To cope with this task, you must know how to set up a satellite dish.To do this, determine which antenna you will install and configure.They are fed and direct focal.Direct focal antenna has to be a little larger diameter, due to the fact that the converter obscures part of the antenna.If your region relates to the use of antennas with a diameter of 0.9 or 1.2 meters, choose an antenna offset.When setting up a satellite dish with a C-band is used C-band converter, and the registration and control of the properties of the signal indicates the frequency of 5150 NHz.
Orientation antenna
Before answering the question of how to set up a satellite dish, you need to choose a place for its installation.All antennas must be oriented to the south-east or south-west.If you are installing on the wall makes it impossible to orient it so that when the antenna is mounted on the roof.On the signal path should be no interference in the form of high buildings or trees.
On the Internet there is a table containing information on the orientation of the antenna to the selected satellite by the sun, you can use it to select the satellite, which then orient the antenna.
How to choose how to connect the antenna and satellite dish
antennas mounted on the wall, attached to a special bracket that holds the antenna and then from a wire cable that connects the converter and the receiver.The cable is usually the plant in the house at an angle, to prevent moisture from getting into the hole, which, in turn, is sealed.The cable must not be too long, it should not be compounds.This reduces the quality of the transmitted signal, it will be difficult to figure out how to set up a satellite dish so that the image quality was best if the cable transmits a signal unsatisfactory.
beginning of the installation of the antenna is the correct assembly of the C-band LNB on the antenna when the antenna is tuned satellite Yamal.It is responsible for strength and signal quality, and therefore for the extent to which the image quality will be.The converter can be either standard or modified, for example, such as "Agliana".Modified converter may provide a somewhat greater signal strength.
Set converter to the antenna
Before answering the question of how to set up a satellite dish, you need to install the converter, standard or combined.Combined converter signal level slightly decreases, so the diameter of the plates must be increased.To set up a satellite dish on the Yamal, is sufficient to establish a conventional converter C-band, only need to remember that the broadcast will go with him in C-band.The main body of the converter is a label showing what level (coefficient) of noise for this model.The smaller, the better the signal transmission.
The noise level is measured in Kelvin converters.The standard value of this indicator - 17 K, at least - 13 or 15K.For converters such as a gain index typically has a value of 65 dB.The feed to the antenna is an element that focuses the signal.It is different for offset and direct focal antennas.We need only install the irradiator, which suits this antenna, or a decrease in the signal level.
depolarization plate mounted on the antenna so that the pins waveguides are arranged on one side thereof.Then, set the converter, select the location in relation to the angle of inclination.A value of zero marked on the scale must be placed at the top.The angle of the converter to be zero.
To get the best signal quality, you need to slowly move the irradiator, watching his level.Also it can proceed with the converter, turning it and thus the tracking signal.The shift does not exceed a few degrees to one side or the other.When you get the best performance (at least 60% filled indicator on the screen), it can be assumed that the antenna is set up.
Directly setting the satellite antenna and the receiver takes a lot of time.Its gradual passage in detail in the accompanying instructions, and is certain parameters, depending on the type of antenna, satellite and your area (signal coverage).
