Setting up a DiSEqC 1.2 Motorized H-H Motor can look complicated at first, but I’ll guide you step-by-step. This applies to most motor brands like Moteck, STAB, SuperJack, etc.
---
What You Need
✔ Satellite dish (60cm–120cm recommended depending on region)
✔ DiSEqC 1.2/USALS H-H motor
✔ Satellite receiver (supports DiSEqC 1.2)
✔ Coaxial cable
✔ Compass + Inclinometer (optional)
✔ Known satellite coordinates for your location

Step-by-Step Installation
Find Your True South Satellite
To align the motor correctly, you must know your:
Latitude & Longitude
The satellite closest to your true south (e.g., Pakistan → around 38E, 42E depending on location)
You can get exact coordinates using any satellite app (SatFinder, DishPointer etc.)
---
Mount the Motor Correctly
The motor must be mounted vertically (use a level!)
Set the motor latitude scale to match your actual latitude
Example: If you live at 32° latitude → set motor to 32°
---
Attach the Dish to the Motor
Keep the dish bolts slightly loose to adjust later
Set the dish elevation according to motor manual (depends on your latitude)
---
Point Motor to True South
Use a compass to point motor 0° – True South direction
Tighten the motor mounting bolts
---
Connect Cable & Enter Receiver Menu
Motor → Receiver: Connect coax cable to Motor IN → Receiver LNB IN
Set LNB Type correctly (usually Universal 9750/10600)
Select DiSEqC 1.2 in motor control settings
---
Receiver Motor Settings Notes
You will now:
1. Choose your reference (South) satellite
2. Move motor using East/West options until there is maximum signal
3. Store the position:
Menu → Motor Setup → Store Position
---
Scan Other Satellites
Select next satellite to the East
Move motor until you lock signal → Store Position
Repeat same procedure for West satellites

Tips for Best Motor Performance
TipWhy
Perfect vertical pole mountVery important for whole arc tracking
Use quality RG6 cableMotor needs power
Weatherproof connectionsAvoid signal loss
Start with your nearest South satelliteEasy alignment
---
Common Mistakes
Pole not vertical → motor won’t track arc correctly
Wrong latitude setting → signal only on one side of arc
Dish not tightened properly → signal changes later
---
Optional: USALS Setup
If your receiver supports USALS:
Just enter your Latitude & Longitude
Receiver automatically calculates satellite positions (Easier than manually storing each satellite)
