Attention –
The Model Megasat Campingman TAS
(Twin Auto Skew) work full automatically
Do not work on the auto skew system
(only for engineer).
Signals transmitted in vertical(red) and horizontal(blue) wave offset exactly 90º from each
other. Since linear satellite signals are oriented in a precise cross pattern, Free Way 1S
antenna’s receiving element, called an LNB (low-noise block) must be oriented in the same
way to optimize reception. This orientation adjustment is referred to as the LNB’s “skew
angle.”
Figure 1-4
illustrates how skew determines the amount of signal the LNB collects.
The more signal, the better reception.
The correct skew setting varies depend on your geographic location, since the orient-tation of
your antenna to the satellite changes as you move. For complete details about adjusting the
LNB’s skew angle,
see “Appendix A – How to Set the Skew Angle”
