Azimuth Angle value for Moteck SG2100

nupdyxa · #1 (**permalink**) 10-04-2003, 05:01 PM

I was just going through the items on E-BAY and noticed that there is a couple of SG2100 listed there. The specs for those call for 70 East ~ 70 West (140 Degrees) for Azimuth Angle. Yet, the Sadoun's site indicates 75 East ~ 75 West (150 Degrees). I am confused, 'cause they show different specs for the same Diseq Motor. I would defenetely appreciate extra 5 degrees east, 'cause that would allow me to sweep upto T12 (15W) but not sure if the motor really is capable of. Could any one who has been using SG2100 for a while provide the true specs for Azimuth Angle?
Thanks a lot,

The default rotation setting is 140, but you can manually extend it for 10 more degs.

My dish is on the roof. But if you really want the info, I can check it for you.
To me, the mount elevation is not really a big issue here. If you live in the US, your LAT is not as low as 20. Check our location LAT, if it is not as low as 25, then you can save me time to clim up to the roof check out the mount...:-)

I see know :wink: I thought the elevation 10~ 75 on the cart is the elevation required for the dish and not the motor. I asked the question because my Fortec dish dosen't allw less then 20 elevation. my latitude is 39 so I don't have to worry about anything :?
Thanks Michael for the fast response :P
