Installation
By following the instructions step by step, you can proceed easily to install the SFA60 by yourself or with the help
of a professional antenna installer.
Before installing your antenna, please check that all items listed above in the ‘Box Content’ are there. In the event
of any missing parts, please contact your dealer.
Step 1: Selecting the Sat Antenna Installation Site
Select an installation site which guarantees an unobstructed view to the south for reception of Astra or Eutelsat
satellites. Use a compass, for example, to determine a southerly direction. Make sure that there are no
obstructions (e.g. trees, buildings) in the direction of reception (skywards).
Note
Please take reference to the table of the Azimuth angles specified in the back pages of this manual.

Note
To ensure an accurate compass reading, stay away from large metal objects, specifically electrical cables and
make multiple readings.
Think about the way you might pass your cable in a discreet way from the SFA60 to your Set top Box. The antenna
should not be too distant from your satellite receiver; a cable longer than 30 meters may decrease the quality of
the signal.
