see the
following display when you select a channel (example):
As soon as the turntable has found the correct satellite, automatic
fi ne-tuning is carried out. The search lasts a maximum of 90 seconds
(if the signal level is suffi cient, the satellite position is immediately saved
by the turntable unit). The screen may “freeze” during fi ne tuning - this
is determined by the system.
If the vehicle is not on supports
during the search process and
people are moving around inside
it, there is a risk that the satelli-
te is not found due to the move-
ments of the vehicle.
Press the

button to start search mode.
The search lasts a maximum of 380 seconds. You will fi rst see the
following message:
If the satellite is found, it is saved
by the turntable and no search
is necessary the next time the
programme is selected.
