DTV Transition Notice

After June 12th, 2009, a television receiver with only an analog broadcast tuner will require a converter box to receive full power over-the-air broadcasts originating from a

United States broadcaster with an antenna because of the Nation’s transition to digital broadcasting. Analog-only TVs should continue to work as before to receive low power,

Class A or translator television stations, cable, satellite TV services, gaming consoles,

VCRs, DVD players, and similar products.

Information about the DTV transition is available from www.DTV.gov or 1-888-CALL-

FCC, and from www.dtv2009.gov or 1-888-DTV-2009 for information about subsidized coupons for digital-to-analog converter boxes.

This notice does not affect any programming received by this satellite set-top box. Your digital satellite receiver will continue to receive the digital satellite signals and provide the programming for display on both Analog Televisions and new DTV compatible monitors with composite, Component YUV or S-Video input connections.

This notice complies with Parts 15 and 54 of Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations:

15.124 DTV Transition Notices by Manufacturers of Televisions and Related Devices.

Important Installation Notice: The Federal Communications

Commission (FCC) has ruled that local government zoning and homeowner’s associations may not prevent the installation of satellite antennas one meter (39”) or smaller in diameter within a resident’s private use area, unless legitimate safety restrictions such as fire codes are in effect.

Site Survey

If you feel comfortable with drilling holes in the walls and/or roof of your home, climbing ladders, attaching wires to the ground according to NEC and local codes and following step-by-step instructions, you might consider installing your own system.

The satellite is located over 23,000 miles away and the installation does require precise tuning and a great deal of patience to correctly install.

Have you recently installed a light switch, ceiling fan, basketball hoop and programmed a VCR? If not, this project might not be a good time to hone your mechanical and electrical skills!

To contract a local installer visit:

www.FTAinstall.com

This web site will introduce you to local professionals, laypersons and also individuals who install Christian satellite systems as an outreach ministry.

Before assembling any equipment it is important to verify that the installation location has a suitable area to safely and securely mount the satellite dish and have a clear line of site to receive the satellite signal. The satellite dish must be pointed directly at the satellite, with NO obstructions between the two. This means NO trees and

NO buildings. Satellite signals will not pass through leaves, limbs, so consider future tree growth, house remodeling or additions and new construction in your area. The dish cannot be installed indoors!

www.geosatpro.com Toll Free 888-483-4673

Where Is The Satellite?

In North America, the dish will be pointed towards the South,

Southeast or Southwest. The satellite is located south of Texas and Mexico, directly over the equator. If you live in Miami, you must have a clear line of sight to the Southwest; if you live in San

Francisco, you must have a clear line to the Southeast.

Compass (Azimuth) Reading:

_______________

Glorystar Satellite Systems receive channels from Galaxy 19 KU at orbital position 97W. This is not the compass reading! Galaxy 19 is near the same location as the DirecTV main satellite at 101W.

How High Up in the Sky is the Satellite?

Depending on where you live, the satellite will usually be at an elevation angle between 30 and 60 degrees in North America.

Southern US point more toward 60 degrees; northern US point more toward 30 degrees. Northern Canada and Hawaiian elevations can be as low as 10 degrees, but in Central

American and the Caribbean, the dishes are aimed almost straight up between 70 - 90 degrees!

Dish Elevation Angle: __________

Where to Mount the Dish?

Use the aiming coordinates included with this system or found at http://www.GeoSatFinder.com along with a compass and the Site

Check Angle Finder found on the last page of this manual to locate a suitable area for mounting the dish. While facing south, hold the compass level in the palm of your hand. With the red needle pointed exactly at North, reference the compass reading. Are there any obvious obstructions? If the line of sight appears clear, continue to the check the elevation angle.

Dish Mounting Options

We recommend ground mounting the dish on a 1 5/8” heavy wall galvanized post set in cement. Attach a bolt or muffler clamp to the bottom of the post to prevent the post from twisting in the hardened cement. These items are readily available at any hardware store.

Filling the post with a wet cement mixture will provide greater rigidity. The post must be perfectly plumb, level on all sides.

Posts standing higher than 7 feet should be stabilized to prevent movement during high winds. The post should be installed in

Ground Post Mount advance of the install as the cement can take

24 - 48 hours to set. DO NOT install the dish on a wooden 4” x 4” post or on a tree. The grain of the wood will twist during dry and rainy seasons causing the dish to swing off of the satellite causing reduced or loss of signal. Take proper precautions to protect the dish from being bumped during yard care or damaged by children at play.

