When you install a motorised satellite dish, you
must first set the mechanical limits of travel,
to physically prevent the dish from moving into
a building or areas where it may cause an
obstruction.
When you have set the mechanical limits, you
must set the motor position limits; these
should be just within the mechanical limits of
travel.
To set the west motor limit:
1. Use the colour buttons to manually
adjust the motor (see page 35), until the
dish is almost at its mechanical limit of
westward travel.
2. Press the Info button to display the
Limits screen.
3. To set the west limit, press the green
button.
To set the east motor limit:
1. Use the colour buttons to manually
adjust the motor (see page 35), until the
dish is almost at its mechanical limit of
eastward travel.
2. Press the Info button to display the
Limits screen.
3. To set the east limit, press the yellow
button.
You can, if you wish, disable the motor
position limits. Note, however, that the motor
may be overloaded if you allow it to move the
dish right up to a mechanical limit of travel.
1. Press the Info button to display the
Limits screen.
2. To disable limits, press the red button.
To redisplay the Setting antenna screen,
without setting or disabling limits, press the
Exit button.
Use the buttons to choose how you want
to adjust the motor position. This is displayed
in the box below the current satellite’s name.
Moving to position 0
Press either button to start the motor and
move the dish to position ‘0’ (facing south).
Moving to preset position
Press either button to start the motor and
move the dish to the preset position for the
currently selected satellite, normally as shown
on the Reception screen. Note that you can
override this position on the Position screen
(see page 35).
Positioning
Press either button to start the motor and
move the dish to the position for the currently
selected satellite, as shown on the Position
screen (see page 35). Note that this position
can be different from the satellite’s preset
position shown on the Reception screen.
Scanning with auto stop
Use this method to adjust the motor position
until the signal power (%) from the satellite
transponder is at a satisfactory level, at which
point the motor will automatically stop.
Press the button to start the motor and
move the dish towards the west, or the
button to start the motor and move the dish
towards the east.
Scanning with manual stop
Press the button to start the motor and
move the dish towards the west, or the
button to start the motor and move the dish
towards the east.
When you decide that the signal power (%)
from the satellite transponder is at a
satisfactory level, press OK to stop the motor.
