We get this question a lot. Here are the steps to a successful installation:
1- Select your installation site carefully!!!: There must be a clear line of sight between the required satellites and the entire surface of the dish. The line of sight must be free from obstructions, such as trees, roof tiles etc.
2- It is very important to make sure the HH motor is fixed to a perfectly vertical mast. Time spent measuring this accurately will save you hours later on.
3- If the HH motor shaft is not at zero degrees (0 reference), you should get it back to zero degrees by connecting the receiver to the motor. The receiver must be ON for the HH Motor to move. It’s easier to do this before placing the H-H Motor onto the mast. Once you have done this, the HH Motor should then be disconnected from the receiver. HH Motors are usually set to zero degrees by default from the factory.
4- Fit the HH Motor onto the mast and do the nuts up finger tight.
5- Set the elevation angle for the motor. This angle should be equal to the latitude value of the installation location. Always use the Latitude scale on the motor. NOTE: Tighten all the coaxial cable connections only by hand. Using a wrench may over-tighten the connections, causing damage. Such damage is not covered by the Limited warranty.
6-Fit the dish on the H-H Motor shaft and tighten the nuts. The middle of the dish clamp must be lined up with the centre line on the H-H Motor arm. The LNBF arm, dish clamp, HH Motor, and mast must all be on the same straight line facing TRUE SOUTH.