Wall Mount Roof Mount

The Glorystar system includes a heavy duty universal wall / roof post mount. This mount can be attached at almost any angle and provides a stable secure mount even in high wind regions if properly attached. The tripod legs MUST be installed. The universal post will fail under moderate wind load if the tripod legs have not been installed to support the larger wind load area of a 36” dish. The dish and mount are designed to remain operational in winds up to 80+ mph and survive wind gusts over 110+ mph.

B. Gohl

Dish Assembly

Once a dish location has been chosen it is time to set up the dish. Use the large cardboard shipping box as a working surface to prevent damage to the dish components during assembly. We recommend assembling the dish first and then installing on the post mount.

It is important to check the reflector for warping before assembly of the satellite dish.

Dish Reflector Accuracy

Before assembling the dish it is Extremely Important to verify that the reflector was not warped or bent during shipping. Failure to check for dish warping or damage could lead to many frustrating hours of trying to locate the satellite. This simple test may be the most important step in a successful installation!

Bad - Warped Reflector

Good - Reflector

Find a perfectly flat surface such as a garage cement floor and lay the reflector face down. Are the edges of the reflector laying perfectly flat? If any area of the edge is raised by even an 1/8th of an inch reception of the satellite signal will be affected! If you cannot find a perfectly flat surface or if the dish is already installed, perform the string test.

Tape a string horizontally from edge to edge across the center of the dish. Tape a second string vertically from top to bottom on the edges of the dish.

If the strings do not lightly touch in the center, the dish is warped and it must be corrected before aiming the dish.

www.geosatpro.com Toll Free 888-483-4673

To correct a warped reflector, hold the dish like a steering wheel and quickly thrust the reflector away from your body like the motion of passing a basketball. This action will cause the reflector to slightly flex and spring back into the factory pressed shape. Check for correction with the string test. It may be necessary to repeat the flexing process several times until the reflector edges are uniformly flat.

Important Note:

An assembled dish will not be accepted for refund.

Universal Post Mount Assembly

Mount the Universal Post Mount Foot Plate to a wall stud or roof rafter using two 5/16th x 3” lag bolts. Additional 5/16th x 2” lag bolts on the outer edges will increase stability. To prevent water leakage, use the included silicone sealant or other waterproofing product on all wall or roof penetrations.

The Universal Post Mount can be assembled for flat and pitched roof or wall type installations. The post has two slots for attaching to the Foot Plate on both ends of the tube. This allows the dish to be mounted in one of two methods. Either with the “J” at the bottom of the post providing a higher reach

(as pictured), or the “J” is positioned at the top of the post for greater outward reach.

Level and Secure Post

B. Gohl

Insert the Bubble Spirit Level into the top of the post. Be sure that the level is seated level and flush with the top edge of the post.

The unique slots in the post tube allows the post to be leveled or made plumb in almost any installation position.

If the post is not exactly plumb, the elevation scale will not be accurate and it will be very difficult to locate the satellite and properly tune the dish for reliable reception.

GEOSATpro

Center the bubble in the level then tighten the 4 flange bolts to secure the post. It is very important to make sure that the post is perfectly plumb (level on all sides).

Not Level Level

The Most Critical step to providing a stable mounting platform for the dish is the installation of the Tripod Support Legs. If the lag bolts cannot be secured directly into a stud or rafter, the legs should be secured into plywood sheeting with either a backing a toggle bolt or to a 2 x 4” that is lag bolted between the rafters or studs.

The legs are required to support the wind load on the universal post mount. Failure to install the tripod support legs will result in collapse of the post even during moderate winds. The post is not designed to solely support the dish without the tripod support legs. If you hire a local installer, be sure that the tripod support legs are installed.

Place the assembled dish onto the top of the post with the Structural

Bolt #6 sitting on top of the post. Loosely secure the mast clamp hardware until the dish only moves when applying light pressure to the rotate the reflector.

LNBF Clamp Assembly

Assemble the single LNBF Clamp and attach to the LNBF arm.

Install the LNBF into the clamp with the white cap facing the dish. www.geosatpro.com Toll Free 888-483-4673

LNBF Rotation Setting

Set the LNBF Rotation (Skew Angle) to the setting specified in the aiming instructions provided with your system. The LNBF rotates in the circular clamp until the centering line on the top of the LNBF aligns with the LNBF Rotation angle. Each mark indicates 5 degrees.

