3.1. Package Contents

Verify that your package contains the Triax CS 100 S Gold Universal Single LNB.

3.2. Safety Instructions

• Ensure all power to the satellite receiver and television is disconnected before installation.
• Exercise caution when working at heights for antenna installation. Use appropriate safety equipment.
• Protect all connections from moisture to prevent signal degradation and damage.

3.3. Mounting the LNB

1. Locate the feed holder on your parabolic antenna. The Triax CS 100 S Gold LNB is designed for standard 40 mm feed holders.
2. Carefully slide the LNB into the feed holder. Ensure it is securely seated.
3. Tighten any securing screws or clamps on the feed holder to firmly hold the LNB in place. Do not overtighten.
4. Adjust the LNB's skew (rotation) according to your satellite provider's recommendations or a satellite finder tool for optimal signal reception.

3.4. Connecting to the Receiver

1. Connect a high-quality coaxial cable (with F-connectors) to the gold-plated F-socket on the LNB.
2. Ensure the F-connector is securely tightened to prevent signal loss and moisture ingress.
3. Route the coaxial cable to your satellite receiver, ensuring it is protected from damage and environmental elements.
4. Connect the other end of the coaxial cable to the 'LNB IN' or 'SAT IN' port on your satellite receiver.

4. Operation

Once the LNB is installed and connected, power on your satellite receiver and television. Access the satellite setup menu on your receiver. You will typically need to select the correct satellite (e.g., Astra, Eutelsat, Türksat) and perform a channel scan. Use the signal strength and quality indicators on your receiver to fine-tune the antenna's alignment and LNB skew for the best possible reception.

5. Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning: Periodically inspect the LNB and antenna for dirt, debris, or ice accumulation. Gently clean the LNB's front cap with a soft, damp cloth if necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Connection Check: Ensure all cable connections remain tight and free from corrosion. Re-tighten F-connectors if they become loose.
• Weather Protection: While the LNB is weather-resistant, extreme weather conditions (heavy snow, ice, strong winds) can affect signal reception or cause physical damage. Clear any snow or ice from the LNB and antenna dish.

6. Troubleshooting

• No Signal:
  • Check all cable connections between the LNB and receiver.
  • Verify that the satellite dish is correctly aligned to the desired satellite.
  • Ensure the LNB skew is set correctly.
  • Confirm that the satellite receiver is powered on and configured for the correct LNB type (Universal Single).
• Weak or Intermittent Signal:
  • Fine-tune the antenna alignment and LNB skew.
  • Check for any obstructions (trees, buildings) blocking the line of sight to the satellite.
  • Inspect the coaxial cable for damage or kinks.
  • Ensure F-connectors are securely tightened and weatherproofed.
• Picture Freezing or Pixelation:
  • This often indicates a weak signal. Refer to 'Weak or Intermittent Signal' troubleshooting steps.
  • Perform a channel rescan on your satellite receiver.
