Unpacking The Dish From The Shipping Crate - MotoSAT DataStorm Installation Manual

This guide is provided as a help and not a total solution for every installation.
Common sense and concern for customers equipment will make for a good installation.
COMMON SENSE
Dielectric Grease
We strongly recommend that DICOR roof sealant be used with any job where holes need to be sealed on a vehicle. Dicor
has proven to be superior to other silicon sealants.
Dielectric Grease is needed to create a water tight barrier for electronic connections. Please make sure that the grease
you are using is dielectric, which means it does not conduct electricity.
COAX CABLE (also know as RG6)
The DataStorm is shipped with 30' of coax cable to wire your system. If you choose to purchase additional coax cable, it
MUST be of a high quality and swept-tested.
COAX CABLE CONNECTORS
MotoSAT insists that you use coax connectors that do not have a rubber washer for weatherproofing. We recommend
using very high-grade connectors and sealing them with Dielectric grease upon installation. These connectors are exposed
to severe weather and should be treated as vital connections.
STEP 1. UNPACKING THE DISH FROM THE SHIPPING CRATE
Remove the screws that hold the DataStorm to the shipping crate and remove the DataStorm Dish.
RAISING THE DISH MANUALLY - To raise the dish after unpacking it from the shipping crate, find the Control Cable that is
connected to the mount. You'll notice two wire leads (Red & Orange) sticking out from the Control Cable. To raise the dish,
connect the Red lead to a positive 12-volt or 9 volt lead, and the Orange lead to negative. (Use of a Power Screwdriver
battery is also recommended). Reverse the leads to lower the dish.
