Pace MSP 995 - PROGRAMMING SATELLITE POSITIONS; Setting Up Position Numbers

SATELLITE POSITIONS
The MSP995 Dish Positioner allows you to assign a satellite position number for
each satellite you want to pick up. Then, upon entering this position number, the dish
will be moved to the preset position.
Using the MSP995 in conjunction with a Pace 800/900 or MSS1000 series Satellite
Receiver provides you with extra functionality. You can then operate the system from
your satellite receiver handset. The satellite dish will move into the correct position
when you select a TV programme on your receiver.
The diagram below shows a simplified scenario, involving just two satellites for
reasons of clarity. The two satellites have been allocated different position numbers
as shown — one position per polarity type (H or V). Note the 3-digit position. This
is used by the Dish Positioner to indicate the distance moved from the East limit of
the panning range. It does not show the actual geographical position of the satellite,
but is an indication of how far from your East limit you are.

Setting up Position Numbers
The MSP995 Dish Positioner allows you to assign up to a maximum of 128 position
numbers. You can set up satellite position numbers using just your MSP995 Dish
Positioner but we advise that you use the Dish Positioner in conjunction with a Pace
satellite TV receiver. This lets you operate the system directly from your satellite
receiver handset.
With your receiver connected via a SCART lead to the Dish Positioner RECEIVER
INTERFACE socket, follow these steps to set up satellite positions:-
* Firstly, ensure that your Dish Positioner is in normal mode. (Press NORM on
your Positioner handset, if necessary.)
* Atyour satellite TV receiver, enter the Tuning Menu and type in the frequency
of the programme you are interested in. (You may want to consult a satellite TV
programme listing sheet.)
¢ Enteranumber atthe SATELLITE option. (You will need to use the < and keys
on your receiver handset.) Each satellite you want to receive from must be
assigned a number. This will exactly correspond to the position number you set
up at the Dish Positioner.
¢ Press STORE on your receiver handset. Then enter a programme number as
prompted and press STORE once again.
