About Polarisation Setting
As supplied, the BAS 66 satellite antenna is mounted centrally on the turntable. In this position, the receiver still receives
signals from satellites whose orbit position deviates by 15° – 20° longitude from the satellite antenna alignment (typical
reception range)
1)
.
If the orbit position of the satellites deviates by more than 15° – 20° longitude, the polarisation setting of the satellite
antenna can be changed to improve reception. This is done by altering the mounting position of the satellite antenna.
We expressly draw attention to the fact that positioning the satellite antenna at a deviation of up to +15° or
up to –15° from the centre position makes sense only if a satellite to the far west or the far east is actually
preferred for reception.
If required, change the polarisation setting of the satellite antenna as follows:
●
+15° if the satellite is more than between 15° and 20° west of the preferred reception range
●
–15° if the satellite is more than between 15° and 20° east of the preferred reception range.
The overview below shows the recommended mounting position for selected locations and typical
satellites. This overview does not constitute a guarantee of reception of all channels from the satellites
listed here.
