Vu Ultimo tuner config advice please

Hi All, Just got vu ultimo [currently dvb-s2 x2]. I have hooked this up to one of my systems which runs off a motorised dish with quad lnb. 3 other receivers are already hooked up to this system - one running as a master and driving the dish with diseqc 1.2, the other 2 receivers are slaves. My question is - what do I need to put into 'tuner configuration' menu for tuner A on vu ultimo to make the vu a third slave. Hope someone can help. Thankyou.
 
Set tuner A as simple, positioner.

Set tuner B as 2nd cable of motorised lnb.

That should work.
 
Thankyou both for your replies - have configured tuner A as simple/Positioner, with tuner B as loopthrough to (A) . I just note that this configuration for tuner A also results in Longitude and Latitude parameters being displayed in the reception settings screen . My vu ultimo arrived with lon/lat set [to a point in ne Belgium]. Also on the BH Choose Tuner screen it shows Positioner:USALS.
I dont think [?] this will affect me using the ultimo as third slave receiver on my set up [where master controls dish via diseqc] but is there any way to remove these usal references without a factory reset. Someone obviously started the box up before it was delivered to me as on first power up no installation wizard and it was running bh 1.7.7 build sep 7 2012-vuplus_experimental.
Thanks again

It won't matter, as the reciever is not connected to the motor feed.
