With a motorized system the dish moves from east to west to track the satellites positioned along the Clarke belt.
FEATURE:
Require a receiver with built-in Positioner or you can use the DiSEqC positioner to control this motor.
Works with VBOX II & V3000 (GBOX) positioners.
Good for prime focus or offset dishes up to 6ft (180cm) in diameter but no more than 59 lbs (27KG) in weight (including LNBFs, cables, and wind factor).
Installation Guide for this Motor
If your dish accumulates snow, that will impact the weight factor against the motor and could result in breaking the motor due to excessive weight. Make sure you clean any snow off the dish and have the dish pointed in a way that will allow the snow to slide off.
The motor is NOT recommended if you have high wind that will cause extra pressure on the motor and will cause it to break. If you need a really heavy duty motor that will stand to gusty winds and heavy snow loads, then this motor is not for you. Those motors usually cost upward of $400 or more
How do I control the motor to move it East / West?
The motor is controlled by the receiver's remote control. All receivers compliant with the DiSEqC 1.2, 1.3, or USALS protocol have the capability to run an HH motor (above motor requires a V-BOX II to work with such receivers). Once you initially setup the motor on the satellite arc and store the locations of the satellites, you will be able to move between satellites by simply changing the channel.
Does the motor also adjust for variation in elevation on the dish for each satellite?
Yes it does.
Do I need to skew the LNBF on a motorized dish?
No you don't. Just set the skew at 0 and the motor will tilt the whole dish when it moves.
What is the benefit from motorizing my dish?
Well, by adding a motor to your system you will be able to receive satellite channels from several satellites instead from one only. That way you will gain many more channels economically without investing in many dishes and switches.
Where can I find out what channels are available free to air?
There are many free to air channels available in North America on satellites such as Galaxy 10R, AMC4, IA5, AMC3, etc. There are channels from the USA and from around the world. See http://www.lyngsat.com/america.shtml for a complete listing of what is available. Anything with an F designation is FREE TO AIR.
