Footprint & Angles

• Consult the Galaxy 25 satellite footprint to determine if you are within the covered area
  
  
• Consult the look angles page to determine the Azimuth and Elevation for Telstar 5 at your location
  
  

Dish Assembly

• Mount the dish as shown in the assembly manual provided with the dish.
  
  
• Find a proper position to mount the dish on your house (according to the look angles) and install the base according to our Baseplate Installation page.
  
  
• Mount the LNBF on the feed bracket, but do not tighten to the maximum yet.

LNBF Rotation

• The rotation of the LNBF is a critical part of the installation. If the LNBF is not rotated properly, your system will not work.
  
  
• The Clock position of the LNBF means that the CONNECTOR of the LNBF must be at the correct position, as shown in the picture below.

	Atlantic	East Coast	Central	West Coast
Pansat LNBF (Position of the connector)	5:00	5:30	6:30	7:00
CalAmp Stacked LNBF (Black Line)	5:00	5:30	6:30	7:00

Note regarding dish-LNBF distance: In the case of the Pansat LNBF, it must be pushed TOWARDS the dish (to be as close as possible to the reflector), without forcing. In the case of the CalAmp Stacked LNBF, the bracket must go over the SECOND line (closest to the middle of the LNBF)

Searching for the signal (menu selection varies with receiver model being used)

• To find Telstar 5, connect your Pansat receiver to the antenna:
  IF INPUT / SAT ANT IN / LNBF IN
  
  
• Connect the receiver to the television:
  RF OUTPUT / VHF OUT / TO TV
  
  
• Do not change the default settings of your receiver and go directly to the ANTENNA SETTING / SIGNAL menu of the receiver
  
  
• Set the Satellite to Telstar 5 / T5 and set the frequency to 12,152 Ghz / Horizontal / 20,000 MSPS
  
  
• Slowly adjust the Azimuth and Elevation of the dish until you find a signal.
  
  
• When you find the signal, try to maximize its value by moving the dish very slowly.
  
  
• The final adjustment step it to slightly rotate the LNBF to see if you can improve the signal (without moving the dish).
  
  
• Once you have the optimal signal, tighten the dish and the LNBF bracket (do not overtighten of you may break the bolts).
