hi have got a technomate motorized system but can,t get setup right i can get astra ok but other sats can not get quality am a bit mixed up with the settings i have got my latitude & longitude but don,t no if the angle from motor is right to dish it say,s to be 30 degrees but don,t know how to work out have been up the ladder loads of times gettin pi--ed off now:mad: bracket is level have set elevation on motor to what itsays in book plz help me

cheers

There is a whole long post on this, but, if the support is true, the angle for the motor & dish are right, then find Intelsat at 1degW first, Sirius @ 5degE & go fo it from there. Hotbird,Astra 19.2, Astra 2d & Hispasat 30DegW.
Get the 1st one as near to south as poss 1st by fixing the dish to the motor in the middle of the motors pole & move the whole thing. Good luck.

what type of motor hve you got

@pee856,

Have you looked in the "sticky threads" at the start of "Dish Setup etc,etc" as it shows you how to set up your motorised system.
Have a good read and then attempt to set your system up.

Picture below shows where you should be adjusting your dish elevation.

Weekend past i re aligned my motor/dish.. had enough of signals breaking up..

I set the motor to refrence with the manual and set the dish at a random angle.. plugged sat metre in and line up.. .

What motor do you own..

 

[pee856]

what type of motor hve you got

disq1.2 thats all i no dish up so can,t see

 

[Channel Hopper]

disq1.2 thats all i no dish up so can,t see

If you can't get to the dish, then that may be part of the problem.

the polar mount is set to 0 on the dial forget about the degrees of motor and polar mount get dish on totally parrell with mark on polar mount , and line both motor and polar arm and dish to thor 0.8 degrees westand peak using only eleavaton . , once found , move motor back a tiny bit 1 degreethen tigen motor . you then should be on the arc , scan with motor to 28 ,2 peak east then go 30 west hippasat peak try and find happy medium between west sats and east thats the i do it hope it helps

make sure pole is tollay square , and lattitude set properly this is very important

on the motor i have set 37 elevation got longitude latitude but it says -2.128 is that right gone off table that came with motor
will try what you said at weekend cheers for your help......

Sounds like the motor is a Moteck clone, in which case, if your latitude is 53 degrees, the angle on the dish should be set at 32.5 (that according to the moteck manual)

Then you need to get up the ladder and find 1W by moving the motor bracket on the pole and fine tuning the dish elevation. You should not be moving the motor with the receiver at this stage.

 

[llss]

o kay on the disec motor lattitide setting depends on what part of the country you live in , for instance i live in newcastle lattitude is 55 , you acn find this out just looking on google it will tell u your longitude and lattitude for where you live m8 its the lat you are after .

Thats manchester / Rochdale/oldham is it not:??

 

[pee856]

Thats manchester / Rochdale/oldham is it n ot:??

yes rochdale..

 

[Yeshi]

Yes you live round the corner from moi.. set you motor to 37degs.. and your dish at 7degs.. in usals put your details same as mine 53,3 < lat . 0.02 long..

Same settings as mine..

 

[pee856]

yes rochdale how do you find true south with compass

 

[Yeshi]

There is no need.

Attach all the system up turn on.. send the motor to 1w. then go back to the dish and line up on 1w..

This way when you send your dish to 0w. it will be on true south.

If you need help im off this week. just give us a shout. im bordoring with rochdale and Middleton
