[QUOTE="waverider, post: 568148, member: 176800"] Fix the bracket and pole on a, near enough, south facing wall. Important: Ensure pole is absolutely vertical; use a spirit level. Whilst the motor is not mounted on the pole set its elevation/latitude to your locations latitude [to get this information enter your postcode on [url]www.multimap.com][/url]. If the motor has only elevation markings set it to 90 minus your latitude. Fully tighten up as it will not have to be adjusted again. Assemble the LNB arm onto the dish. Whilst still off the pole attach the dish to the motor. Important: Ensure the dish is parallel to the motor mount; there should be a vertical line on the motor to align with the dish bracket. Fully tighten up as it will not have to be adjusted again. Consult the motor manual to set the dish elevation angle. Only loosely tighten this because it may need to be adjusted as these scales are not always accurate. Mount the whole assembly onto the pole and point as close as possible to South. Only loosely tighten this because it will need to be adjusted. Mount the LNB onto the dish's LNB arm. Wire the LNB to the motor, and wire the motor to the receivers location. Connect to the receiver, and switch the receiver on. Navigate to the 'Motorized' setup, select 'USALS' as motor type for all the satellites and enter the longitude and latitude for your location. Navigate to the 'Motorized'/'Advanced' screen and view the signals for Thor (0.8W) transponder 11324H24500. Manually adjust the dish to get the best signal by only moving the motor around the pole and adjusting the elevation angle of the dish. Do not move anything else. When you have a good signal (Level: 90+, Quality: 70+) fully tighten everything. It is advisable to view the signal strengths for the satellites at 28.2E and 30W, to ensure the arc is correct. The list below will help you. If either of these satellites have poor signals you will need to re-adjust the dish as the previous two steps. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Satellite List The following table lists the strongest transponders and minimum dish size for most satellites [updated: Nov 2007]: Satellite Name Position Min.
