INSTALLATION G IDE FOR THE MOTOR Motor Horizon Horizon ref 450907 LINE 0 208 994 1181 Motorised installation Foreword This user manual will explain to you how to install a motorised installation with a motor ref 450907 Such installation needs some operations on the motor but also on the satellite receiver you intend to use with As the motor can work with all types of receivers it is impossible to be precise on the kind of operations that you will have to do on your receiver We then advise you to read both user manual very carefully this one and the one from the receiver to identify what you will have to do on the remote control That will allow you to do the necessary operations for each unit These are some small advices to help Your motor is compliant with all satellite receivers labelled DiSEq 1 2 Furthermore it is also compliant with receivers featuring the Goto X option witch is also sometimes called USALS USALS is a trademark own by STAB 0 208 994 1181 LINE If the receiver is pre programmed put it on the satellite channel you want Choose preferably a channel with a high symbol rate SR which means greater or equal to 22 000 om 00 z 1054 27800 JH cm 483 SNAISAT 12606 27500 H rare soem se TH 1106 275 v 7 zl Astra 28 28 2 B0cm 363 BBC1 10773 22000 H 9 Hopet 1A U Pocm 613 IVGAICA 11811 Z72.

5. 8 Display the signal indicator Generally the signal indicator appears when pressing on the INFO key Sometimes you have to access the channel search menu The indicator is often showed as two bars For the alignment you need to maximise the signal then when it is going up optimise the quality If the level is high but the quality is not going up that means that you are on another satellite you must continue to scan The level is always measured on a give channel So we will define for each satellite a reference channel as the channel used to find this satellite The following table lists a set of reference channels With time it is possible that one or more of these channels is no longer broadcast or has its technical data change If so choose any other channel of the satellite as a reference channel provided that the Symbol Rate SR is bigger than 22000 0 208 994 1181 LINE NS Necessary elements Necessary tools 33 Note for the motor itself only a 13 mm spanner is neces sary Elements ID HT LINE 0 208 994 1181 Satellite dish Screw and fixing Offset arm Universal LNB Mast or stand off arm Recommended diameter minimum 40 mm 1 6 Satellite receiver TV set PAL for digital reception and PAL SECAM for analogue to be able to watch it in colour Scart lead male male 21 pin F plug Cable special for satellite
