STAB HH motor dish elevation angle calculation

This calculator is for motorized dishes using STAB motors only.  If you are using a Satcontrol HH motor, or need more information

on how to setup your motorized dish, go the HH mount installation page.

Note: For any motor model, motor elevation is always equal to your latitude value.

° LNBF polarization tilt (skew = 0)

LNBF skew should be ZERO for motorized dishes

 

Just Ignore this selection!

The Azimuth angle does not include the magnetic deviation. Depending on your location, you may have to subtract or add to the value above to obtain the "True South" magnetic heading for your compass reading. See chart below.

FAQ:

 

Do I need a separate power line to connect to the HH Motor?

No.  The motor gets its power from the receiver using the same coaxial cable running from the receiver to the LNBF on the dish.  You simply disconnect the cable from the LNBF.  Connect it to the HH Motor.  Then run a short coaxial cable between the motor and the LNBF.  You are set.

 

How do I control the motor to move it East / West?

The motor is controlled by the receiver's remote control.  All receivers compliant with the DiSEqC 1.2, 1.3, or USALS protocol have the capability to run an HH motor.  Once you initially setup the motor on the satellite arc and store the locations of the satellites, you will be able to move between satellites by simply changing the channel.

 

Does the motor also adjust for variation in elevation on the dish for each satellite?

Yes it does.

 

Do I need to skew the LNBF on a motorized dish?

No you don't.  Just set the skew at 0 and the motor will tilt the whole dish when it moves.

 

What is the benefit from motorizing my dish?

Well, by adding a motor to your system you will be able to receive satellite channels from several satellites instead from one only.  That way you will gain many more channels economically without investing in many dishes and switches.

 

Where can I find out what channels are available free to air?

There are many free to air channels available in North America on satellites such as Galaxy 10R, AMC4, Telstar 5, AMC3, etc. There are channels from the USA and from around the world. See http://www.lyngsat.com/america.shtml for a complete listing of what is available. Anything with an
 F  designation is FREE TO AIR.
