Cool motor install

Here are some points to consider for your installation.
  1. The mast has to be 100% plumb and stable.
  2. Make sure you have no obstacles surrounding the antenna location such as tall trees or buildings, you need a clear view of your south.
  3. Install the motor parked at X or center and align to your true south in reference to your compass.
  4. Your LNB SKEW should be at 0° in reference to your antenna at center; this will help to have a good SKEW on all satellites.
  5. Setup coordinates in USALS and now move the antenna to the satellite close to your true south.
  6. Make sure you have the correct frequency per the LNB specifications.
  7. Always have a meter in line.
  8. Adjust your AZIMUTH, ELEVATION and DECLINATION to get the best possible signal quality on the satellite close to your true south.
  9. Once optimized you have to make the antenna travel from east to west to confirm you have a good curve. If you don't see the satellites on east and west ends you may have to readjust your declination.
  10. More information throughout the forum. Enjoy your TV.
