Setting up the motor SG2100 Positioner to install with dish

[mjl12407]

1- It is sometimes easier to fit the dish to the mover before fitting the mover to the pole.
Check that the dish is facing exactly the same way as the zero mark on the dish mover.
Then make a mark on the dish mover shaft, and the dish mounting hardware with a permanent marker.

2-Make sure the mounting pole is perfectly vertical. Even if your pole is already setup, check it
with a spitit level as this is very very important.

3-Mark your latitude . Fit the dish mover to the mounting bracket at your latitude,make sure to use the latitude scale and not the elevation scale. Check that the marker
points to the exact latitude for your site. Do the bolts up tight as this is never changed again.

4-With the dish motor Azimuth on Zero ( It is on zero when supplied ) fit the dish mover to the
pole facing true north using a compass .(True North is magnetic north minus 22 deg, this works out to 338 deg compass.)
Do the bolts up, but you will move this again in the last
step.
5-Fit the dish to the dish mover and also have it facing true north. On some dishes you will
need to bend the mount tab out of the way to slide the dish onto the motor shaft. This is where step one may help, you can just fit the dish to the mark you put on the mover and dish mount.

6-Set the elevation on the dish to the elevation as per the “Dish Bracket Angle,Remember to use the setting for your latitude. You marked it in step 3.
The adjustment for this elevation is on the dish not the mover

7-You can fit the extra bolt supplied to the hole in the motor shaft below the dish clamp to
stop the dish sliding off while the clamp is loose . Remember the dish and motor need to be
in a straight line to true north.

8-Set the LNB skew about 10 deg clockwise to start. That means when you are looking into
the dish, at the back of the LNB, the LNB cable connector should start facing down as
though to 6 o’clock. Now turn the LNB in it’s mounting bracket 10 deg clockwise, or until the
connector is facing about the 7 o’clock position.

9-The receiver USALS (the name for the dish mover controller program) has to be enabled in
the menu and you need to enter in your site location ,
.If the receiver has been programmed for the satellite positions already, use the receiver to move the dish to a known satellite of your choice

10-When the dish motor has moved to the satellite of your choice position then using a satellite meter adjust the Azimuth by moving the entire setup that both the motor and dish together.
Elevation fine tuning is done by changing the dish elevation for max signal.
Do not change the motor elevation. Tighten all clamps and check the LNB skew for best reading on the meter. All the satellite will now be found automatically.
