Thread: how to set the polarization on a bsc621-2d

Thanks for any help.

The bsc621-2d has no markings of any kind and no instructions
are sent with the box.
On my dish it needs to be set to right 0.87 degrees at the highest
point of the arc.
Is there something inside the feed horn to tell me how to orientate
the lnb or is it the label on the outside?

Just one reason I'm irritated with DMSI and their products.
Poor documentation.
I just looked at their main site for these pictures, and didn't find 'em... again! -

Luckily, we've got 'cha covered.

Thank you Anole for taking your time to respond.
I'll go out tomorrow when I can see and check the ends of the bsc621-2d.
I think the ex: you gave was another make. I really doubt there are any
markings on the bsc621-2d. Will report back after I look.
The pictures of the dmsi site on the one view gave a web error.
But in any event the dmsi site only shows a front view of the lnb.

I presume the settings you mention should be done from the vertical
position of the dish. It's so high that way that I can't reach the lnb.

When I answered the above question about the Ck-1, I wasn't sure if the person asking had it or the DMSI 621...
So, if you'll notice, I gave pictures of both.
That 621 picture came off the old DMSI site, back when they had a little more documentation.

But, you're right, the two are totally different animals, from different companies, so they do -not- have the same markings.

You can take a TV & stb out to the dish and skew it without the need of any markings

the bsc621-2d LNBF is the worst product I have ever bought when it comes to this FTA hobby, it's not even worth as a doorstop

you can follow my saga in these two threads:

Drive the Dish to it's highest point (South Sat), pop the Feed Cap off. From behind the Dish, look up into the Feed, you should see a 1/4" metal rod, that should be horizontal.

Thank you Anole and others for your help.
I attached a picture of the bsc621-2d and as you
can see there is no contrast and without knowing
exactly where the mark is guys like me would never see it.
I am very sorry I wasted my money with this company.
You can be assured it will NEVER happen again.

"Arrow" should be pointing to "12 o'clock" with Dish at South Sat.
