Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our antennas and your order
Automatic Antennas (satellite)
My antenna no longer finds the satellite, what should I do?
This depends on the purchase date of your device and the package used (FRANSAT or TNTSAT). Contact our after-sales service with this information for an accurate diagnosis.
Which satellites and packages are compatible?
Our antennas automatically lock onto the main satellites and are compatible with TNTSAT, FRANSAT, and CANAL+.
How does automatic aiming work?
A quality, fast, and silent motorization system (BOSCH) automatically searches for and positions itself on the selected satellite.
Can I install the antenna myself, or have it installed?
Both are possible! The system is plug-and-play and easy to install yourself. If you prefer, an "Purchase + Installation" package is available for several models for professional installation.
How do I update my antenna's software?
Via USB, with the ZEN-RAD TOOL software.
Is my antenna weather-resistant?
Yes, our automatic antennas are designed to withstand bad weather.
My antenna performs its search cycle but doesn't find the satellite, what should I check?
Several points to check in order:
- Absence of obstacles (trees, buildings) in the reception field
- The default configured satellite matches the one you wish to receive
- The F-connector connection (ANT IN) is in good condition
- The antenna's initial elevation (a reset via the "elevation reset" function may be necessary)
- The condition of the parabolic reflector (a deformation or dent disrupts the signal)
- The correspondence between the INIT value on the antenna's nameplate and that of the positioner
- The positioner's update (available on zen-rad.com)
The antenna positions itself on a satellite but I have no signal or image, what should I do?
Check in order:
- That the antenna is properly positioned before turning on the receiver
- That the receiver does not need an update
- That the default configured satellite is correct
- The selected source on the TV (HDMI, scart...)
- The F-connector connection (ANT LOOP OUT) is in good condition
- The condition of the parabolic reflector
- The positioner's update
My antenna raises, performs a search, then closes, why?
There is a blind spot at the rotation limit stop. If the satellite is exactly in this direction, the antenna cannot refine its aiming and automatically retracts. Simply turn your vehicle a few degrees to solve the problem.
My antenna does not raise or rotate correctly, what should I check?
Check in order:
- Obstruction around the antenna
- The motor cable (grey) is in good condition
- The correspondence between the INIT value on the nameplate and that of the positioner
5G Router Antenna (Aero 5G)
Which routers are compatible with the Aero 5G?
Universal SMA connectors, compatible with most 4G/5G routers on the market.
What is the length of the cable provided?
A 3-meter cable is included, allowing you to position your router wherever you want.
Does it receive signal while driving?
Yes, 4G/5G internet works independently of the satellite function, even while driving.
Do you offer a compatible router as an add-on?
Yes, the ZEN-NET 5G Pro Router (dual-band WiFi 6, 5G, Dual SIM) is available in the store.
4Gemini Satellite Antenna (satellite + internet)
What is the difference from a classic satellite antenna?
The 4Gemini range combines satellite reception AND a 4G/5G internet connection in a single roof pass-through unit.
What diameters are available?
60, 65, and 85 cm, depending on your gain and size requirements.
Is there a version that also receives DTT?
Yes, the "Combo" version (e.g., 4Gemini Combo 65) adds terrestrial reception (DTT) in addition to satellite and internet.
What is the 4Gemini Search Box for?
It is the control unit that manages the satellite positioner and the 4G router, independently of each other.

What is the difference between diameters (60/65/85)?
A larger diameter offers higher gain and better reception, at the cost of greater bulk.
