About the dish diameter

It depends on:

  • Satellite we want to point to
  • Our geographical location

Installing the wall mount

First of all, you have to find an appropriate place. The requisites are two:

  • The elected place must allow the correct orientation of the dish to the satellite. Use the compass.
  • There cannot be any obstacles between the dish and the satellite.

Take the "L" wall mount, and attach it to the wall manually. Mark the positions of the future holes on the wall.

Now, drill the four holes. Take into account the right diameter (see the number engraved on the wall plug). The ideal depth for the holes is about 0,5 cm + wall plug length.

Marking and making holes

Metallic wall plugs. How it works

Wall plug explanation

Insert the four wall plugs in their holes, take the helping tool in each of them, and use the hammer to fix them.

Holes and hammer

Now take the "L" wall mount, and screw it on the wall using also the washers.

Wall mount

Let's mount the dish!

 

 

Installing the dish

Depending on the brand and model, the installation process will vary. Take a look at the instrunctions booklet.

Anyway, I show you mine:

Satellite dish and all its parts

Mount it all, including the LNB, and screw on tightly, except the screws that I marked on red. This is because you will need to turn and move the dish to point it to the right direction.

Screws that you will have to adjust

Pointing the dish to a satellite

Which satellite should you point the dish to?

It depends. You should have a view at lyngsat to find out what satellite is the most interesting for you.

Then, you can download this small app, Satellite Finder or visit Dish pointer to get the azimuth,

elevation and polarisation.

Well, it is time to point your dish.

You need three pieces of information : azimuth, elevation and LNB polarization / skew.

Azimuth

This is the dish position in respect to north. It is measured in degrees.

 

 

 

ElevationMove the dish Left and Right until the LNB arm
is pointing to the
magnetic azimuth value for your location.

This is the satellite signal beam inclination that reaches the dish. It is measured in degrees. To adjust it, you must have a look at the numbers on the rear side of the dish.

 

 

Polarisation / Skew

The polarisation is the LNB rotation in respect to floor. It is measured in degrees.

All these pieces of information depend on two factors:

  • Your geographical location.
  • The position of the satellite you want to point to.

A practical case, pointing to Astra satellite in Madrid (Spain)

I have found out the three pieces of information in this page.

147º azimuth, 38º elevation and 25º polarization

Azimuth, 147º

Compass:
Rotate the Compass until the painted tip of its
needle is on the  Zero
or (N) mark on compass face for proper
orientation. The EAST will be at
the 90 degrees, the SOUTH will be at 180 degrees
and the WEST at 270
Degrees.

 

Firstly, let's move the dish using the right azimuth. Print this image:

 

Mark azimuth (147º)

Locate north with the compass, and turn the piece of paper until the two "Norths" are lined up.

Turn the dish according to the mark in respect to the center.

Elevation, 38º

Let's elevate the dish. Skew the dish until the right position is reached, looking at the numbers and nut on the dish support.

Polarisation, 25 º

Use the piece of paper that you printed before.

 

 Move the Dish up and down and set the elevation
indicator on the value
of the elevation value for your location.

If the polarisation value is negative, you must turn back the piece of paper.

Well, it is done.

You must do the final adjustments using the receiver's signal strength indicator. You must modify the previous dish positions, very precisely and smoothly, until optimal signal quality is obtained.

Cable connections

Cut the cable insulation as described here:

Coaxial cable and F connector

Use two "F" connectors, on both ends of the cable. Connect one end to the LNB of the dish and the other one to the receiver.

All is connected and working !

Well, it is time for channel tuning. Good luck

    various satellites. All you have to do is simply sit in front of
    the TV and enter the info for the satellite that you want to
    watch, then our H2H Motorized Mount will move the dish to the
    correct angles to allow viewing of a specific FTA satellite.


 


ASSEMBLE THE MOTOR

 1.Assemble
the Digiwave DGHH990 or SG2100 Motor as the following diagram.
 2.Make sure the mounting pole is exactly vertical before installation.
 3.Fix the  Digiwave DGHH990 or SG2100 Motor onto the mounting pole.

INSTALLING THE MOTOR


I. Traditional Installation:

  1. Aiming TRUE SOUTH.

Attaching the Antenna Dish to the Motor.
Make sure it is at the center of the mounting tube. Rotate the motor
together with the antenna towards TRUE SOUTH. You can find
the TRUE SOUTH via the magnetic variation table and a
compass that indicates the MAGNETIC SOUTH.

  1. Setting Elevation Angle of the Motor.

Adjust the motor elevation angle via the
Inclinometer or the Elevation / Latitude scale on both sides
of the Motor.

  1. Setting Angle of the Dish.
  • Attach the Dish onto the motor. The
    centerline on the tube of the motor can help to mount the Dish
    on the center. Find the Declination Angle by the attached
    ANGLE TABLE.
  • Set the Declination Angle by the scale on
    the antenna dish. The reading on the Dish scale should be:

30° - DECLINATION ANGLE


 

  



  1. Drive the antenna east and west via the
    manual button on the bottom of the Motor or via Receiver
    to check if the reception arc is correct. If not, adjust the
    direction, elevation, and declination angle to find the best
    reception.

p.s. Please connect the Motor to the receiver via coaxial cable to get
the power. The Green LED will light on if the power from the
receiver is on.

II. Quick Installation (A receiver with Goto X Function is recommended):

   Rotate the motor together with the antenna towards TRUE SOUTH roughly first

    1. Set Elevation Angle of the motor:

According to the Latitude of your
location, set the elevation angle of the motor. There is also a
Latitude scale on the other side of the motor.

    1. Mount the Dish:

Mount the Dish onto the motor. The
centerline on the tube of the motor can help to mount the Dish on
the center.
Find the Declination Angle by the attached ANGLE TABLE.
Set the Declination Angle by the scale on the antenna dish. The
reading on the Dish scale should be:
30° - DECLINATION ANGLE Please refer to the drawing on
Page 2.

    1. Drive the motor to the position for
      a favorite satellite:

According to your Longitude and the
position of the wanted satellite, drive the motor to the right
position. For example, a user in Paris (Longitude is 2.5°E) wants to
aim the Hot Bird (13°E). Just drive the motor to 10.5°E(=13-2.5) via
the manual button.
If the receiver has Goto X function, just input the longitude
and wanted satellite, the receiver can calculate and drive the motor
to right angle automatically.

    1. Aim the Satellite:

Move the whole unit around the pole to
find the strongest signal from the wanted satellite.
Tighten everything and the installation is finished. It will take
about only 10 minutes.


 

CABLE CONNECTION

Connect the Motor via the coaxial cable (RG-6/U is recommended) as the following
diagram.
For the receiver, our MRX-1000 and MRX-900 is recommanded, but the motor is able
to
connect to any DiSEqC 1.2 receiver.

MANUAL BUTTON
