Installation Question

[Elite09]

Quick question. If my pole is not level but I am aligned and peaked to G10, will USALS still work if I have a motorized system?

If you are not level in all directions, then the arc that the motor creates/travels will be off. It may match up for certain sats, but you won't get the entire arc of satellites. USALS is just a way to easily position the motor at each point on the arc, so it will not work for all positions (neither will straight diseqc positioning, either since the physical position of the dish will be off regardless)

It is necessary on a motorized system to be PERFECTLY level, on the line won't cut it. It must be dead accurate. When installing the motor, leveling perfectly is so important that you should factor in the weight of the motor on the pole when adjusting it.
