SG2100 Motor EASY Install Manual

STEP 1.

Make sure the pole/stand is exactly vertical to ground. Use a plumb and a level to do the vertical and level correction. Good pole/stand alignment is the first and the most essential step for the installation.

Level

Plumb

STEP 2.

Mount the motor onto the pole/stand. Align thecentreof the motor, bracket and the pole/stand to the True South. To get the True South, use a compass to determine the Magnetic South and deduct the Magnetic Declination .

STEP 3.

Mount the dish onto the motor’s tube and wire it up; then set the elevation on motor’s bracket as well as the declination on dish’s bracket according to your latitude.

See the Elevation and Declination angels table in the SG2100 Manual.	Elevation setting
Elevation setting	Declination setting

STEP 4.

Drive the motor via motor’s manual button or the receiver to aim a satellite with stronger signal, which is better but not far from the True South.

GotoXfunction can help calculate the degree the motor should rotate to.

STEP 5.

In the angle mentioned above, there should be signal, and fine tune the elevation / declination / azimuth angle / True South (Rotate the whole motor and dish) to get the best reception signal.

Then, scan the satellite and store the channels.

STEP 6.

Repeat step 4 & 5 for other satellites.

STEP 7.

After completing the installation, mark the current position just in case.
