Select DiSEqC 1.2
or
select USALS
according to your needs. Then please proceed to the
"Antenna Positioner" sub menu in the "Main Menu".
To position the antenna using the DiSEqC 1.2 method,
you will need to set the movement limits first. The reason
for this is to reduce the danger of the antenna coming into
contact with any obstructing object during the antenna
positioning operation.
When the movement limits are set, the antenna only moves within the limits specified.
Select "Set-up Limit" and then press the OK button.
Select "Move East/West". Use the button to move the
antenna to the East Limit position.
Select "Set East Limit" and then press the OK button to save
the East Limit you have set previously.
Select "Move East/West" again. Use the button to move
the antenna to the West Limit position.
Select "Set West Limit" and then press the OK button to
save the West Limit you have set previously.
Notes:
To disable the movement limits, select "Disable Limits" and then press the OK button.
To position the antenna at the center, select "Go to Reference" and then press the OK button.
Once the limits are set, locate the reference satellite.
From the "Antenna Positioner" screen, select "Select Satellite" and then use the buttons to
select the satellite.
Go to "Select Transponder" and select the TP with the strongest signal.
Select "Nudge East/West" and then use the buttons to move the antenna.
Find the position where the Signal is strongest.
When doing this, if the position of the antenna is well away from the target satellite, use "Move
East/West" in "Set-up Limit" to move the antenna first.
Alternatively, select "Nudge East/West" and then use the buttons to move the antenna.
Each time you press either button, the antenna will automatically find the satellite.
9.4 Antenna Positioner / DiSEqC 1.2
The "Antenna Positioner" function of this receiver enables you to use a motorized antenna to view
multiple satellites. Most motor antennas can be controlled by DiSEqC 1.2 technology, some of them
also can be used for USALS. This convenient function locates the desired satellite if the latitude /
longitude of the receiving place and satellite longitude are known.
For setting up such a system it is needed to set the DiSEqC menu item in the "General Settings"
menu accordingly:
Once the satellite is located, select "Store Satellite" and then press the OK button.
The position of the satellite is stored.
Notes:
If you select the stored satellite, the antenna moves in the direction of the satellite's position.
After locating a satellite, perform "Recalculation". This enables you to locate another satellite
automatically by using the currently selected satellite as a reference point. However, this only
provides an approximate position, so you will need to fine-tune the search.
Select "Recalculate Position" and then press the OK button.
When the message asking you to confirm your selection appears, press the OK button.
