Connecting The Receiver

The Receiver must connected via a coaxial cable to the LNB on your satellite dish.

Connect the Receiver to the Mains Power socket only after you have connected

it properly to all devices and to the LNB, otherwise the Receiver can be

damaged. The coaxial cable carries power to the LNB so ensure that the inner

and outer conductors can not touch each other.

Camping or caravan use

The Receiver can be also supplied with 12 volts (i.e. 1115 volts, e.g., from a Solarpanel).

Use the supplied 12 Volt cable to connect it. This cable is ﬁtted with a cigarlighter plug.

If you remove this plug then you should ensure that the source of power is connected

via a suitable safety fuse not exceeding 3 Amps.

Vehicles with 24 volt supply (e.g., TRUCK)

Please, use a 24 V to 12 V DC/DC converter, otherwise the receiver will be

damaged.

LNB cable assembly

To assemble the "F" plugs on the coaxial cable you need a knife (ideally: Wire

stripper) and side cutters.

Remove 10mm of outer plastic sheath at each end to expose the copper braid.

Fold back the braid over the outer sheath, so that it does not touch the copper

centre core. Remove the exposed foil tape.

Remove the white insulation to within 2 mms of the braid.

Twist the "F" plug onto the folded-back braid, until the plug stumbles touches the

white insulation.

Make sure that no strand of copper braid is touching the copper central core

wire.

Shorten the core wire with side cutters, so that it protrudes a maximum of 1 mm from

the plug.
