Configuration – DVB & RF Search Mode Parameters
Search Method
DVB or RF search are selectable from the drop down window. DVB will search directly
on DVB-S1 or DVB-S2 carrier and lock on it. DVB is the option of choice to use when
searching for satellite. RF option will allow the user to base satellite searching and
peaking strictly on RF instead of DVB. This method of searching could be used when the
user is having a hard time finding the transponder data for a specific satellite, or if no
transponder data exists. The controller will then peak on the modem signal when the
satellite is found. RF search should be used as a last resort after DVB and or DVB with
reference satellite.
Full Search
Performs a full 360º Azimuth search for the desired Satellite. This process may take up
to 30 minutes to find and lock onto Satellite. Selecting
Full Search
will auto select
Override Compass
and set the AZ Window to 180 or any other value (60 and above)
depending on the Platform type. This value can be overridden to a more desirable range.
Override Compass
can be selected without selecting
Full Search
but this does not
hold true for the vice-versa.
Override Compass Checkbox
The Compass is pre-calibrated by a professional installer at the time of system
installation or come pre-calibrated from the compass manufacturer.
A number of factors can contribute to the iNetVu
®
compass to produce an incorrect
reading such as being parked in close proximity to a large metallic object. Should the
compass heading be inaccurate by more than 20 degrees, you may need to re-calibrate
or Restore it (Mount Dependent), or select “Override Compass” option. Ensure that you
are using a reliable alternate source to acquire the correct direction if such device is to
be used, otherwise overriding compass will suffice for incorrect compass reading.
