Foreword
This user manual will explain to you how to install a motorised installation with a motor ref:
450908. If you have another motor, please see in its user manual. The motor user manual con-
tains as well an installation procedure for your (Re)playBOX receiver. We advise you to follow this
one, which have been updated more recently. In any case you will have to do all these operations:
0 - Switch on the receiver
Connect the receiver to the power supply, a point appears, press on the ( ) remote control key.
The point disappears, then «ON»appears, and then, after a few seconds, the number of the last
channel watches appears (0001 from output of factory). On the television, the screen indicates
«no signal».
1 - Put the receiver on the reference satellite channel
Check into the table 1 page 5 what is the reference satellite channel. Tape the 4 numbers of its
figure on the remote control. For ex: 0072 for Hotbird.
2 - Go into the DiSEqC 1.2 menu
• Press on Menu, go down onto motor adjustment and then validate by OK.
• If the menu is not accessible (in grey), it means that the DiSEqC version (in the menu system)
is on 1.0 instead of 1.2.
3 - Reset the motor
In the menu motor adjustment
• Select place the limit and validate by OK
• Go down on the reference position row and tape OK. The motor is going to its reference
position (mechanical stop East on the Metronic motor, ref: 450908).
4 - Continuing rotation
In the menu motor adjustment, go onto the row movement E/O. A press on the 4 key
spin the motor towards the west. A second press stop the motor. Use the same way the
3
key to spin towards the East.
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. When the level is going up a bit, stop the spinning to check if the
quality level has increased.
5 - Step by step rotation
In the menu motor adjustment, go onto the row adjust E/O. A press on the 4 key make
the motor spin a step towards the west. A press on the
3 key make the motor spin a step
towards the East.
6 - Give a number to a satellite
In the menu motor adjustment, go onto the row satellite number. With the key 34choose the
number you want. Press on OK and then confirm by pressing again on OK. Wait that the motor
stops.
7 - Memorise a satellite position
In the menu motor adjustment, go onto the menu Movement E/O, press on OK. The key
OK switches off briefly on the screen.
8 - Display the signal indicator
Press on the INFO (i) key. The indicator appears as 2 lines. For the alignment, you need to maxi-
mise the level (bottom line) then, when it is going up, optimise the quality (top line). If the level
is too high, but the quality is not going up, that means you are on another satellite, you need to
carry on sweeping.
