SG2100 EASY INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTION
For South Hemishpere, please change South to North and exchange East
and West in the following instruction.

STEP 1.
Make sure the pole/stand is exactly vertical to ground. Use a plumb and a level to do the vertical and
level correction. Good pole/stand alignment is the first and the most essential step for the installation.

STEP 2.
Mount the motor onto the pole/stand. Align the centre of the motor, bracket and the pole/stand to the
True South. To get the True South, use a compass to determine the Magnetic South and deduct the
Magnetic Declination.

STEP 3.
Mount the dish onto the motor's tube and wire it up; then set the elevation on motor's bracket as well as
the declination on dish's bracket according to your latitude.
See the Elevation and Declination Elevation setting
angels table in the SG2100 Manual.

STEP 4.
Drive the motor via motor's manual button or the receiver to aim a satellite with stronger single, which is
better not far from the True South.
GotoX function can help calculate the degree the motor should rotate to.
STEP 5.
In the angle mentioned above, there should be signal, and fine-tune the elevation / declination / azimuth
angle / True South (Rotate the whole motor+dish) to get the best reception signal.
Then, scan the satellite and store the channels.
STEP 6.
Repeat step 4 & 5 for other satellites.
STEP 7.
After completing the installation, mark the current position just in case.

After fine tune, there is still weak signal 1.Make sure the coaxial cable is well connected.

receiver's setting (LNB, Frequency, Symbol rate....) is correct.
3.Make sure the pole/stand is straight and vertical to the ground.
Only one or two satellites' signal are It might be the reception arc does not correspond to the satellites arc. Make sure
receivable. the pole/stand is straight and vertical to the ground, and fine-turn the elevation /
declination / azimuth angle patiently.
What is GotoX function? It is a standard DiSEqC 1.2 command that drives motor to needed angle. Some
receivers support this function and even can calculate the right angle to the
aimed satellite according to your longitude and latitude.
