1. Loosen the two screws on the support using the enclosed
hexagon wrench (see picture on right).
2. Now set the polarisation value appropriate for you
(see 5.4) on the installation support. For this, ensure that
the desired value on the chart is located at the same level
as the notch on the support (looking toward the satellite,
"+" to the right and "-" and to the left; in the example at
right, -15° is set).
3. Hand-tighten the two screws again by gripping the
wrench at the short end.
4. Grip the wrench at the long end and tighten the screws
by approx. 1/4 to 1/2 turns.
The screw-tightening torque now corresponds to
approx. 6 to 7 Nm.
5.5.3 Setting the elevation for ground installation
For ground installation, the elevation setting cannot be performed using the chart on the antenna support, as this
is designed for mast and wall installation. For ground installation, the installation support is mounted tipped at a 90°
angle. The required elevation setting for ground installation is calculated as follows:
Ground elevation = 90° - elevation table value (see page 66-69).
Example for Rosenheim: Elevation table value 35° => ground elevation = 90° - 35° = 55° of the value to be set
1. Loosen the two screws on the support using the enclosed hexagon wrench
(see picture on right).
2. Set the calculated ground elevation value for the antenna support.
3. Hand-tighten the two screws again by gripping the wrench at the
short end.
4. Then grip the wrench at the long end and tighten the screws by
approx. 1/4 to 1/2 turns.
The screw-tightening torque now corresponds to approx. 6 to 7 Nm.
5.5.4 Attaching the antenna to the installation support for ground installation
1. Take the antenna and insert the central bolt on the antenna support in the opening (keyhole) provided for this
in the centre of the installation support. Pull the antenna forwards in the direction of the satellite until the central
bolt is in the narrowed area and the antenna can no longer tip over.
2. Now attach the antenna to the support using the four supplied screws (see picture below). Insert two screws
through the curved long holes and into the thread of the counterpiece and hand-tighten them. Ensure that the
angle is set to 0°.
4. With the remaining two screws, proceed in the same way from the opposite side.
5. Use the enclosed hexagon socket wrench to tighten the
screws. First, tighten the screws
slightly by gripping the wrench at the short end.
6. Then grip the wrench at the long end and tighten
the screws by approx. 1/4 to 1/2 turns.
The screw-tightening torque now corresponds to approx. 6 to 7 Nm.
Continue with point 6 of the instructions for use.
5.6 Determining the necessary polarisation setting
Satellite signals are sent out with a certain sense of direction, i.e. they are "polarised".
The BAS 65 planar antenna is suited for the reception of linear polarised (horizontal and vertical) signals. To
achieve optimal reception in the antenna, it must be aligned in accordance with the geographic location, and its
polarisation must if necessary be aligned when attaching the antenna to the installation support. To determine whether your location requires another setting deviating from 0°, please refer to point 13 on page 70 of these
instructions for use. If this is the case, observe the polarisation value when attaching the antenna to the installation
support.
