The installation and configuration of a rotor, Stab diseqc 1.2



You need:
- a pre-programmed FTA channel of the Sirius satellite, you can use a rotating satellitelist for that from our download section together with HappyLLama's DreamboxEditor.
- a compas and a satbeeper, otherwise it's very hard!
- A4-page.
- little rope with some weight.
- on thist A4-page you draw a triangle with the elevation angle on it, For The Netherland this is 38 degrees.
- draw it a big as possible, for 38 degrees this is 21x26cm.



1)
* The installation point has to be on spirit level.
* Install the rotor to the post.
* Now you hold the A4-page with a little rope with the short side on the downside of the rotor as shown on the picture.
* The rope must be spirit with the long side of the triangle.
* Thighten the rotor, now the have the correct elevationangle.
* Place the dish on the rotor (on the stripe!).
* The declinationangle must be set on 33 degrees for The Netherlands. (see the manual for your angle)
* Be sure that the rotor is at 0 degrees.
* Reset the rotor, how to do this is at your manual (wrong settings will be deleted)
* Choose the preprogrammed Siruis FTA Channel.
* Go to the Signal Detection in the menu.
* Aim your dish and rotor at the Sirius satellite, this is at 5 degrees east but the magnetic south so easy to find!
* When you use the satbeeper DO NOT place the rotor inbetween, this can diturb the USALS of the rotor!
* Turn the dish horizontal and vertical in little steps untill the satbeeper shows you the strongest signal, you can check it in the menu.
* You can even zap between the two FTA channels on the Sirius: Sirius and DTS Channel.
* When you recieve the maximum signal you tighten the dish.
* Shut the Dreambox down and change the satbeeper for the rotor.




2)
* Restart the Dreambox.
* Goto the Settingsmenu of the Dreambox.
* Choose "Complex" at Satellite Congiguration voor "Complex".
* Choose Rotorsettings.
* Click at "use rotor input power" and fill in the number 70 instead of 40 now
* Click at "use gotoXX function".
* Fill in your longitude and latitude you can find the at here and press the green button.
* Reboot the Dreambox and start scanning your satellites or use a settingslist.
