Special Notes
Stowing the dish when all else fails.
If you are able to go onto the roof -
1. Unplug the “Green” 9 pin connector from the back of the NOMAD 2. This will
release “dynamic braking” that holds the mount in position. The mount may now
be rotated manually.
2. Go to the roof where you can apply a slight amount of force to move the dish into
an acceptable position for traveling. . In Azimuth, rotate the mount in a counter
clock wise direction to move to the proper stowed position.
3. Plug the “Green” 9 pin connector back into the Nomad 2.
4. Call Tech Support when you can perform additional trouble shooting.
If you are unable to go onto the roof –
The dish can be manipulated by applying 12 volt DC power to specific wires in the
control cable located in the back of the NOMAD 2. The 12 Volts going to your NOMAD 2
controller (3 pin “green” connector) can be used as the 12 volt DC power source (see page 8.)
1. ELEVATION
- Orange and Red wires (reversing polarity will change direction.)
2. AZIMUTH
- Black and Brown (reversing polarity will change direction.)
3. SKEW
- Brown and Red wires (reversing polarity will change direction.)
If a chain or motor/gearbox assembly is broken, the dish will have to be stowed by hand.
Dish Network receivers
NON-SKEWABLE Open Faced mounts.
If your satellite receiver is a Dish 500 or Dish Pro and you remove it from your home
to your RV, you will need to perform a “Check Switch” while the non-skewable dish
is in the STOWED POSITION
. Your screen upon completion of the “Check Switch”
should have 8 X’s in the check boxes meaning that the “Check Switch” failed.
This
procedure must be accomplished before
you “FIND” satellite. Failure to do so
will result in improper operation of the receiver.
