7 Connection and initial operation
7.1 Mounting the control unit
To fix the control unit or the receiver, it is best to use double-sided adhesive tape Scotch 3M
or Tesa Power Strip.
If screws are used, always make sure they do not make contact with the electronic
circuit or cause any other damage.
7.1.1 Satellite aerial connector
The satellite aerial cable is terminated with an F-Connector on delivery. Check the connector
for damage and good seating before mounting. The centre conductor must not be bent. If the
aerial cable has been shortened or lengthened, a new F-Connector must be fitted. Either a
crimp or screw connector may be used. In either case the cable must be prepared as shown
in the following figure:
Warning! Take care, that no small wires of the outer screen touch the inner conductor when
mounting the connector, causing a short circuit.
The aerial cable from the external unit is screwed to the left F-connection labelled “in”.
Warning! Do not use any tools to screw up a screw type F-Connector on the cable and to fix
the connector at the F-connection. These connections should only be finger tight.
The right F-connection labelled “out” is the connection to the receiver.
