Foreword
This user manual will explain to you how to install a motorised
installation with a motor ref: 450908.
Such installation needs some operations, on the motor, but also
on the satellite receiver you would like to use with it.
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 of them. These are
some small advices to help.

4 - Continuing rotation
Some receivers have 2 methods of rotation: a normal rotation to
make the motor spin, and a rotation step by step to sharply adjust the
position. If your receiver gives you only one method, consider that it is
the continuing rotation.
During the spin, a power and quality indicator indicates the reception
level.
Note: The size of the level indicator does not have a real importance
as such. What is important it is the variation when you move
the dish or the motor. When the level is going up a bit, stop the
spinning to check if the quality level has increased.
5 - Step by step rotation
If your receiver has the step-by-step rotation, you will be able to adjust
precisely the motor position. If it is not the case, try to reach as precise-
ly as possible the desired angle with a continuing rotation. It is useful to
keep the degree order precision.
1 - Put the receiver on the reference satellite channel
If the receiver is pre programmed, put it on the satellite channel you
want. Choose preferably a channel with a high debit (SR), which means
greater or equal to 22 000.
2 - Go into the DiSEqC 1.2 menu
This menu allows you to make the motor spin. Sometimes, to access it,
it will be necessary to activate the DiSEqC 1.2 function.
3 - Reset the motor
It is the reboot of the motor. Sometimes, this function is called
Reference position or Zero position.

6 - Give a number to a satellite
Check in your receiver user manual how to associate a number to each
satellite. If it is not possible, leave the existing number system.
7 - Memorise a satellite position
This function is generally called memorised, store, saved…
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.

Prepare the motor (see diagram 2)
Assembling
• Make sure the fixing (tube or stand off arm) is stabilised
and strictly vertical. A gap of more than 1 degree (2 cm,
0,78” per meter) from the vertical will prevent the motor
to work correctly. In case, add some block between the
wall and the fixing. Check the verticality with a spirit
level or a plumb line.
Warning: When you will screw the screw 2C (which
must not be blocked), a too important tightening might
break one of the support clamps.
When the motor is assemble, do not fix it straight away
on the mast or the stand off arm, some operations needs
to be done near the receiver.
• Screw on all the screw without blocking it. The screw 2b
must be tighten at the maximum and the cover 2a must
be leave up to allow you to read the motor angle in rela-
tion to south.
WARNING: the screw 2b must get in by the small hole
in the bend mast and the nut must be tighten on the big
hole side, with the rounded nut moulded the curves of
the big hole.

Angle adjustment
Look at the European map (look opposite) and find your
angle in relation to the horizontal line. For example, about
31,5° for Glasgow, 38° for Bordeaux and 39,5° for Napoli.
Cut out at the last page of this user manual the angle
system that will allow you to read precisely the motor
angle. Cut the map with a cutter. He might be useful to
make a copy on a heavy duty paper. In case you damage
it, you could do it all over again after downloading the user
manual on the Metronic website, www.metronic.com.
Position the angle system on the west side of the motor like
on the picture C2, the angle is 31,5°.
Adjust the nut from the 2c screw to display the incline of
your location.
When the right angle as been adjusted, tighten the screw,
and the nut 2d as well.
OK
• Tighten the screw 2d with moderation to be able to adjust
the angle of the motor. Make sure you put the nut head
correctly so the upper side will be horizontal (see diagram
below).
