PrimeSat 1m Aluminium Offset Satellite Dish – Anthracite Grey RAL 7016

The PrimeSat 1m Aluminium Offset Satellite Dish is a high-quality satellite antenna designed for reliable Ku-band satellite television reception. Manufactured from lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminium and finished in durable RAL 7016 Anthracite Grey powder coating, this dish offers excellent performance combined with long-term outdoor durability.

With approximate reflector dimensions of 95cm wide × 100cm high, the PrimeSat provides a generous collecting area, making it particularly suitable for European satellite reception, fringe reception areas and installations where a conventional smaller satellite dish may not provide sufficient signal strength.

The dish features an offset reflector design, providing efficient signal collection without the obstruction associated with traditional prime-focus antennas.

Key Features

• High-performance reflector – quoted gain of 40.3dB at 12.75GHz.
• Lightweight aluminium construction – weighing approximately 6.1kg.
• RAL 7016 Anthracite Grey – durable powder-coated finish.
• Corrosion-resistant construction – ideal for permanent outdoor installation.
• Offset reflector design – efficient signal collection without central LNB obstruction.
• Suitable for Ku-band satellite reception – compatible with appropriate Ku-band LNBs.
• Ideal for European satellite reception – including Astra, Hot Bird and other compatible satellite positions.
• Suitable for fringe reception – offers improved signal collection compared with smaller satellite dishes.

Aluminium Construction and Weather Resistance

Unlike conventional steel satellite dishes, the PrimeSat reflector is manufactured from aluminium, providing excellent corrosion resistance without the risk of conventional red rust.

Aluminium construction also reduces weight compared with an equivalent steel reflector, making the antenna easier to handle and install.

The dish is finished in RAL 7016 Anthracite Grey powder coating, providing an additional protective layer against weathering and an attractive, professional appearance.

This combination makes the PrimeSat particularly suitable for long-term outdoor installations, including exposed locations.

High-Performance Offset Reflector

The PrimeSat features an offset-fed reflector design, commonly used in modern satellite television installations.

Unlike traditional prime-focus dishes, where the LNB is positioned directly in front of the centre of the reflector, an offset antenna positions the LNB below the main reflecting surface.

This design offers several advantages:

• No central obstruction from the LNB or feed assembly.
• Efficient use of the reflector's collecting area.
• Reduced accumulation of rainwater and snow compared with upward-facing prime-focus designs.
• Suitable for standard offset-type Ku-band LNB installations.

With a quoted gain of 40.3dB at 12.75GHz, the PrimeSat offers strong signal collection for a dish of this size.

Ideal for European and Fringe Satellite Reception

A 1m satellite dish provides additional signal collection compared with conventional 60cm or 80cm dishes, making it particularly useful where reception conditions are less favourable.

The PrimeSat is suitable for a wide range of satellite television applications, including:

• Astra satellite reception
• Hot Bird satellite reception
• European satellite television services
• International satellite channels
• Fringe-area reception
• Installations requiring additional signal margin
• Domestic and specialist satellite receiving systems

Actual reception will depend on geographical location, satellite transmission footprint, LNB performance and installation quality.

Technical Specifications

Installation Information

The PrimeSat 1m dish should be installed on a suitable, securely fixed mounting pole or bracket capable of supporting the antenna and withstanding local wind loading.

Accurate alignment is essential for optimum satellite reception, particularly when receiving weaker signals.

For best results, we recommend using a suitable satellite signal meter and ensuring the mounting structure is completely rigid.
