***BGonaSTICK*** · 25-11-2004

LOL,

Just put my latest dish together. No instructions included. No instructions on Triax website. Works fine. Looks good.

Problem :-

I still have these spare parts!!!

Anyone with a brain got a clue?

Thanks!

i have this dish myself
and the piece on the right fits inside the clamp that attaches
to the dish (v important) for strength i think
piece on left slides inside the dish bracket(the bit the clamp attaches to)
hope this helps

I'm pretty sure you're right about the curvy bit. The curvature is exactly the same as the inside of the big rear bracket, but I can't see it's purpose, or how it's attatched. You're probably right about the boxy bit also, but I'm completely stumped as to how or where it goes.

Don't suppose you have the instructions still do you?

***BGonaSTICK*** · 25-11-2004

Ahhh, no hang on... do you mean that the boxy bit fits inside the large steel clamp that fixes to the pole with the huge 'U' bolts (and seems to stop it compressing too much)? Are the two holes in the boxy bit supposed to bolt through the two small holes on the pole side of the huge clamp?

**gameboy** · 25-11-2004

Every time the mechanics work on my cars they have bits left over - they throw them away - say they are over engineered.

What do you think?

***BGonaSTICK*** · 26-11-2004

So THAT's where it goes!

**RedDevil_UK** · 26-11-2004

i know what them bits are for....

they stick them in the box on purpose... knowing you will be really worried when they are left

i have the same dish outside this window.... will take a pick of the back of it when its lighter tomorrow if you like

That would be really cool. I can't get any sense out of the folks who sold it to me ATM. All the stock they have come without instructions!

On the curvey part in the photo, there is a bent tag at one end. I could really do with knowing if it goes at the top or the bottom. I'm assuming that it goes INSIDE the main bracket on the dish.

The other box-shaped effort seems to sort of fit inside the pole clamp thing, but again, which way up, and does it bolt on?

Thanks folks.

Better still, a copy of the instructions...

I just have to have these things right

Just put one of these exact same triax 110 cm, no spare parts left up yesterday. But they put the wrong lnb holder in it. You know the one that fits into the end of the arm. Its supposed to click in but the one i got i think is for an 80cm dish as its pointing down to the very bottom of dish. Its very annoying, no signal whats so ever on it. I knew when i was putting it up it would cause trouble. Had to put the smaller dish back up. Going back to sat retailer now with the lnb holder. How annoying is that. Come on triax get it right.

**RedDevil_UK** · 26-11-2004

to be honest mate after looking for them parts on my dish, i aint got a clue what they are??

they must have left them off my dish too lol

the picture is probably no help at all, as i took a picture with my phone on zoom, leaning out of the top window ahhaha

**dynamo985** · 26-11-2004

holy crap, my dish hasnt been able to find the arc properly for months, coukd this be because i have the motor upside down? I have it on the other way than the one in the photo above. With the pole bit facing up, or doesnt it matter?

**rolfw** · 26-11-2004

LOL, yes, it matters very much, but some motors have the arm above and some below.

**dynamo985** · 26-11-2004

so how do i know if i need it up or below, i got a disceq 1.2 motor.

**rolfw** · 26-11-2004

Most that look like that will be DiseqC 1.2, a good guide would be the positioning of the cable connectors, if they are on the top, then the motor is probably upside down. Also, if the dish turns upwards when moving away from due Soth, the motor is the wrong way up.

**dynamo985** · 26-11-2004

the cables r on the bottom, but the dish certainly doesnt turn down as it moves from due south.

**rolfw** · 26-11-2004

If you can take a picture of it, we can let you know. The dish doesn't so much tilt down as swivel in its own axis, do you know what make it is?

**dynamo985** · 26-11-2004

i tried taking a pic earlier but it was dark lol, but the dish is brand less, got it from hisat, and i dunno bout motor. But i will take pic later, if i can get flash to work or tomorrow morning

**dynamo985** · 26-11-2004

ok its a "HH100 GbSat/STAB Motor" what way up shud this be?

**gameboy** · 26-11-2004

Looks like your motor is the correct way up...

**dynamo985** · 26-11-2004

not sure if its a relief or not, cos i still gotta get the arc, lol 3 months after i bought the bloody thing, actually make that 4 lol

Best t0 go back to basics - make sure the pole is perfectly (yes perfectly) vertical. Then the rest will fall into place.

Get the motor elevation set after checking your longitude and latitude.

Set it due South - tilt dish get best signal from Thor at 1 deg West and then pan E and W.

You probably know all this - for a more detailed run through do a search on setting up a motor.

Chances are the pole is not quite vertical - keep trying it's worth it!

***BGonaSTICK*** · 27-11-2004

@ RedDevil

If you could just check this out for me, I'd be very grateful.

Did you have to fit something similar to the curvy bit I pictured earlier inside the main bracket on the dish where I've marked no. 1?

Also, do you have anything like my box shaped bit inside the clamp, where I've marked no. 2?

Finally, do you have a nut and bolt passing through the whole bracket/LNB arm assembly at no. 3?

Thanks m8.

Also, I found this :-

which might indicate that these two parts are additional strengthening parts for high wind condidtions...???
