40 mm LNB Adapter for Compatible TechniSat Satellite Antennas
The AS61160 is a mechanical LNB/LNC adapter designed to install a standard LNB with a 40 mm feed neck on compatible TechniSat satellite antennas.
It is particularly useful when an existing satellite reflector is still mechanically suitable but the original LNB needs to be replaced or converted to another 40 mm model.
For standard 40 mm LNBs
The holder is designed for:
LNBs with Ø 40 mm feed neck
LNCs with Ø 40 mm feed neck
The actual feed-neck diameter should be checked before installation.
For compatible TechniSat antennas
The adapter is intended for suitable TechniSat satellite antennas.
Because different TechniSat antenna and feed-arm designs exist, compatibility should be checked with the specific antenna model before installation.
The description should not be understood as universal compatibility with every TechniSat satellite dish.
Reuse an existing satellite dish
Typical applications include situations where:
the original LNB is defective
the original LNB is no longer available
another output configuration is required
the existing satellite system should be modernised
If the reflector and feed arm remain mechanically sound, the existing antenna can continue to be used.
Suitable for different 40 mm LNB types
Provided there is sufficient mechanical clearance, the adapter can be combined with suitable:
Single LNBs
Twin LNBs
Quad LNBs
Quattro LNBs
Unicable/SCR LNBs
The adapter itself has no electrical function.
Mechanical adapter only
The AS61160 does not provide:
switching
signal amplification
multiswitch functionality
DiSEqC control
Unicable/SCR processing
These functions depend on the installed LNB and the connected distribution system.
Check LNB housing size
LNBs with identical 40 mm feed necks can have very different housing dimensions.
Sufficient clearance around the feed arm and adapter should therefore be checked.
Recheck reception after installation
After replacing the LNB, it is recommended to check:
LNB position
LNB skew
signal strength
signal quality
Small changes in feed position can affect reception.
Plastic construction
The product is described as a plastic adapter in the available product information.
Legacy descriptions also refer to weather-resistant construction.
Due to the change of manufacturer, no additional specific material grade or certified UV properties are stated without further confirmation.
Suitable applications
The AS61160 may be used for:
replacing an obsolete original LNB
converting a compatible TechniSat dish to a 40 mm LNB
installing a Twin LNB
installing a Quad LNB
installing a Quattro LNB
installing a compatible Unicable/SCR LNB
repairing and modernising existing satellite systems
Cable routing
Coaxial cables should be supported so that unnecessary mechanical load is not transferred to the LNB or feed holder.
Weather protection of connectors
The adapter does not provide weather sealing for the LNB’s F connectors.
Outdoor coaxial connections must be installed appropriately for the selected cable and connector system.
Package accessories
Legacy product information mentions:
hex installation tool
illustrated installation instructions
short installation description
Because the manufacturer has changed, the current package contents should be checked before these individual accessories are guaranteed.
