Help with 36" w/HH90 & Invacom Quad Polar LNB

[jchoueiri]

Hi
I found your forum very helpful but still did not get all my answers.
I would like to include all my info so you can tell me if anything is off.
I just bought 36" with HH90 Motor & Invacom Quad Polar LNB CLCL.
I have SV 4000 (with USALS).
my location: Milton Ontario
Latitude: 43.5167°
Longitude: -79.8279°
Based on http://www.sadoun.com/Sat/Installation/Satellite-Heading-Calculator.htm
Satellite Data: Stab HH90
The dish setup data:
Motor Latitude: 43.5°
Declination Angle: 6.7°
Dish Elevation: 38°
Elevation: 39.8°
Azimuth (true): 180.0°
Azimuth (mag.): 190.2° using compass
So having said that, assuming my pole is 100% solid and plum,
Do I setup my motor to 43.5°??? of course with it being at 0.
My Dish should be at 38.3? which is 45 motor shaft angle - 6.7??? or 38.3 - 6.7????
Now, to find my true south, my Longitude: -79.8279° what is my Magnetic deviation so I can calculate against the 180 compass???
Once I get all of that, I will be pointing close to 79.0 w, can I assume that I will get S&Q on AMC 5?

I really appreciate your help, pls let me know if my questions above are ok or if I need to make some adjustment.

Thanks

No not yet...I have not had the time to focus on it...but I need to make it work, I even called couple of installers, they dont know how to install it...so if you ever find out pls let me know and I would do the same or we can maybe work together on it. let me know

Ok I'll let you know.As for some of your questions i know this much. Set the motor latitude at 43.5 your elevation on your dish is supposed to be 30-declination but I've locked on to 82w with a higher setting than supposed to and just finished talking to guy locally who said try 38 on the dish for 79w. I'll try that the next few days and get back to you. Get youself a compass you'll be surprised were true south is in our area.

Oh and 10 degrees to the right of magnetic south if my memory serves me right.

I have compass and Sat finder too, Yes elevation is 38, I was able to get 61.5 and 110 but nothing in between..I am need to spend more time....and focus on it. anyway...any help I would really appreciate it and of course If I was able to get anything I will let you know.

OK big guy. I did it. Use 29-32 for you dish elevation and motor elevation is your Latitude.

Good for you man, I still have not had the chance to spend the time, I tried couple time last week but no luck, so tell me something how did you reset you motor to zero? so I can start from the begining. was it hard to find your true south? did you use a sat finder or a receiver with a small tv?

So what sat did you get?

Press the go to reference and that will send it to zero. Point it to 190 degrees with your latitude settings on the motor and dish elevation. Then go in your USALS and put in your milton longitude and latitude, sat 79W and press go.The motor will move just a little about one degree. Then move the hole thing left and right until you get a hit. Adjust elevation to peak. Once you hit 79W use Usals to go to other Sats and watch the strength on the signal. If its weak go back to 79W adjust and repeat until you get signals on the outer sats. Good luck!!
