- Page 3 Motorised installation Foreword This user manual will explain to you how to install a motorised installation with a motor ref: 450907. Such installation needs some operations, on the motor, but also on the satellite receiver you intend to use with.
- Page 4 1 - Put the receiver on the reference satellite channel If the receiver is pre programmed, put it on the satellite channel you want. Choose preferably a channel with a high symbol rate (SR), which means greater or equal to 22 000. Diagram 1: reference channel Satellite Position...
- Page 5 reception level. Note: The size of the level indicator does not have a real importance in itself. What is important it is the variation when you move the dish or the motor. When the level is going up a bit, stop the rotation to check if the quality level increases.

- Page 8 Prepare the motor (see diagram 2) Assembling • Make sure the fixing (tube or stand off arm) is stable and strictly vertical. An error bigger than 1 degree (2 cm, or 3/4 inch per meter) from the vertical will preclude the motor for working properly.
- Page 10 Angle adjustment Look at the Europe map (diagram 3) and find your elevation angle in relation to the horizontal line. For example, about 31,5° for Glasgow, 38° for Bordeaux and 39,5° for Napoli, 34,5° for Brussels. When the right angle as been adjusted, tighten the screws. Be sure to read the angle on the side labelled «ELEVATION», not on the side labelled «LATITUDE»...

- Page 12 Connection For the installation you will need 2 pieces of cable. The first one, roughly 1,5m (5ft) to go from the LNB to the motor, the second one as long as it takes to go from the motor to the receiver. Prepare the cables and assemble the “F”...
- Page 13 receiver Reset the motor and checking of the stop The reset of the motor is to reset its position, and put it at 0°, which means face south. Go into the DiSEqC 1.2 menu and then reset the motor • The motor will reset while looking for his reference position.
- Page 14 Prepare the motor You will now store the position of Hot Bird then put back the motor precisely at 0° to assemble the satellite dish. 1) Put the receiver on the Hotbird reference channel 2) Give a number to the Hotbird satellite (in any doubt put 4), and then wait that the motor stops turning.
- Page 15 Exemple for London 5) Store the Hotbird position 6) Reset the motor to bring it back to the 0° position. 7) Switch off the receiver, take off the cables and then fix the motor on the wall mount or mast. Tighten the screws (4) with such a torque that it doesn’t fall down, but to still allow to turn around the mast.
- Page 16 Satellite dish assembling Assemble the different parts of the satellite dish (see the user manual included with it). Assemble the satellite dish on the motor • Assemble the satellite dish and fix it on the motor’s stem. The satellite dish U-Bolt must be as low as possible on the stem.

- Page 18 Assembling the LNB head Check the LNB and receiver user manual. Checking Before going to the final stage (the alignment) check that your installation looks like the picture below (exept the cables).
- Page 19 Alignment / Satellite dish orientation • At the end of the step K, you will receive the Hotbird reference channel on the television screen. Do not go to step L (adjusting the alignment) if you do not receive this channel. 1) Put the receiver on the Hotbird reference channel then display the signal indicator 2) While checking the level, sweep slowly (for 20...
- Page 20 Orientation adjustment • Put the receiver on the Atlantic Bird 3 reference channel. This satellite doesn’t broadcast popular or interesting channels. However, its position in the sky makes it an interesting one for dish and motor alignment. • Check in diagram the Atlantic Bird 3 angular reading of your geographical area.
- Page 21 Second case: You have a bad reception and you have to adjust slightly the satellite dish position angle (1 or 2 degrees) to receive correctly Atlantic Bird 3. In that case, the design curve of the motor is out of line with the real curve. We then advise you to go back to the step K while putting 2°...
- Page 22 Validation of the satellites For each satellite, you have now to storethe right position in the motor. The operation is done for Hotbird and Atlantic Bird 3, you have to do it for Astra, etc. Example for Astra 19° E •...
- Page 23 Electronic limits Your motor has got mechanical limits that preclude from moving too far east or west (maximum +/- 75 degrees roughly). These mechani- cal limits are not adjustable. If ever you put the motor in a location where there is a risk for the dish to hit an obstacle, then you must set electronic limit.
