INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Incorrect installation could damage the actuator.
Connecting the Actuator
The 5-way rear panel socket is used to drive the actuator unit of the dish assembly.
For a reed type actuator, connect it up as shown in Figure 1.
For an optical (photo interrupter) type actuator, connect it up as shown in Figure 2.
Consult the instructions supplied with the actuator unit to determine where each of the
coloured wires should be connected in the socket. The motor wires are generally
thicker than the optical sensor wires. It is important that the optical sensor wires are
screened and that the screen braid is connected to the ground terminal.
Connect the coaxial cable from the dish LNB to the LNB input connector on the
satellite receiver.
Connecting an Electromagnetic or Mechanical Polariser
If your LNB has an electromagnetic or mechanical polariser, connect it to the
appropriate points on the rear panel Polariser connector, as shown in Figure 3.
SCART Connection to a Pace Satellite Receiver
If you connect the Positioner to a Pace 800/900 or MSS1000 series satellite receiver
viaa full SCART lead, you can program satellite programme numbers against dish
positions. The Positioner will then automatically move the dish to the correct position
when you select a satellite programme using the receiver's handset.
Connect the receiver to the Positioner by means of a full, 21-way SCART lead. This
shouldbe used to connect up the receiver's DECODER SCART connector socket and
the Positioner's RECEIVER INTERFACE SCART connector socket.
If an external decoder was connected to the receiver's DECODER SCART connector,
you can now connect it to the Positioner's EXT. DECODER SCART connector.
Note that you can set up satellite positions at your receiver even if it is disconected
from the Dish Positioner. As soon as you connect them together with a full SCART
lead, the dish will move into position upon selecting a programme at the receiver. The
receiver sends information about the position number down the SCART lead to the
Positioner. Consult the appropriate receiver User Manual.
> USING OTHER MODELS
9000/9200 Series and MRD920
For these types of receivers, the process of storing TV programmes against
satellite positions is slightly different. Here, the satellite TV programmes
are
stored against a satellite position at the Dish Positioner whilst it is in program
mode. information about the programme number is sent down the SCART lead
to the Positioner.
First of all, connect the receiver and Positioner together using a full SCART lead.
Put the Dish Positioner into program mode.
Tune into the programme you need at the satellite receiver (via the Tuning Menu)
and search for the satellite using the EAST and WEST keys of the Dish Positioner
handset.
At your receiver Tuning Menu, press STORE and then STORE the information
against a programme number.
At your Positioner, STORE the satellite position and allocate a position number
to it. When you press STORE for the second time, this position number will be
matched up with the number for the programme you have been watching.
For these models, use the MSP995 handset or front panel buttons to bring the
Dish Positioner into and out of standby mode — your receiver handset will not
be able to do this. Further, when using these types of receivers, the "not set" error
message will not be displayed.
