New Lnb changer

[Archive-8]

As my Laminas is now up, I am ready for the LNB changer

That's good news :-) what sat did you use as you zenith? Please.

 

[Captain Jack]

I used 1W but I should have really used either 3W (is there anything on there?) or 4W as I am closer to those. Force of habit...

3°W would be the closest to your longitude. Similar to me.

But 3°W is so hard to find a working feed, when I am able to tweek the dish.

Sounds like you have had some good results :-)

A feed is active if this can help you
11562 V 9875 3/4 3D feed

Maybe surgery

 

[Captain Jack]

@Trust1, do you need any more measurements?

38, 28, 30 all in inches?

New codes Milander ??
@Captain Jack , its still not sure to me where to find the G spot or better for me to reproduce , the spot on the frontline bar .

 

[Captain Jack]

@Trust1 - free-ish morning, so tried to take measurements. Here are mine.





Closer to Milamber's measurements. I assume the attachments will have a little room for adjustments?

I´ll be re checking mine with a new piece of 40 x 40 box, hopefully tomorrow. Have started on the other thread

Advice Needed - Before I make a complete ass of myself again!

Will advise when done.

 

[Trust]

Thanks Guys , I hold my horses untill tomorrow .

OK, have just finished re check of measurements. I removed the lnb holder bolts and got some longer ones and bolted from top down to ensure the laser was resting flat in the lnb holder. Also turned laser level upside down thus making emitted beam dead centre of holder ( +/- 1 mm )

Can't really get more accurate than that....

I certainly can´t!
I did, just for good measure, put my rotary bubble level on the dish to try and work out the angle of the face. Bearing in mind it is designed to measure from the horizontal, you have to back calculate from 90 degree.
As the dish is facing Astra 28.2, elevation 36.5 from here according to dishpointer, minus the stated 21.6 should be 14.9 degrees.
Not 100% reliable, but

as I am soon to be lucky owner of a "Wim special", it begs a question.
I will have 4 lnb, have seen on this thread a small coax from each lnb to what i presume is diseq switch(no exp) with then one coax out to stb. how does the stb know which lnb to use?

 

[Captain Jack]

You can program the motor with positions that relate to the satellite they are on. I will personally be (probably) doing it independently from the receiver.

 

[WHATAGOAL1]

going to as you say for moving the lnb into position.
is that it then?, nothing else to do? the stb will know which lnb to use?

 

[Archive4]

Never noticed where the cables were going!

Appears Wim´s has several cables and not a switch in sight! ( Could be hidden though )

 

[Captain Jack]

Yes, you'll need to use a switch - it will all be automatic once set up.

 

[scopus]

Yes, a Diseqc 1.0 4 way switch and. Stab mini controller gives me full automation, all from one receiver.

Nice work , A pitty you did not put that rotary bubble lever on top of the laser level with the dish in that position, I like to know that angle to .
Have go outdoor , come on back later .
