WARNING
•Avoid exposure of the interface to rain or humidity as it could cause sparks or electric shocks.
•Do not open the interface and do not touch any components with your hands, screwdrivers or any other
objects as it can cause damage and is extremely dangerous.
•Before operating the motor, make sure that the temperature of the interface is adjusted to that of the
surrounding environment (5°C ÷ 40°C).
•The interface is sensitive to magnetic fields. Therefore keep it away from motors, magnets, etc.
•Place the interface over a flat and stable surface and avoid heavy knocks.
•If the interface drops to the floor, disconnect it immediately from the mains. If after careful examination
there is no damage to the box, you can connect it again. Otherwise if there is evidence of damage, please
contact your local dealer.

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Rotor Sat HH100i-HH120i instructions manual – page 4
1. Where to install the sat dish
1.1 Choose a position from where the dish can see the SOUTH without any impediments or obstructions.
Buildings, trees, water-pipes etc. can block partially or completely the sat reception.
2. Rotor’s installation
2.1 Fix the supporting pole (ø 50 ÷ 83 mm diameter) in a perfectly
vertical position.
2.2 Use the provided support to fix the rotor to the pole (fig. 1).
It is strictly forbidden to install the motor upside-down.
2.3 Point the rotor position to the south using a compass (fig. 2).
2.4 Assemble the dish according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
2.5 Fixthedishtotherotor’s antenna supportwiththeprovidedbrackets
(fig. 1).
2.6 Align the dish to rotor’s pole indicator (fig. 2 - 3).
2.7 On a coax cable approximately 1,5 m long, set up two F-connectors
(fig. 4) and connect the LNB to the rotor’s LNB plug (fig. 5 - cable 1).
2.8 Fit an F-connector on each end of the cable going to the interface
(fig. 4) and connect the rotor’s REC plug to the MOTOR plug of
the interface (fig. 5 - cable2).

4.1 Find out your own geographical position on the map on page 6, 6a, 6b, 6c, note the latitude value
and set the rotor angle to this value (fig. 6).

6.3 With the interface’s remote control (see paragraph 7: USE OF
THE REMOTE CONTROL), move the rotor by short impulses
Eastwards or Westwards to reach the calculated value.
To coordinate this operation it is necessary that the interface is
near the dish or that somebody can assist you: while the first
one uses the remote control near the interface, the other one
will inform when the dish has reached the correct position on
the graduated scale of the rotor.
Example: VENICE - around 6,9° EAST - (fig. 8)
FIG. 8
ex. VENICE 6,9°
5.1 With the same latitude value, calculate the elevation of the dish (fig. 7) according to the following
formula: Degrees of dish elevation = P – (60 – latitude)
P = degrees of dish elevation for fixed mount given by the manufacturer.
Example: - Latitude Venice = 45,5°
P (dish elevation given by the manufacturer) = 37°
Degrees of dish elevation = 37 – (60 – 45,5) = 22,5° (fig. 7)
6.1 To point your dish easily, refer to the satellite the nearest to your longitude (see map on page 6).
6.2 Calculate the difference between the reference satellite and your position considering that:
positive values = Eastwards moving
negative values = Westwards moving
Example 1: Installation VENICE Longitude 12,3° EAST
Reference satellite ASTRA Longitude 19,2° EAST
19,2 – 12,3 = +6,9 The position of ASTRA at your location is 6,9° EAST (see fig. 8)
Example 2: Installation VENICE Longitude 12,3° EAST
Reference satellite EUTELSAT F2 Longitude 10°EAST
10 – 12,3 = –2,3 The position of EUTELSAT at your location is 2,3° WEST

BOLT A
6.5 Store the sat position and give it the corresponding number of the sat table (page 11); then operate a
recalculation (see paragraph 11.2). If the previous steps have been correctly carried out, you should
now be able to see all satellites including the lower East and West orbital ones.
If the dish pointing was not carried out properly, you might experience imperfect reception of the
satellites in the 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:
Case n. 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 (fig. 11). Tighten the screws of the supporting
bracket, then correct the dish orientation and go to the reference satellite by using the interface’s
remote control (see paragraph 7: USE OF THE REMOTE CONTROL). Find the best picture
and store the new position. Now you can operate the recalculation or you have to find each
position, check the best picture and store all positions one by one.
Case n. 2 If there is a picture quality improvement while bending up the dish on the Westward sat position
and bending down on the Eastward sat position unscrew slightly the bracket and rotate eastwards
(anticlockwise) the rotor and the dish locked together (fig. 12). 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 paragraph 7: USE OF THE REMOTE CONTROL). Find the best picture
and store the new position. Now you can operate the recalculation or find each position, check
the best picture and store all positions one by one.
Case n. 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 (fig. 13). Find the best picture and store the
new position. Now you can operate the recalculation or find each position, check the best picture
and store all positions one by one.
Case n. 4 If the picture quality improves while bending the dish downwards/both eastwards and westwards,
you should loosen the rotor’s fixing screws and increase slightly elevation on the bracket (fig. 14).
Find the best picture and store the new position. Now you can operate the recalculation or find
each position, check the best picture and store all positions one by one.
6.4 Disconnect the cable going to the interface from the rotor and
connect the field-strength meter. Unscrew the bolts that hold
the rotor to the main pole and then rotate EASTWARDS or
WESTWARDS both the rotor and the dish locked together
(fig. 9 - Bolt A) until you obtain the best reception quality;
tighten then again the bolts. If you cannot use a field-strength
meter, you need anyway to place a TV near the dish to check
the image definition. Connect the rotor again.

Rotor Sat HH100i-HH120i instructions manual – page 11
10. Setting and storing EAST - WEST limits
10.1 The rotor is designed to rotate from 62° EAST to 62° WEST.
10.2 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° ÷ 62° EAST and
5° ÷ 62° WEST; over these ranges the motor does not accept any memorization.
10.3 Setting the limits might become necessary if the rotor cannot perform the full rotation because of an
obstacle.
10.4 Rotate the dish by pressing the “EAST” or “WEST” buttons until it reaches the position of the new
desired EAST or WEST limit.
10.5 Press sequentially “FUNC”, “LIMIT” and “EAST” to set the EAST limit.
10.6 Press sequentially “FUNC”, “LIMIT” and “WEST” to set the WEST limit.
10.7 If the letter “L” followed by “0” or “00” will briefly appear on the display, the limit memorization has
been carried out correctly.
10.8 If not really necessary, please maintain the limits in the pre-programmed positions at ± 50°.

11.1 The rotor includes 49 satellites positions: 26 positions are pre-set, as shown on the table below, and
23 still available.

Rotor Sat HH100i-HH120i instructions manual – page 12
12.1 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
reference stored positions (bad picture or lost positions).
12.2 Press the remote control buttons “FUNC+RESET”.
12.3 When “0” or “00” flashes on the display then the rotor is at the 0° position.
12. Return to the 0° position of the rotor
11.2 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 one
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.
11.3 To operate the recalculation function you must follow the steps below.
1. Select the wanted satellite by pressing the 1 ÷ 9 or the “▲▲
▲▲
▲”, “▼▼
▼▼
▼” buttons.
2. Wait until the motor stops.
2. Find the required satellite by pressing the buttons “EAST” or “WEST”.
3. Press in sequence the buttons “FUNC” and then “CALC”.
5. If the letter “U” flashes on the display, the recalculation has been carried out correctly.
13.1. To restore the initial satellites positions you have to send the rotor to the 0° position (par. 12) and
operate the recalculation function (par. 11).