LNBF Rotation:

___________

(Skew)

Example: Positive +20°

When standing in front of the dish and looking at the back of the LNBF and towards the reflector, rotate the LNBF counter clockwise (left) for a positive

(+) LNBF Rotation (Skew) setting and

Clockwise (right) for a negative (-) LNBF

Rotation (Skew) setting.

Dish Aiming

Elevation Angle

Set the Dish Elevation to the angle provided on the cover of this manual.

The pointer for the elevation indicator is a white line that is visible through the elevation scale and is located near the edge of the elevation fastening nut.

Elevation Angle:

___________

B. Gohl

GEOSATpro

When setting the elevation angle on an offset dish, it is important to note that the dish will appear be aimed lower than the actual elevation angle to the satellite.

The scale on the elevation bracket is calibrated for accurate aiming when the post is installed perfectly plumb

(leveled on all sides). The dish elevation angle cannot be found using the angle finder on the LNBF arm or on the face of the dish.

Do not grip the edges of the reflector to adjust the dish. Always hold the dish by the elevation bracket during elevation or azimuth

(side-to-side) adjustments. Applying pressure to the edges of the reflector will affect the accuracy of the satellite signal reflection from the dish into the LNBF.

Semi-tighten the elevation fastening nuts to hold the dish in position.

Do not tighten the fasteners for final setting at this time. Additional adjustment will be needed to locate and peak the satellite signal.

Compass Reading: Azimuth

In North America, satellites are always located South of your location.

To correctly aim the dish you must first accurately determine the exact compass reading angle (azimuth). Metals, electricity and other magnetic disturbances can cause the compass to point incorrectly.

Compass readings should be made at least 10 feet in front of or behind the metal satellite dish and away from any large metal object such as metal buildings, air conditioners, vehicles, utility and power lines or electrical panels. Check compass reading several times to reduce install time and the need to hunt the entire southern sky for the satellite signal.

Example: Compass Reading 180 degrees.

Compass Azimuth Reading:

___________

Identify a reference point on the horizon like a tree, utility pole or other landmark that lines up with the compass reading. Installers often find it easier to align the dish if they can reference an object that has been identified with the compass reading. If you cannot locate a visual reference, stretch a 10 - 20 foot rope out in front of the dish in the direction of the compass reading pointing towards the satellite.

Move directly behind the dish and align the dish so that the LNBF arm is aimed directly at the reference landmark or in line with the rope. Semi-tighten the post clamp nuts, but allow the dish to be just loose enough to be rotated left or right by applying light pressure.

Remove the satellite receiver and remote control from the packaging.

Inspect the unit before operation. If any equipment is damaged or if you have any questions, please immediately contact Glorystar or your reseller.

The easiest method to aim the satellite dish is to temporarily place the satellite receiver connected to a small television near the satellite dish. This method allows the installer to see the signal changes that occur with small dish movements. It is extremely difficult to install the satellite system if the TV is inside the home and out of the view of the installer. Attempting to communicate the signal readings with a second person viewing the TV can complicate the aiming process!

Install the two included AAA batteries into the remote control battery compartment..

Connect the satellite receiver to the TV.

The most basic connection is to locate the included 6’ coax jumper with the plastic moulded ends and connect from the TV

/VCR port on the satellite receiver to the

The Signal Level (S) is important when determining if the receiver is connected to a working LNBF. A Signal Level reading of 50% or higher indicates a connection to a working

LNBF, but not indicate finding the correct satellite.

This screen shot shows a receiver that is not properly connected to the dish. A Signal Level (S) of

0-10% indicates that there is not a good connection between the receiver and the LNBF. Verify that a coax cable is directly attached from the SAT IN port on the rear of the satellite receiver to the LNBF on the satellite dish.

Do not attempt to use pre wire or previously used coax cables

or switches. Do not use splitters for multiple receivers.

Locate and Peak Satellite Signal

The Orange Signal Button on the top of the remote toggles the Signal

Meter ON/OFF. The Blue Button on the remote toggles the meter beeping sound ON/OFF.

Aim the dish towards the distant landmark which corresponds with the compass reading for the satellite. Observe the Signal Quality (Q) reading on Channel 901, RT News Channel and very slowly pan the dish.

If the dish is panned beyond 15 degrees from the satellite compass reading and no Signal Quality (Q) is detected or television programming displayed, return the dish to the starting position then slowly sweep 15 degrees in the opposite direction.

