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.
2. Go to the roof where you can apply a slight amount of force to move
the dish into an acceptable position for traveling.
3. Call Tech Support when you get to a location that you can perform
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 this
source.
1. ELEVATION - Orange and Red wires (reversing polarity will
change direction.)
2. AZIMUTH - Black and Brown (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
Dome or 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.
