info correct installation and configuration of the motorized dish

hi I bought: Rotor motor for DIGIPOWER MOTECK SG-2100A DiSEqC 1.2 dish

Motore Rotore per parabola DIGIPOWER MOTECK SG-2100A DiSEqC 1.2

Il motore per parabole DIGIPOWER prodotto da MOTECK, modello SG-2100A è compatibile con ricevitori DiSEqC 1.2. o Usals Dispone di LED di indicazione "guasto" e…

I don't know whether to mount a 100cm or 80cm dish.

The 100 cm dish I have is as follows

ANTENNA PARABOLA SATELLITARE 100CM ACCIAIO BIANCO EMME ESSE MODELLO 80100A

ANTENNA PARABOLA SATELLITARE 100CM ACCIAIO BIANCO EMME ESSE MODELLO 80100A

should I install the 100cm or 80cm one?

assembly:

1) I connect the motor to the pole and then mount the dish to the motor.

2) I connect the motor to the dish and then I mount everything to the pole.

what do you recommend me to do?

Quote from jenseneverest

A bigger dish is always better, you will struggle with some feeds with only a 1m dish

Mount dish to motor, then mount both to pole.

Ok, thank you,

Is the dish I have good for that motor I bought?

Quote from jenseneverest

That motor is a good make and supports dishes up to 120cm

The satellite dish above i am not familiar with, but the manufacturer website looks very professional.

Feed hunters prefer fiberglass dishes, as they last many many years and never rust, also you can find cheap 2nd hand dishes for very little money.

I bought my 1.2m channel master for £35. Recently i saw 1.8m channel master sell for under £100. These dishes were 10 to 20 times that price new.

If you have the space for it buy the biggest dish you can find, but anything over 1.2m and you will need satellite actuators, and disquet controller, not usuals motors.

thank you very much, very kind as always,

p.s. the engine will arrive on March 17th

In the settings of the: GT MEIDA V8 Finder 2 Sat Finder. In Loop Search I can insert 4 frequencies which I insert to understand the quality of the overall signal, which one do you recommend? (primary satellite is 16E)

Can anyone please explain to me what this means?

why does it show type 1, type 2, type 3 ?

Hi, there are several standard proposals which are related to the size of the mast, it is marked, 42,50,57 mm.....if you are already having trouble understanding the principle from the start, I wish you good luck for the installation, knowing that the larger the dish, the more the opening towards the signal is restricted........

He didn't tell me why there's this difference in the manual

Quote from _Gigino_

Since you post images from am@zon.it, I assume you are Italian.

Having said that, in the meantime that the "material" arrives, read this guide which was very useful to me when I found myself in the same situation as you (A.D. 2012).

1) Guida montaggio e puntamento motori diseqc-USALS by KAKTUS.pdf

i already printed this guide, but in that guide it doesn't refer as in the manual " type 1, type 2, type 3 "

Quote from kashmir

Don't worry about it, especially think about the setting of the highest sat and then your east and west ends and a strictly straight mast on 2 planes..... anyway, we will always be here to help you within our capabilities....

Thank you

At what distance should the dish be fixed to the motor arm?

unfortunately today there is 33km/h wind, I will have to wait for Saturday to be able to assemble everything, I also took a signal meter to help me find the signal

once I have connected the motor to the pole and the satellite dish to the motor, with the motor off can I connect the detector and look for the signal with the motor off? (move entire block to capture the primary satellite "16e")

I attach image

Quote from jenseneverest

You could do.

But signal on 16e is strong so not much use for getting it accurate.

my reference satellite is 16E, so I will first have to hook up to 16E and then proceed with the engine and target the extreme satellites, but before using the engine I wanted to use the signal detector connected only to the lnb.
