 ADJUST THE HARDWARE LIMITS if necessary

The factory preset hardware limits are from 70°East to 70°West. If smaller azimuth range is required, adjust the hardware limits as the following:

  1. Always drive the motor to 0 position before adjust the hardware limits.
  2. Disassemble the Mounting Tube.
  3. Loose the screw on the Limit Slider. Please don’t loose the screw thoroughly; otherwise, the Slider might drop into the motor.
  4. Adjust the Limit Slider to the wanted angle ( 20~70°for East or West ) .
  5. Tighten the screws again.
  6. Assemble the Mounting Tube onto the motor. Drive the motor East and West via the Manual Button or receiver to make sure the new hardware limits are well set.
 

ASSEMBLE THE MOTOR

  1. Assemble the H-H Motor as the following diagram.
  2. Make sure the mounting pole is exactly vertical before installation.
  3. Fix the H-H 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 toward TRUE SOUTH. You can find the TRUE SOUTH via the magnetic variation table and a compass that indicates the MAGNETIC SOUTH.

    2. 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.

    3. 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:

    40° - DECLINATION ANGLE

    4. 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):

    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.

     

    2. 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: 40° - DECLINATION ANGLE Please refer to the drawing on Page

        3. 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.

     

          4. 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.

    MANUAL BUTTON

    Drive the Motor East / West via only one Manual Button on the bottom of the Motor

    1. West: Press once and keep pressing.
    2. East: Press twice within 0.5 second and then keep pressing.
    3. West Fine-tune: Press Once and release immediately for one step West.
    4. East Fine-tune: Press Twice and then release the button for one step East.

       

      INDICATING LED

      The LED on the bottom of the Motor can show the following information

      Color Status In Indication
      Green On     Power On; Standby Mode
      Orange Blink R Receiving DiSEqC 1.2 Commands / Reset Mode
      Orange On E Error Message: Over Current / Reach Hardware Limits …

    HARDWARE RESET

    1. Make sure the power from the receiver is turn-on. The indicating LED lights on.
    2. Drive the motor to 0° via the manual button.
    3. Probe the RESET button behind the bottom of the motor via a thin rod for 2 seconds. The LED blinks in Orange Color. The reset process is OK while the LED is green. The preset Satellite Table will be re-install and the current position will be set as 0°. Please cut off the power for the motor first before any operation.

    DiSEqC 1.2 OPERATION

    The Motor is designed for DiSEqC 1.2 Receiver. The commands on the receivers might be different, but similar. Please refer to the manual of the receiver.

    1. Go East / West: Drive the dish to East / West.
    2. Fine Tune East / West: Drive the dish East / West for one step.
    3. Store nn: Store Satellites Position nn (01~60).
    4. Goto nn: Drive Motor to Satellite Position nn (01~60).
    5. East / West Limits: Set software East / West limits.
    6. Limit Off: Disable the software limits.
    7. Goto 0°: Drive the Motor to 0° as a reference point.
    8. Re-synchronize / Shift: a) Drive the motor to a position by Goto command. For example, P03. b) Drive the motor East / West to a better position. c) Send Re-synchronize commands to the motor. The P03 will be shifted to the new position.

    All the other Satellite positions are also changed. d) If step a) is skipped, the P01 will be shifted to the new position.

    9. Goto X Function: e) This function only works with receivers which have goto x function. f) It can drive the motor to exact x.x° East or West in relative to the 0 position of the motor.

    ( For example, 15.2° East on the bottom of the motor.) g) Just input the longitude, some receivers can drive the antenna to focus on the right Satellites automatically

    TROUBLESHOOTING

    Symptoms

    Check points

    The Manual Button doesn’t work        1. Make sure the power of receiver is on and the indication LED on the bottom of the motor lights on.

    2. Check every devices between receiver and motor.

    The Manual Button can only drive the motor toward West        For East movement: Press the manual button twice within 1 second or shorter.
    The Motor doesn’t work       1. Make sure all cables and power are well connected. The LED on the bottom lights on.

    2. Make sure the motor is not blocked by the software limits. Try to use the manual button, which is only limited by hardware limits.
    3. Check if the receiver supports DiSEqC 1.2 and if the DiSEqC 1.2 system has been enabled.

    The Motor stops at a certain position and can’t go further.       1. Disable the software limits and drive the motor again.

    2. Check if it’s stopped by the hardware limit sliders.
    3. Make sure the Motor or antenna is not interfered with any other item.

    The Motor runs discontinuously        1. Make sure the antenna is not too heavy or too large. The maximum size is 1.2 m.
    2. Check if the cable quality is good enough. Try to use a better RG-6/U cable.
    3. Check if the output power of the receiver is less than 350mA.
    The Motor runs sometimes fast and sometimes slowly.        The speed of the Motor is according to the output voltage (13 /18V) of the receiver. Vertical=13V=slow Horizontal=18V=fast
    All satellite positions are not correct.        1. Goto One satellite position via receiver. Wait for about 30 seconds until the motor stops.

    2. Drive the antenna East or West until the reception of this satellite is clear.
    3. Use “Re-calculate” Function to correct position via receiver. Or Use Goto 0 position Function to go to 0 degree as a reference point.

    The Motor runs but stops somehow immediately This could be caused by a loosen magnet on the rear end of the DC motor inside. Please contact your vendor for repair.
    The Motor doesn’t make any movement, but clicks from inside of the motor can be heard       1. Check if the dish is too heavy. The maximum size of the antenna is 1.2 m.
    2. The DC motor inside is broken. Please contact your vendor for repair.
