Technomate TM-2300 dish motor
The TM-2300 from Technomate makes it easy to convert the monofeed satellite system of a single user into a system that can receive all receivable satellites at a particular location.
Technomate’s antenna motor model that has proven itself for many years has been reintroduced to us with improved precision; something that we have to look into in much greater detail.
An antenna motor is the perfect solution to receive the ever-increasing number of satellites in the sky. Technomate’s TM-2300 operates like all other H-H motors on a polar mount in which the motor’s turning axis is aligned with the North Star and thus parallel to the Earth’s axis.
In this way switching from one satellite to another no longer involves an azimuth and elevation adjustment; a simple motor turn is all that’s needed. But even this one-dimensional adjustment takes place automatically with the TM-2300.
systemsToday’s modern receivers with integrated DiSEqC 1.2 make it all happen. Control signals are carried to the motor via the same coax cable that is used to connect to the LNB. DiSEqC 1.2 can also transmit satellite position data. Receivers that carry the DiSEqC 1.3 or USALS logo also come with a mathematical routine that takes the receivers location (longitude and latitude) and the geo-central satellite position and calculates the necessary motor angle needed for a particular satellite. With an antenna motor such as the TM-2300 that can understand the complete DiSEqC protocol, you can have a com-pletely automatic system that can drive your antenna to any desired satellite.
Its Simple Operation Tells It All
With the TM-2300 from Technomate and a DiSEqC 1.3 receiver, the conversion of a monofeed system to a multifeed system is made very easy. The job can be completed in less than an hour and all existing components can still be used. It might not be a bad idea to get a larger dish so that weaker satellites or transponders can also be received. Also check to make sure that the mast to be used is perfectly vertical. Only then can the motor move the dish perfectly from one horizon to the other.We put together a step-by-step outline to help simplify the conversion. A nearly identical previous model has been in operation here with us for the past ten years and has been running perfectly since its installation.
