Preparations For Commissioning; Choice Of Location - Megasat Caravanman 65 Premium V2 Bedienungsanleitung

4. Preparations for commissioning

4.1 Choice of location

Objects such as trees, bridges and large houses located at the satellite's angle of incidence
cause the signal to be lost. Heavy rain, clouds, snow or ice can affect the reception quality.
If the satellite signal is lost due to severe weather conditions, the current program of the
receiver will be stopped (the image will freeze or disappear). When the weather conditions
allow good reception again, the TV picture will be restored (No new search process neces-
sary).
Good reception signal
4.2 Manual skew setting
Signals in vertical (red) and horizontal (blue) lines have an offset of exactly 90º to each
other. Due to the different positions of the satellites, depending on your location, it is
possible that the signals do not hit the LNB exactly vertically and horizontally. To adjust
this, you must place the LNB in the correct position to the transmitted signal. This ad-
justment to the LNB is called a „skew setting". The following figure shows the optimal
adjustment of the LNB. The better the match, the better the reception.
