MAN V/S MACHINE (optional)
Ok, so the machine is automatic. Fancy you can do the alignment better than the
electronic brain? On the remote control for the MOTOSAT Control Unit press
FUNC and go down to “Manual Adjust” and press OK. In the screen that appears
you will see “Level” and “Quality” bars at the bottom. Using the
left/right/up/down arrows you can step the dish in various directions. The LNB
twist (Skew) is adjusted with the RED and GREEN buttons on the bottom of the
remote. Each skew number corresponds to approximately 4 degrees of twist.
Looking at the map below you will see the Skew angle for Optus C1/D3. For
Brisbane the “official” skew is +40. So the machine skew is +10 (40 divided by 4
=10). For Derby at the top of WA the “official” skew angle is -16 so the machine
skew is -4 (16 divided 4 = 4). Don’t worry if you mess things up, simply switch
the machine off and back on again and it will auto-align.
