4.6 Pointing and locating the Signal
Once you have installed the antenna in an open loop space and mounted the way you
want it to be the next step is to connect it all together. In order to be able to watch your
favorite satellite programs, you need to connect your satellite antenna to a receiver by a
cable. The cable between the antenna and the Satellite receiver should not exceed 30m
as it will decrease the quality of the signal.
The use of a long or bad quality cable and not isolated jacks can cause a loss of the signal
level, it would be preferable to use an RG6 Coaxial cable (HF 17VATC or 19VATC cable), in
order to minimize a signal loss.
Once all connected, turn on the TV and the
Satellite receiver. Select the Antenna Pointing
Menu on your set top box. This image shows the
Signal level and the screen you will see on your
TV. Do not forget to choose “LNB : ON” You will
need someone to stay in front of the TV to tell
you when the signal is “good” while you’re out-
side trying to adjust the antenna the best way
possible.
The signal level and quality is indicated on the TV screen and will fluctuate and change
colour according to the adjustment & movement of the antenna while you are pointing
& finding (azimuth, elevation and Skew angle). The level indicates the power of the sig-
nal and the colour is the signal reception quality from the chosen satellite.
Once fine tuning is complete, and the signal is at its peak level with a good quality, you
can stop adjusting the antenna.
