Warning
Antennas improperly installed or installed to an inadequate structure are very
susceptible to wind damage. This damage can be very serious or even life
threatening. The owner and installer assumes full responsibility that the
installation is structurally sound to support all loads (weight, wind & ice)
and properly sealed against leaks. The manufacturer will not accept liability
for any damage caused by a satellite system due to the many unknown variable
applications.

How to Install
By following the instructions step by step, you can easily proceed to install Humax Flach-Antenne by yourself or with the help of a professional antenna installer.
Before installing your antenna, you have to check that Humax Flach-Antenne box contains all the items listed above in the ‘Box Content’. In the event of any missing parts, please contact your distributor.
Step 1: Where to Install
In order to receive a signal from the Satellite, Humax Flach-Antenne has to be installed in an open loop space (outside the house or the apartment), in the direction of the satellite towards the equator, for which, you will need a compass to exactly orient Humax Flach-Antenne toward the satellite.
Note
please take reference to the table of the Azimuth angles specified in the back
pages of this manual.
< Compass > < Azimuth Angle >
- Satellite position
- Azimuth Angle
Note
To ensure an accurate compass reading, stay away from large metal objects,
specifically electrical cables and then make multiple readings.
Make sure that there are no obstacles in front of Humax Flach-Antenne which can decrease the signal reception quality, such as buildings or trees (you may keep in mind that trees will grow and may block the signal).
In order to be able to fix and install your antenna easily, you might choose an easy accessible place without any potential danger for installation.
Think about the way you prefer to place your cable in a discreet way from the Humax Flach-Antenne to your Set top Box. The antenna should not be too distant from your satellite receiver; a cable longer than 30 meters may decrease the quality of the signal.

Step 2: Check Information
In order to install antenna, you need to find skew, elevation and azimuth
angle by referring the table on the back of the manual. If you can’t find your
location, please refer to the information of the nearest area from your
location.
This manual will show you the installation example to receive ASTRA1 satellite
in Brest region of France. The angle information for Brest region is Skew :
-12.6°, El : 30, Az : 149.6
Step 3: Part Assembly
1) Fix Skew (Joint Angle Bracket and Antenna Body)
Joint Angle Bracket and Antenna Body by screw adjusting skew angle at -12.6°
2) Fix Elevation (Joint Antenna Body and Main Support)
Joint Antenna Body and Main Support. For delicate adjustment elevation and
azimuth angle, please don’t fix bolt and nut tightly.
3) Installation of Fix Bracket A
You need to install Fix Bracket A(B3) with installation positioning for Clamp
or Wall Mounting type. Make sure that direction should be toward satellite. In
order to support antenna, nut (N1) should be jointed as tight as you can.
Note : Need to purchase anchor bolt separately for wall mounting
installation.
- Wall
- Use anchor bolt.
It is not included.
4) Joint Antenna Body and Fix Bracket A(B3)
Joint assembled Antenna Body and Fix Bracket A.
In order to support antenna, nut (N1) should be jointed as tight as you can.

Step 4: Connecting the Antenna and the Set top box
Once you have installed the antenna in an open loop space or mounted the way you want it to be, the next step is to connect them all together.
In order to be able to watch your favorite satellite programs, you need to connect your satellite antenna to a receiver with a cable. The cable between the antenna and the Satellite receiver should not exceed 30m as it will decrease the quality of the signal. The use of a long or bad quality cable and/or unisolated jacks can cause lowering the signal level, it would be preferable to use an RG6 Coaxial cable (HF 17VATC or 19VATC cable), in order to minimize a signal loss.

It is important that the coaxial cable does not become damaged or kinked during the installation procedure.
Step 5: Fine Tuning and Fix the Bracket
Once fine tuning is completed for signal reception, please tighten bolt and nut.
Once all connected, turn on the TV and the Satellite receiver.
Select the Antenna Pointing Menu on your set top box.
You can check signal level on your TV.
Ensure that to choose “LNB : ON”
You will need someone to stay in front of the TV to tell you when the signal
is “good” while you’re outside trying to adjust the antenna the best way
possible.
The signal level and quality is indicated on the TV screen and will fluctuate and change colour according to the adjustment & movement of the antenna while you are pointing & finding (azimuth, elevation angle). The level indicates the power of the signal and the colour is the signal reception quality from the chosen satellite.
The warranty for this product corresponds to the statutory provisions at the
time of purchase. Subject to technical changes and errors.
We reserve the right to make changes to the software or hardware that deviate
from the description in this manual.
Troubleshooting Check List for Initial Installation
If the signal is not found, be sure the receiver user manual and the antenna user manual have been followed closely, check the following:
- Make sure all cable connections are correct and each connection is seated / tightened properly.
- Inspect the inside of each cable connector for dirt or possible short of connector case/shield.
- Verify the Azimuth, Elevation and Tilt angles for your location by ZIP code.
- Make sure the Tilt and Elevation pointers are aligned correctly to the scales. Do not use washer or bolt as reference.
- Make sure the Tilt adjustment is not changed from the recommended setting for the antenna location.
- Remove existing TV-specific components, such as TV splitter,etc. to simplify the installation to the basic connections called out in this guide. Such components may not work with the satellite signal and they may be in the wall where you can’t see them. When in doubt. Run RG6 cable directly to your receiver.
- Make sure there are no obstructions (trees, buildings, windows, corner or overhang of your roof, your body or hands) - the signal does not pass leaves, branches, glass, etc.
- RG 6 cable with solid copper center conductor is highly recommended because it has much lower DC voltage drop compared to RG 6 cable with a copper-coated, steel center conductor.
- Standard RG 59 cable causes too much DC drop and signal drop; it cannot be used to pass the satellite signal. RG 6 coaxial cable must be used.
- Some after-market, off-the-shelf add-on components may not be as advertised. They might not work or could cause additional DC drops and attenuated signal amplitude. Remove such components. Go back to the basic connections called out in this manual and re-verify.
- Make sure the satellite cable is connected to the “Sat In” jack, not the “Antenna In” jack. The “Antenna In” jack at the back of the receiver is for off-air antenna input or cable TV input.
- If all are done correctly but the signal is still not found. Change the Elevation adjustment of the antenna slightly (±2°, then ±4°from the called-for setting) and repeat the procedure.
- Make sure the Access Card from your receiver is fully inserted into the Access Card slot and oriented correctly.
Loss of Signal / Rain Fade
- The satellite signal may be lost temporarily due to unusual heavy rainfall. An optimally aligned antenna, along with the cable as short as possible, minimizes the chances of “rain fade.”
- Make sure the antenna is mounted securely to prevent it from being fallen apart of alignment in a heavy wind.
- Heavy snow accumulation on the antenna may reduce the satellite signal strength, snow should be swept away as soon as possible.
- Tree foliage growth into antenna’s line-of-sight to the satellite may result in gradual loss of picture.
