7.1.2 DiSEqC 1.2
DiSEqC 1.2 is a protocol for motor-driven dishes, the dish/motor-combination
itself needs to be aligned due South (North for Southern hemisphere) at its
reference position at 0°. It requires to manually search and store every
satellite individually.
Refer to the manual of your motor-drive for more detailed information. Modern
motor drives have usually also the capability of the enhanced DiSEqC 1.3
protocol, which would be preferred, since it can find satellite positions
automatically, relative to a geographical location.
Move the motor to the right position for locking the signal like explained
below.
Satellite Selected the Satellite you want to search for.
Transponder Select a known transponder on the satellite to help you find
it.
Also use the signal intensity and signal quality bars to find the satellite.

Select and press OK to see a list with already stored satellites.
Select a number from the list and press OK to move the dish to that position.
Save Select Save and press continuously either t or u, to move the dish to the
position where you suspect the Satellite is. When found (for example,
confirmed by a Signal on the bars), let go of the t or u button. With short
presses on the t or u buttons, you can peak the dish. Then Press OK (while
still on save). Confirm the position (already selected in Go to X to be
stored.
NOTE: The movement of the Dish can be stopped by pressing OK or on the
RCU.
NOTE : The dish might get misaligned over time. Move the dish to its
reference point at 0 degrees and select Recalculation. Confirm the pop-up to
recalculate positions.
Limit Setup
To setup the limits the dish should not exceed when moving, in case of
physical obstructions. Default is disable limit (not active). If needed, the
motor can physically be brought to its 0° reference position, to align the
dish south when in the northern hemisphere (or north for southern hemisphere)
first.
To set the West Limit, use to select West Limit, then press shortly to move
the dish West. Press again or OK when the limit is reached.
Press OK again. A pop-up message will confirm: West Limit is set.

GotoX
(also known as DiSEqC 1.3 or USALS)
GotoX is an automated system for finding satellites with a motor driven dish.
It is an enhancement of the DiSEqC 1.2 protocol, where it was still needed to
manually search and store every satellite individually. With DiSEqC 1.3 every
satellite position is automatically calculated for a defined geographical
location on earth. Only this location is needed to be entered and stored in to
the box, in conjunction with a GotoX capable motor drive, all (pre-installed)
satellites can easily be found. The dish/motor-combination itself needs to be
aligned due South (North for Southern hemisphere) at its reference position at
0°. Refer to the manual of your motordrive for more detailed information.
LNB Frequency | Select the correct LNB which is placed in your Satellite Dish. |
---|---|
Motor Type | Select GotoX with the buttons. |
Local Longitude | Find out the coordinates of the location where the dish is |
installed. Consisting of degrees on northern or southern hemisphere and
eastern or western hemisphere.
When you first enter, choose E or W with the buttons.
Then use the 0 ~ 9 buttons to enter the coordinate.
Local Latitude| When you first enter, choose N or S with the buttons.
Then use the 0 ~ 9 buttons to enter the coordinate.
NOTE: The location setting only needs to be entered once and is valid for all satellites.
Delete All | Turns the entered Longitude and Latitude to 0.00 |
---|---|
Motor Setting | To make a test with the moving dish if the selected satellites |
in the satellite list indeed can be found.
Limit Setup| To setup the limits the dish should not exceed when moving, in
case of physical obstructions. Default is disable limit (not active). If
needed, the motor can physically be brought to its 0° reference position, to
align the dish South when in the northern hemisphere (or north for southern
hemisphere) first.
To set the West Limit, use to select West Limit, then press shortly to move
the dish West. Press again or OK when the limit is reached.
Press OK again. A pop-up message will confirm: West limit is set.