When the correct satellite is found the beeping sound changes to a higher tone and the Signal Quality

(Q) bar turns Green. The meter will display an increased Signal Quality

(Q) reading. RT News Channel programming will be visible.

If no Green Signal Quality (Q) reading is detected, increase or decrease the elevation by one degree increments and repeat the slow sweep. The elevation may need to be adjusted +/- 5 degrees depending on the post being plumb. Move the dish very slowly to allow the receiver to process the signal information. A movement of just 1/16th of a inch can result in a perfect or no signal. This process may need to be repeated many times to aim and peak the quality of the signal.

When the dish is correctly aimed, the RT News Channel television programming will be displayed and the Signal Quality (Q) reading will read 50% or higher. A stable level on the 6 second bar graph indicates good

LNBF and dish alignment.

Using Satellite Meters

Inexpensive satellite meters can speed up the installation process, but they only display the signal strength of a satellite.

It is important to understand that signal strength satellite meters do not indicate if the dish is aimed at the correct satellite and they will not be useful for fine tuning the dish aiming or adjusting LNBF skew (rotation).

Signal strength meters must be used along with the satellite receiver to determine if the dish is aimed at the correct satellite.

A digital identification meter such as a SatBuddy or BirDog will simplify the installation process. Please consult with the owners manual for correct operation. We recommend the Super SatBuddy.

Install Procedure with a Signal Identification Meter

Connect LNBF and use a data set for standard LNB type LO 10750,

KU, Galaxy 19 97W, Horizontal and Vertical transponders. Peak and

Balance for maximum Signal Quality (Q) for G 19. Verify the Signal

Quality averaged above 50% on the Glorystar receiver channels 901,

106 and 113. Perform an OTA update following directions on Page

49 of this guide to update the channel list.

Note: Birdog meters may have difficulty detecting weaker FSS type signals and must have the BER setting changed in the main set-up menu. Change the BER setting to LOG (logarithmic) and the meter will become much more sensitive to the weaker FSS type satellites.

Professional Installer Tip:

If you are having trouble locating the satellite, remove the Glorystar standard linear polarity LNBF from the clamp and install a DirecTV circular polarity LNBF. Locate the DirecTV 101w satellite with your meter or a DirecTV receiver. Mark the mast and mast clamp with the

101W satellite position. Replace the Glorystar linear polarity LNBF into the clamp and set the skew. Rotate the dish approximately 6 degrees to the East (1/4” on the mast marking). The dish is now roughly aimed and will only require fine AZ/EL tuning for optimal reception of the Galaxy 19 satellite @ orbital slot 97W.

Completing the Install and Grounding

Carefully route the coax cable from the dish to the ground block then to the satellite receiver. Secure all cables using appropriate cable clips and nylon zip ties. Avoid using wire staples as they can dimple or penetrate the cable and can cause loss of signal! Form drip loops and cable loops as needed to prevent water from running down the cables and entering cable connection fittings or into wall penetrations. Remember to seal all exterior wall and/or roof holes with a quality sealant or silicone caulking.

Install the grounding block and wire while observing all NEC,

National Electrical Code and local codes. Connect the ground wire to the structure ground. If you are unsure of how to properly ground your satellite system, please consult with a local professional.

Copies of the NEC are available at your local library or online.

Important Notice:

GEOSATpro recommends that you DO NOT use existing coaxial cabling that has been pre-wired or previously used in your home. Often these cables are low quality RG-59, not rated for satellite applications or have splitters and other devices that are not compatible. Always connect the RG-6 type coax cable directly from the satellite dish LNBF through the grounding block and attach to the LNBF IN Digital connection on the rear of the

Satellite Receiver.

Cable splitters and other devices in the coax line may cause the satellite receiver to shut down or malfunction. Do not use any device in the coax line unless approved for satellite installation. Multiple receiver installations must use a multiple output LNBF to avoid tuning conflicts between the receivers. Splitters will not work!

Satellite receiver displays “No Signal” only during very hot or cold weather.

An aging or defective LNBF can drift off frequency and cause the loss of reception during the heat of the day or coolness of the night. Replace the LNBF.

Satellite receiver displays “No Signal” or the picture breaks up during high

winds. Strong winds can move the dish out of alignment and cause the signal to be reduced or lost. Make sure the mast support legs have been installed and the mast is secure and not moving. Once the mast is stable, follow the aiming instructions to re aim the dish and tighten all hardware to prevent any movement.
