ADJUSTING HARDWARE LIMITS & INSTALLING POST

 

The factory preset hardware limits are from 70°East to 70°West of True South.  If smaller azimuth 
range is required, adjust the hardware limits before assembling the motor. 
1.  Always drive the motor to 0 position before 

adjusting the hardware limits. 

2.  Disassemble the Post from the Motor.  
3.  Lift the azimuth scale to reveal the Limit Sliders.
     Loosen the screw on the Limit Slider. Do not

loosen the screw thoroughly; otherwise, 
the Slider will drop into the motor. 

4.  Adjust the Limit Slider to the desired angle 

( 20~70° East or West ) . 

5.  Tighten the screws. 
6.   Reassemble the Motor Tube onto the Motor.

    7.  Drive the motor East and West via the Manual 
         Button or the receiver to make sure the 
    hardware limits are correctly set. 

 

 

 

ASSEMBLE THE MOTOR 

 

1.  

Assemble the Elevation Bracket and U- Bolt Post Mount . 

2.  

Make sure the mounting  pole is perfectly plumb and level 
before installing the motor. This is critical for the dish to accurately  

      track multiple satellites.
3.   Attach the H-H Motor Mount onto the Mounting Pole. 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

INSTALLING THE MOTOR 

1.  

Aiming TRUE SOUTH 

Attach the Dish to the Motor Post. Align the dish with the 0 Position.  Many dishes have a 
through bolt on the Post Clamp that will align and secure the dish to the motor tube. 

 
2.   Rotate the Motor Mount on the Mounting Pole toward 

TRUE SOUTH

. True South can be  

       calculated by adding or subtracting the installation location's magnetic deviation to the compass
       reading. Magnetic deviation charts are available at: http://www.geosatpro.com   or 
       http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/seg/WMM/
