 Status 315 Omni-Directional Antenna  (Digital and Analogue reception)

 


Designed for mobile use, the STATUS 315 satisfies a number of important criteria, whilst overcoming some of the compromises associated with this design of antenna.

In the UK and a number of overseas countries TV signals are transmitted horizontally and vertically. Vertical reception requires a vertical receiver. The S315 achieves this with the Central Pinnacle. A clever solution which creates a distinctive profile setting it apart from the rest.

TV reception can be greatly affected by the orientation of the antenna and it is crucial that all antennas are mounted level. Therefore the S315 has the ability to be finely adjusted to remain level on gradients up to 22 degrees – a unique feature only offered by STATUS.

The Omni-Directional S315 receives TV signals through 360 degrees using an electronic amplifier to boost signals.

The S315 is available in two models depending on your particular installation. Both are designed to be versatile, offering three fitting options as standard - Permanent Fitting - 25mm Mast Fitting and Suction Pad Fitting. The Permanent option can even be mounted over a small locker, as well as a wardrobe. The S315/5 has 5 metres of coaxial cable and the S315/10 has 10 metres.

For ease of use the Pinnacle can be simply unscrewed in those instances where storage height is a problem. Furthermore, the antenna itself can be removed leaving in place the Mounting Foot, which can be sealed with a blanking cap.

And finally – Operation – it couldn't be simpler. Simply switch on your television and tune in.

The S315 has a proven track record of being the countries most popular Omni-Directional Antenna. By combining the latest in technology and design we believe we manufacture the best all round Omni-Directional antenna on the market today.

 Status 530 Directional Antenna (Digital and Analogue reception)


Producing a Directional Antenna to carry the STATUS name was not an easy task. This new antenna needed to satisfy some critical criteria whilst providing the levels or quality, performance and design expected.

We have designed an efficient, wide-band, log periodic dipole array which incorporates specially designed telescopic antennas, the S530 produces exceptional performance across all UHF, VHF and FM signals.

One of the most significant features of the S530 is the setting up and positioning of your antenna when you arrive on site.

Firstly we had to overcome the problem of receiving horizontal and vertical signals with an antenna fixed to a mast mounted through the roof. Our solution is to incorporate an integral gearbox into the antenna dome, operated by a winder handle, which cants the antenna through 90 degrees. A clever and unique feature only offered by STATUS.

The greatest benefit of our design was to simplify locating a TV transmitter whenever you arrived at a new destination. Firstly, raising and lowering the antenna dome and adjusting its direction can all be performed in the warmth and comfort of indoors. Then simply turning the folding winder changes the antennas' polarity from horizontal to vertical.

The S530 is available in two different mast lengths depending on your particular installation and mounting requirements. Both units have the benefit of being angle adjustable, by up to 15 degrees, to allow level fixing on a sloping surface – important if your mounting surface is not horizontal.

The S530/5 has 2 metres of coaxial cable and a 365mm mast, which raises the antenna dome 230mm above the roof. This short mast model is simpler to fit, only requiring the roof for support. More importantly, it has been specifically designed to be fit inside the majority of overhead lockers.

The S530/10 has 5 metres of coaxial cable, a 920mm mast and an extra mounting bracket which allows the antenna to be raised 550mm above the roof for that extra performance. This model requires a vertical surface for mounting the Wall Bracket and is usually located in a wardrobe.

Once installed both units sit low to the roofline for travelling and storage, being only 150mm high. However removal of a fully assembled antenna is straightforward and can be lifted out without any dismantling.

We are confident we have achieved our design brief. The S530 is clearly focused on performance as well as successfully addressing a number of operational issues to produce possibly the most powerful and user friendly directional antenna for mobile use, on the market today.
