9 Operating a rotary antenna installation
(DiSEqC 1.2)
Your digital receiver is ready to operate a motorised rotary
antenna installation The DiSEqC control function (DiSEqC
level 1.2) allows you to control a suitable motor via the co-
axial cable.
> Call up the menu Antenna settings as described
under Point 6.4 (Fig. 9-1) and switch the DiSEqC
control (Point 6.4.1) to on.
> Now use the up/down arrow keys to select the
DiSEqC position (e.g. A/B 3) to which you wish to
allocate the motorised antenna.
> Press OK to open a window allowing you to select a
Satellite resp. the option Motor antenna. (Fig. 9-2)
> Use the up/down arrow keys to select the line Motor
antenna and confirm by pressing OK.
> Confirm the screen prompt (Fig. 9-3) regarding the
setting or Eastern and Western limits by pressing OK.
9.1 Eastern and Western limits
To avoid potential mechanical damage to the dish antenna or
the LNC by any obstacles, you must first determine the
maximum range of movement/rotation in both an easterly and
westerly direction. If there are any obstacles within the
rotating range of the antenna, such as walls or
chimnies,these must definitely be considered when setting
the easterly and westerly limits.
If there are no obstacles within the rotating range of the dish,
then set the limits of the rotation in such a manner that the
dish can move a little further than is strictly speaking required
to receive signals from the most extremely positioned
satellites.
9.1.1 Deleting existing limits
You should first of all delete any existing limit settings.
> Use the left/right arrow keys to mark the column
LNC test.
> In the line Motor antenna use the up/down arrow
keys to mark the field Continue.
> Confirm by pressing OK.
The menu for setting the motorised antenna will now
be displayed. (Fig. 9-4)
> Press the yellow function key Actions to open an
additional window. (Fig. 9-5)
> Now use the up/down arrow keys to mark the line
Delete limits.
> Confirm by pressing OK to transfer the action selected
to the green function key.
