DEAR CUSTOMER,
Congratulations! You are now the owner of STAB ROTOR SAT.
Attention:
- To connect the motor without interface it is necessary that your receiver includes
USALS® or DiSEqC1.2® protocol.
- Please read carefully this instructions manual before installing and using the rotor.
- For more information regarding the commands, see the receiver’s instructions
manual.

ENGLISH
In 1998, thanks to EUTELSAT-STAB collaboration, the DiSEqC1.2® protocol was
developed, which can drive all sat motors directly from the receivers.
This system, recognized as a standard by all sat receivers' manufacturers, needs many
adjustments to obtain correct installation of the dish (correct pointing to the South, manual
research and memorisation of all satellites positions, setting of limits, etc). Since 1999, the
main aim of STAB research has been to solve all possible problems connected to
installation of the motor and to enable users to buy the STAB motor from their retailer and
to install it easily everywhere in the world. With the new USALS® program we can confirm
with certainty the achievement of this aim. But what is the USALS® system (Universal
Satellite Automatic Location System)? It is a calculation system processed by STAB, and
given free to all manufacturers of sat receivers or PC cards, which enables the receiver to
calculate the position of all satellites in orbit with a precision lower than 1 meter with
reference to the place of installation. All this in a completely automatic mode and with no
specific technical knowledge required, either during installation or use.

7. Dish pointing.
7.1 To point your dish easily, refer to the satellite the nearest to your longitude (see maps on page 71-88).
7.2 Calculate the difference between the reference satellite and your position considering that:
- positive values = Anticlockwise moving negative values = Clockwise moving.
Ex 1: - Installation VENICE (longitude 12,3° East) - Reference satellite ASTRA (longitude 19,2°East)
19,2 - 12,3 = +6,9 The position of ASTRA from Venice is: 6,9° Anticlockwise (see fig 3).
Ex 2: - Installation VENICE (longitude 12,3° East) - Reference satellite Eutelsat F2 (longitude 10°East)
10 - 12,3 = -2,3 The position of EUTELSAT from Venice is: 2,3° Clockwise.
WESTWARDS both the rotor and the dish locked together (fig. 4 -

again the bolts. If you cannot use a field-strength meter, you need

should now be able to see all satellites including the lower East

8 Fine tracking.
8.1 If this procedure was not carried out properly, you might experience imperfect reception of the satellites in the
ENGLISH
most eastwards and westwards positions. To correct this, you must proceed as follows: - select a non-crypted
channel on the most Eastward satellite, then bend slightly the dish upwards / downwards without loosening
any bolts and check if there is any picture improvement. Repeat the same procedure also with the most
Westward satellite. In these conditions four possible cases could occur:
8.2 Case nr 1 - If there is a picture quality improvement while bending up the dish on the Eastward sat position and bending
down on the Westward sat position unscrew slightly the bracket and rotate westwards (clockwise) the rotor
and the dish locked together. Tighten the screws of the supporting bracket, then correct the dish orientation
and go to the reference satellite by using the receiver's remote control (see receiver's instructions manual -
paragraph dedicated to the motor). Find the best picture and store the new position. Now you can operate
the recalculation (if your receiver gets the function). If not, you have to go back to each memorized position,
check the best picture and store all positions one by one.

8.4 Case nr 3 - If the picture quality improves while bending the dish Up/East on the Eastward sat position and Up/West on
the Westward sat position, you should unscrew the motor support from the pole and lower slightly the
elevation of the complete system. Find the best picture and store the new position. Now you can operate the
recalculation (if your receiver gets the function). If not, you have to go back to each memorized position,
check the best picture and store all positions one by one.

9. EAST - WEST limits (only for enabled receiver).
ENGLISH
9.1 The rotor is designed to rotate from 65° Anticlockwise to 65° Clockwise.
9.2 Two limits are set electronically at ± 65° and mechanically at ± 70° to protect the maximum rotation.
Within these limits you can though set two new electronic limits included between 5° ÷ 65° EAST and
5° ÷ 65° WEST; over these ranges the motor does not accept any memorization.
9.3 Setting the limits might become necessary if the rotor cannot perform the full rotation because of an
obstacle.
9.4 To remove, to set and to store the limits, see the receiver's instructions manual on the paragraph
dedicated to the limits.
9.5 If not really necessary, please maintain the limits in the pre-programmed positions at ± 65°.
10.2 The recalculation function automatically calculates and sets all pre-programmed satellites positions
with reference to the position of a single satellite. In other words after you have found and stored the
first satellite, the recalculation procedure enables the automatic re-positioning of the other satellites
inside the rotor's memory to a pre-defined distance, as shown on the above table. The re-calculation
procedure must be operate only on the first satellite stored (the others excluded).
11. Return to the 0 position of the rotor (only for enabled receivers).
11.1 This function enables the rotor to return to the 0° position and to reset the inside counter. It is very
important to re-align all satellite positions that can be slightly slided eastwards or westwards from the

11.4 If this function is not implemented in your receiver, you need to connect temporarily an interface and
press the remote control buttons "FUNC and RESET".
12.1 The rotor is provided with a special function called "autofocus": this procedure allows the rotor to
focus automatically the satellites before storing. Only some receivers are provided with this
command.
