TV ANTENNA

Status 570 Digital antenna system                                                              FITTED EQUIPMENT

Travelling                                          ! WARNING: The blanking cap is temporary

Do not travel:                                      seal and is not recommended for long term
                                                    use.
• W ith the antenna raised
                                                   Technical:
• With the antenna set for vertical signals
                                                   Diameter: 122mm (foot)
To reduce the possibility of damage when           Height raised: 330mm
travelling, point the antenna backwards.           Height lowered: 150mm
                                                   No Antenna dome: 50mm
The RED SPOT on the bottom of the mast
indicates the front of the Antenna.                Mast: 365 mm
                                                   Amplifier: 115 x 45 x 29mm
Operating the system
                                                   Frequency Range: UHF 470-862 MHz
Firstly determine the approximate location         Antenna Forward Gain: 7db
of the nearest transmitter and whether the         Amplifier Gain - Max: 18db
signals are horizontally or vertically polarised.  Gain Adjustment - Min: 15db
For assistance ask your site operator or check     Noise Figure: 2.8db
other antennas in the vicinity.                    Output Impedence: 75ohms
                                                   Output: 98 dbuV
1. L oosen the Mast Locking Collar and raise      Power Supply: 12-24 VDC
   the antenna. Rotate the mast to direct the      Power Consumption: 55ma
   TV transmitter.

The RED SPOT on the bottom of the mast
indicates the front of the antenna.

2. Should you need to receive vertically
   polarised signals rotate the winder, anti-
   clockwise to cant the antenna through 90°.
   The red / green indicator in the lower part of
   the aerial mast indicates whether the aerial
   is horizontal or vertical.

DO NOT use undue force on the winder.

3. S witch ON the amplifier and the LED will
   illuminate.

4. C heck the gain control is set to maximum.
   For maximum rotate clockwise.

5. T une your television into the strongest
   signal. You may need to adjust the direction
   of the mast to achieve the best picture
   quality.

6. Secure by tightening the mast locking collar.

Removing the antenna

1. U nplug the antenna lead from the amplifier.

2. Loosen the mast locking collar and lift off
   whilst feeding out the mast, coaxial cable
   and plug.

3. P ush the blanking cap supplied into place.
