AZIMUTH
The Sat jointed mast tripod HDS 150 is used, when ”free visibility”
from the caravan or mobile home to the satellite is not possible.
Obstacles (e.g. bushes, trees, buildings etc.) must not obstruct the
imaginary line to the satellite, otherwise good reception is not
possible.
Scope of delivery:
Ȝ Sat jointed mast tripod
Ȝ 10 m coaxial cable, Ø: 5.8 mm
Ȝ Two F-connectors
Ȝ One F-coupling part
Antenna mounting site and cable laying
Ȝ Select a mounting site for your satellite reception system, where
you can align the antenna to the south and where no obstacles
obstruct the free visibility to the satellite.
Ȝ At the selected mounting site, the Sat jointed mast tripod with
the mounted planar antenna BAS 60 or BAS 61 should not put
you are others in danger.
Ȝ Ensure that the coaxial cable is laid in such a manner, that
nobody can stumble over it and injury themselves.
Mounting steps
Ȝ Open up the three-legged Sat jointed mast tripod. Attention!
Make sure that you do not pinch your fingers when closing the
tripod.
Ȝ Tighten the milled nut.
Ȝ Mount the planar antenna onto the jointed head. Loosen the
cross grip screw to set the azimuth, and align the antenna to the
satellite (south) by turning the jointed head.
Afterwards, lightly tighten the cross grip screw.
Ȝ Align the tripod vertically.
Cable
Ȝ Strip the cable according to the illustration. Screw on the
supplied connector, and connect the cable to the antenna. If a
cable longer than 10 m is needed, connect an additional cable
(not included in the scope of delivery) by means of the supplied
coupling part. Ensure that none of the fine wires of the shield
braid come into contact with the centre conductor of the cable
when fitting the cable to the connector. This leads to poor
picture quality.
Ȝ Lay and connect the coaxial cable from the planar antenna to
the television set.
Ȝ Switch on the receiver and the TV set, and select the
programme.
Azimuth/elevation setting
(Lateral alignment and elevation setting of the antenna)
Ȝ Obtain the elevation angle for your mounting site from the
supplied table and appropriately align the antenna by loosening
the cross grip nut on the jointed head. A graduation line on the
jointed mast complies with 10°.
Ȝ Loosen the cross grip screw on the shaft of the jointed head,
and adjust the antenna for picture reception by turning the
jointed head to the right and the left (azimuth).
Fine alignment of azimuth/elevation
Ȝ Repeat the alignment of the elevation and azimuth until the best
picture quality is achieved.
Ȝ Afterwards, tighten the cross grip screw and the cross grip nut.
We hope you have great reception!
