MOTOR INSTALLATION
A. Traditional Installation
1. Make sure the mounting pole is exactly vertical before installation by using inclinometer (figure a )
or plumb line (figure b ) as below.

2. Fix the H-H Motor on the mounting pole and the dish onto the motor tube.
Make sure there is no obstacle in the southern sky, such as a tree or building.

4. Aiming TRUE SOUTH. (or TRUE NORTH for the Southern Hemisphere)
Rotate the motor all together with the dish toward TRUE SOUTH by hand. You can find MAGNETIC
SOUTH by a compass, then deduct the magnetic declination to get TRUE SOUTH.
5. Setting Elevation Angle of the Motor.(A)
Adjust the motor elevation angle via the Inclinometer or the Elevation/Latitude scale on both sides of
the Motor according to the Latitude of your position.
6. Setting Declination Angle on the Dish.(B)
● Attach the dish onto the motor. The center line on the tube of the motor can help to mount the
Dish on the center. According to the latitude of your location, find the Declination Angle by the
attached ANGLE TABLE in page7 .
● Set the Declination Angle by the scale on the antenna dish. The reading on the Dish scale
should be: 30-minus DECLINATION ANGLE

7. Move the antenna East and West using either the manual buttons on the bottom of the motor or
the receiver controls verifying the reception arc is correct. If incorrect fine tune the TRUE SOUTH
direction, elevation and declination angle for optimum signal strength.
a. For receiver operation, connect the coaxial cable between the Motor and the receiver to provide
power to the motor.
b. There will be a green LED indicator when power is available.
B. Quick Installation
We recommend you use a receiver with a Goto X Function.
1. Perform steps 1 thru 3 on page 2.
2. Set the Elevation angle
a. Set the elevation angle according to your Latitude location.
b. There is also a Latitude Scale on the motor.
3. Mount the Antenna Dish:
a. Mount the Antenna Dish onto the motor.
b. Use the center line on the tube for aligning the motor and the antenna dish.
c. Find the Declination Angle on the Angle table for your latitude on page 7.
d. Set the Declination Angle using the scale on the antenna dish.
e. The reading on the dish scale should read 30 degrees -(minus) Declination Angle.
4. Operate the motor for maximum signal strength with the goto X Function.
a. Enter the Longitude and Latitude of you location
b. Choose a satellite with good signal strength
c. The receiver will calculate and drive the motor to the correct position.
5. Positioning the antenna dish.
a. Rotate the motor assembly around the pole to find the strongest signal from the selected
satellite.
b. Secure all the hardware and you are ready for normal operation.

MANUAL BUTTONS
Drive the Motor East/West via two Manual Buttons on the bottom of the Motor:
A. East: Press and hold EAST button.
B. West: Press and hold WEST button.
C. East Fine-tune: Press EAST button and release immediately for one step east.
D. West Fine-tune: Press WEST button and release immediately for one step west.
LED INDICATOR
The LED indicator on the bottom of the motor can show the following information:

HARDWARE RESET
A. Go East / West: Rotate the dish to the East and then to the West.
B. Fine Tune East/West position.
C. Save and store the Satellite position## Example 45.
D. Goto##: Move the antenna to the ## position.
E. East/West Limits: Program the East and West limits.
F. Limit Off: Disable the software limits.
G. Goto “0”: Drive the motor to the 0 degree position for reference.
H. Re-synchronize/shifting
a. Drive the motor using the Goto command to a position…..example PO3
b. Drive the motor East/West for a more optimum position.
c. Re-synchronize the motor with new command.
d. The position PO3 will be shifted to the new position, and, all other programmed entries will
also be shifted.
e. Omitting Step A will cause PO1 to be shifted to the new\ position.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The manual buttons don’t work 1. Make sure the power of the receiver is on and the LED light on the bottom of the motor
is on.
2. Make sure there are no other devices in the coax line between the receiver and the
motor.
Motor doesn’t work
1. Make sure all cables and connectors are clean and snug.
2. Make sure the motor is not blocked by the software limits setting in your receiver.
3. Try using the manual buttons on the motor.
4. Confirm that your receiver supports DiSEqC1.2 and that you have the DiSEqC 1.2
enabled in your receiver.
Sometimes the motor runs fast and Output voltage of the receiver can effect the speed of the motor. Vertical is 13 volts and can
Sometimes it runs slow. cause the motor to run slower than Horizontal which is 18 volts.
