FEATURES
The Nomad SD and SD2 Controller have many features that make finding satellites simple and fast. All of the satellite
pointing and identification is taken care of by the Nomad SD and SD2 Antenna and Controller. After your controller has been
installed and configured, push the “POWER” ON button followed by the “FIND” button (to put your antenna into “search” for
satellites mode) and your system will do all the work. To stow the system for travel, press the “STOW” button to bring your antenna
into the stowed (travel) position Your Nomad SD and SD2 Controller(s) have many features that will assist you in acquiring and
identifying satellites. Here are some of them:
• Fully configurable through the front panel or optional .dat file (see Programming Using the Front Panel in this
manual.)
• Software upgrades can be done using the SD Memory Card provided with your controller (see Programming Using
the SD Card in this manual.)
• Controller and Mount operate on 12 VDC with less than 3 amp draw during movement..
• Controller automatically shuts itself off when the antenna is stowed.
• New software is automatically detected and loaded into non volatile memory within 15 seconds after power ON
when an SD Memory Card (containing new upgrade file) is placed into the controller (see Firmware Upgrade for
instructions.)
• The Nomad SD/SD2 Controller may be configured to operate any open faced TV system MotoSAT manufactures.
• Controller may be configured to select satellites serving DirecTV, Dish Network, SHAW Direct and Bell TV.
• GPS option may be added to assist in satellite quicker acquisition.
The Nomad SD/SD2 contains Operational Features such as:
• Three (3) button operation, POWER, FIND and STOW.
• LED Display to indicate LNB power, FIND, STOW and POWER status.
• Error Coded displayed through blinking “FIND” LED.
• Automatic STOW feature on every system…… it is called “the first overpass”. Just checking to see if you are
reading the manual (smile.)
• Ability to take advantage of improvement software upgrades by going directly to
www.motosat.com and
downloading the latest firmware upgrade for use in your system.
• Return to Last Satellite. This feature eliminates the blind search that is required when you have moved to a new
location. Once the system has located the satellite(s), it will return to that location after you have stowed then re-
powered the system. This operation will reduces acquisition time.
• Your open faced MotoSAT antenna is highlighted (noticeable at night) with a soft glow from a blue LED on the
mount.
• No accidental deploying of the system. Power must be turned ON and then you must select either FIND or STOW.
The “FIND” button puts the antenna into satellite acquisition mode. The “STOW” button retracts the antenna for
traveling.
• The antenna stows to a height of 10 ½ inches (below your air conditioner height.)
• A mounting plate that attaches to your roof will disperse the wind loading created by the antenna during wind gusts.
• All of the electronics that control the antenna are located inside your RV.
• The Nomad Controller runs independent of the satellite receiver. In other words it does not rely upon interaction of
the satellite receiver to find satellites.
