2. Veiligheidsinligting

Volg altyd die volgende veiligheidsmaatreëls om beserings of skade aan die toestel te voorkom:

• Elektriese veiligheid: Ensure all power to connected equipment (satellite receiver, TV) is disconnected before making or breaking any cable connections to the LNB.
• Installasie-omgewing: Installation of satellite dishes and LNBs often involves working at heights. Use appropriate safety equipment, such as ladders and harnesses, and ensure stable footing. Do not install during adverse weather conditions (e.g., strong winds, lightning).
• Kabelbestuur: Secure all coaxial cables to prevent tripping hazards and damage from wind or animals. Use weather-resistant connectors and seal exposed connections to prevent water ingress.
• Hantering: Handle the LNB with care. Avoid dropping it or subjecting it to strong impacts, as this can damage internal components.
• Ventilasie: Ensure the LNB is installed in a location that allows for proper air circulation, although LNBs are typically outdoor devices and designed for environmental exposure.

3. Pakketinhoud

The package for your Inverto IDLU-32L412-UNBRR-OPN Unicable-LNB should contain the following item:

• 1 x Inverto IDLU-32L412-UNBRR-OPN Unicable-LNB with integrated multiswitch

This image shows the compact design of the LNB, including its main body and the 40mm feed neck, which is designed to fit into the LNB holder of a satellite dish. The output connector for the coaxial cable is visible, indicating where the signal is transmitted to the receivers.

5. Opstelinstruksies

Follow these steps to install your Unicable-LNB:

1. Mounting the LNB: Carefully insert the 40mm feed neck of the LNB into the LNB holder on your satellite dish. Ensure it is securely fastened according to your dish manufacturer's instructions. The LNB should be positioned correctly for optimal signal reception.
2. Connecting Coaxial Cables: Connect a high-quality coaxial cable (e.g., RG6) from the LNB's output connector to your Unicable-compatible satellite receiver or multiswitch distribution point. For outdoor connections, use weather-sealed F-connectors to prevent moisture ingress.
3. Dish Alignment: Accurately align your satellite dish to the desired satellite. This typically involves adjusting the azimuth (horizontal angle), elevation (vertical angle), and skew (rotation) of the LNB. A satellite finder tool is highly recommended for precise alignment. Refer to your satellite dish manual for specific alignment procedures.
4. Ontvanger konfigurasie: Once the LNB and dish are physically installed and aligned, configure your satellite receiver(s). Access the satellite setup menu on your receiver and select 'Unicable' or 'SCR' LNB type. You will need to assign a unique User Band (UB) frequency and SCR ID to each connected receiver. The LNB supports up to 32 User Bands. Refer to your receiver's manual for detailed configuration steps and the LNB's specifications for available User Band frequencies.
5. Krag aan: After all connections are secure and configurations are set, power on your satellite receiver and TV to check for signal reception.

6. Bedryfsinstruksies

The Inverto Unicable-LNB operates passively once correctly installed and configured. Its primary function is to convert the high-frequency satellite signals to intermediate frequencies (IF) and distribute them to connected receivers via the Unicable protocol.

• Ontvanger werking: Ensure each connected satellite receiver is configured with a unique User Band (UB) frequency and SCR ID. This allows each receiver to independently select and receive its desired transponder signal from the single coaxial cable.
• Seinmonitering: Periodically check the signal strength and quality indicators on your satellite receiver to ensure optimal performance.
• Kanaalinstelling: Use your satellite receiver's remote control to scan for channels and access programming.

7. Onderhoud

The Inverto Unicable-LNB is designed for minimal maintenance. However, periodic checks can help ensure long-term performance:

• Skoonmaak: Occasionally, gently clean the LNB's front cap (where the signal enters) with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, or debris that might accumulate and obstruct the signal. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Verbindingskontrole: Annually, inspect all coaxial cable connections for corrosion or looseness. Tighten any loose connections and replace corroded F-connectors. Ensure weatherproofing remains intact.
• Fisiese inspeksie: Check the LNB and its mounting for any physical damage, cracks, or signs of wear, especially after severe weather conditions.

8. Probleemoplossing

If you experience issues with your satellite reception, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Geen Sein / Swak Sein:
  • Check all cable connections from the LNB to the receiver. Ensure they are tight and free from damage.
  • Verify that the satellite dish is still correctly aligned to the satellite. Strong winds can sometimes shift the dish.
  • Ensure there are no obstructions (e.g., new tree growth, buildings) blocking the line of sight to the satellite.
  • Confirm that your satellite receiver is correctly configured for a Unicable LNB and that the assigned User Band frequency and SCR ID are unique and correct.
• Pixelation / Intermittent Signal:
  • This often indicates a weak signal. Re-check dish alignment and LNB skew.
  • Inspect coaxial cables for damage or poor quality. Replace if necessary.
  • Ensure the LNB's front cap is clean and free from debris.
• Only Some Channels Working:
  • This could be related to incorrect LNB configuration in the receiver or issues with specific transponders.
  • Perform a channel rescan on your satellite receiver.
• No Power to LNB:
  • Ensure your satellite receiver is powered on and configured to supply power to the LNB (usually automatic with Unicable setup).
  • Check for short circuits in the coaxial cable.

If problems persist after following these steps, contact Inverto customer support or a qualified satellite technician.
