If the vehicle is not on supports during the search process and people are
moving around inside it, there is a risk that movement of the vehicle will mean
that the satellite is not found.
ALIGNMENT (SATELLITE SEARCH)
The antenna is aligned automatically. After the UFS 940sw has been switched on, the turntable
automatically moves to the last channel received and the associated satellite position (e.g. ARD/ASTRA).
This works because each satellite is automatically recognised by the turntable.
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):
The search starts automatically after
fi
ve seconds or if the
button was pressed previously.
The search may take a few minutes (generally about two minutes). You will
fi
rst see the following message:
As soon as the turntable has found the correct satellite, it saves this position. During this process you
receive no TV picture. The turntable will then perform an automatic
fi
ne adjustment (if the signal
level is suf
fi
cient, the satellite position will be saved immediately by the turntable). During the
fi
ne
adjustment you will for the
fi
rst time receive a TV picture, this however can still “freeze” during the
fi
ne
adjustment process - whether it does or not is system-dependent.
The set position (of the satellite that was found) is saved and the desired channel appears on the
TV screen.
You will see this display if the
CAP has already saved a
satellite position but because
for instance the location of the
vehicle has changed, the satellite
is no longer to be found at the
know/saved position.
You will see this display if the
CAP has not yet saved a satellite
position (e.g. after the CAP has
been reset or during the First
Installation).
