A guide on how to manually setup the USALs dish system on the AzBox series of satellite receivers.
Setting up USALS on a AZBox.
I have found that every satellite position that the receiver wishes to visit, has to be entered individualy in the receivers Database.
The USALS Motor must be connected to your Receiver and setup to follow the Clarke Belt curve for your area.
From the Setup > TV Channel > DVB-S > Antennna > Positioner Seup menu, Scroll round to USALS and then Select.
In the “SAT Position Field”, enter the position where the Satellite Dish is active and resting, e.g. 1.0W.
In the “My Longitude field”, enter your location’s longitude e.g. 2.1W. – This can only have one decimal place and the EAST/WEST selection is done by the left or right Cursor buttons on the Remote Controller.
In the “My Latitude field”, enter your location’s Latitude e.g. 51.5N. – This can only have one decimal place and the NORTH/SOUTH selection is done by the left or right Cursor buttons on the Remote Controller.
In the “Command Mode” field, use the left or right Cursor buttons on the Remote Controller to select either “Go To Position” or “Go to 0″. – Pressing OK should then drive the motor the selection in the SAT Position field or to the Zero position of your Motor.
Exit that menu to the previous one, and in the “Satellite Name field”, using the left or right Cursor buttons on the Remote Controller, scroll to the next required Satellite.
If that satellite is not already in the Reciever’s Database, The entry “USALS” will been replaced to “OFF”.
This has to be changed back to USALS, by using the left or right Cursor buttons on the Remote Controller. – This will cause the motor to move to that satellite and a confirmation message will written on the screen.
Repeat the above for every satellite you require in the Receivers Database.
USALS should now be set up for your required Satelites.
