how to setup a satellite dish (part2)
B) Preparation:
Assemble your dish in strict accordance with the installation instructions. You need then to mount the fixing bracket vertically. So you need to find a wall that will allow you to fix the dish, and move it sufficiently from side to side.
Because the dish provides an important wind resistance, the fixing system must be firmly anchored in the ground or into a wall.
Installation:
The installation of the fixing bracket:
- make a hole with the drill,
- put the dowels,
- put the fixing bracket,
- set screws,
- keep it strictly vertical.
In the presence of a classical wall, use a hammer drill equipped with concrete forest. And ankles are placed and the mast is securely fastened.
The installation of the dish:
The dish is then placed on the bracket loosely so as to rotate at least 20 ° on both sides.
The adjustment of the elevation:
- Define the degree of elevation depending on your location and the chosen satellite.
- Report the degree of the scale on the side of the dish.
- Tighten the nut.
Horizontal adjustment:
- Use our tool to find the satellite’s direction and point the dish to it.
- Tighten the mounting without the block because the antenna will still rotate when the head precisely to the selected satellite.
The coaxial cable:
- This requires a pre-mounted sheet F at the end of your cable.
- Strip the cable of 13 mm without touching the braid that falls under the sheath.
- Delete the visible part of the copper foil shielded cables.
- Fold the braid back and wrap it around the cable sheath. The inner cable that appears consists of a new sheath surrounding a copper wire. Strip the inner cable to expose the copper wire.
- Insert the plug into the cable through the side opposite the nut.
- Visser. The braid must be taken between the sheath and the stem of the plug.
- Pushing the body of the plug the son of the braid that could still pass. The braid must never touch the copper wire.
- Connect the coaxial cable to the LNB by tightening the plug without excess. The installation of this card is extremely important because it affects the operation of any facility and largely determines the quality of the image.
Adjusting the antenna:
- You now need to settle your antenna. If you are not for the TV screen, use a small portable receiver and place your receiver as close to the antenna. It is also possible to use a controller field.
- Connect your TV and your receiver to the mains. Do not switch on until you run the connections.
- Connect your receiver to your TV using the scart lead.
- Install a new card F at the other end of the coaxial cable and connect to your receiver.
- Turn on your TV and your receiver. Channels of your receiver is preset at the factory. You just have to position it on a channel that corresponds to one of the channels broadcast by the satellite you have chosen. You will find these channels in the user manual of your receiver. No specific adjustment is to be performed at the TV.
Finish:
It is advisable to protect the coaxial cable and the LNB with sealing caps.
- Connect the coaxial cable to the mast of the dish by keeping it flexible hose.
- To follow the planned route the cable to your receiver located closer to your user.
- Use jumpers or more of the glue. The use of staples is not recommended as they can by cutting the cable or by crushing it and even alter the signal cut.
- For the same reasons never to bend the cable at right angles to make but it curves. When the cable passes from outside to inside along a downward slope it must form a small loop so that water does not penetrate inside.
- Never block the air vents of your receiver. Avoid them large temperature variations and dust. Never place anything heavy on it and not allow water that can be reversed in the vicinity.
