- Page 3 Motorised installation Foreword This user manual will explain to you how to install a motorised installation with a motor ref: 450908. Such installation needs some operations, on the motor, but also on the satellite receiver you would like to use with it. As the motor can work with all types of receivers, it is impossible to be precise on the kind of operations that you will have to do on your receiver.
- 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 debit (SR), which means greater or equal to 22 000. 2 - Go into the DiSEqC 1.2 menu This menu allows you to make the motor spin.
- Page 5 6 - Give a number to a satellite Check in your receiver user manual how to associate a number to each satellite. If it is not possible, leave the existing number system. 7 - Memorise a satellite position This function is generally called memorised, store, saved… 8 - Display the signal indicator Generally, the signal indicator appears when pressing on the INFO key.

- Page 12 Connection For the installation you will need 2 pieces of cable. The first one, roughly 1,5m (4,92ft) 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 Reset the motor and checking of the stop The reset of the motor is to reinitialise its position, and not to put him at 0°, which means face south. Go into the DiSEqC 1.2 menu and then reset the motor •...
- Page 14 Prepare the motor You will now memorised the Hot Bird position then take 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 spinning.
- Page 15 5) Memorised the Hotbird position 6) With the Continuing rotation then a step by step rotation , bring the motor precisely at the 0° position. 7) Switch off the receiver, take off the cables and then fix the motor on the top end of the support. 8) Direct approximately the motor towards the south.
- Page 16 Satellite dish assembling Assemble the different elements from the satellite dish in checking the user manual included with it. Assemble the satellite dish on the motor • Assemble the satellite dish and fix it on the motor’s mast. The satellite dish U-Bolt must be the highest as possible on the angled arm to avoid the bottom of the dish to touch the motor.

- 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 it. 1) Put the receiver on the Hotbird reference channel then display the signal indicator 2) Launch a slow scan (for 20 seconds) a quarter of the way on the right, then a quarter of the way on the left...

- Page 22 17, gives you the satellites relative position for which some channels are pre-programmed in the metronic receivers. When you receive all the satellites, screw definitively all the nuts. Your installation is finished. Note: The Hispasat reception with a motorised installation is very difficult and need a perfect alignment.
- Page 23 Reminder : Atlantic Bird 3 = ex Telecom 2C Mechanical stop adjustments This adjustment may be necessary if you fixed your motor on a gable. From set up, the stops are adjusted at 45° East and 45° West. This adjustment is suitable for a fixing on a gable if Fragile cord: correctly maintain...
- Page 24 Adjustment procedure (West then East) West: from the 0° position, make the motor spin toward the west until the satellite dish being near the obstacle. Without unscrewing the big Phillips screw, pull towards you the white cylinder (the top and the bottom) and then make it spin to make the bottom stops faces the sensor.
