LNB assembly on the POTY antenna

The quickest and easiest way to mount the POTY antenna on the LNB is to drill a 22mm hole in the plastic cap in front of the LNB and push the POTY waveguide inside.

For a good insertion of the waveguide in the LNB, we recommend according to the LNB model, to weld a reducer 22/16mm in copper, at the end of the tube of the POTY to come to wedge in the bottom of the waveguide.

With silicone sealant, the LNB head will be fixed and waterproof at the cap.

The mounting on the support of the dish is to be done just before the reflective patch, via the tube of the POTY and not via the LNB. A 40/22mm reduction ring is recommended for the proper support of the POTY by the LNB arm.

N Connector usage

It is possible to replace the supplied SMA connector with an N-type connector.

There are 2 additional holes on the reflector plate to fit a female N-type connector with a flat base (the model of connector N which we have in shop is not suitable for mounting on the antenna patch):



The connector is fixed with M2.5 screws. The insulation of the connector must be shortened to 4 mm:

Lens assembly

It may happen that insertion of the lens into the tube can be difficult because some lenses may have a slightly larger diameter or if the tube have a tolerance on the lower side.

The manufacturer recommends in this case to place the lens in the freezer for 1 hour to facilitate insertion.

New lens version

A new version of the lens is available and for better performance on a 60cm dish antenna.

High Quality
Manufactured to a high quality. Even though I have a good workshop with lathe, milling machine , pillar drill etc. I could have made my own. However considering each machine would need setting up and total time required. It wasn't worth it. Its all done for you and fits together perfectly with no errors. Very quick to assemble and Great Value for money.

Test de la POTY
J'ai passé cette antenne à l’analyseur d'antenne N1201SA qui monte a 2.7ghz - j'ai assemblé l'antenne en respectant bien la notice d'assemblage. Résultat sur 2.4ghz ROS de 1.8 ce qui est bon elle allume une parabole de 120cms - Je recommande personnellement la POTY je recommande sans publicité l'analyseur N1201SA et il y a sur YouTube un tuto en Français bien explicatif - je vais monter une antenne hélice et cet appareil et indispensable pour voir ou on est et régler l'aérien sur le 2.4 Ghz. 73
