Another unknown motor

[RimaNTSS]

Got this motor today. Somebody was using it for Fibo90. Personally think it is little bit too weak for 90 cm antenna. It has small control unit with remote control and changes elevation and azimuth. Needs external 24V DC power supply. It works very quiet. Control unit connects to motor via same coax cable which goes to LNB. Trust said it could be OK to use it for surveillance camera. I think, it is also possible to move terrestrial antenna with this unit.

Thanks, that is it. Only problem with this motor is that it changes elevation and azimuth, but does not changes skew, so antenna will perform good just in small part of the arc.

I used to own this one before the "Stab" back in 2003/4 - you're right about the skew, very annoying beyond a small area.

I had someone ask me to keep a look-out for these as he was using it on his sat-dish for non-sat reception purposes (weather/WiFi?), so they are quite rare.

That rotor needs its own remote control if I recall, there is no command instruction from receivers.

 

[RimaNTSS]

Yes, it only takes 13/18 volts from receiver and then is operated by independent remote control, also takes external 18-24 V DC power.

IRTE Omnisat, I had one of the first ones back in the old analogue days and could receive 42E to I think 45W with a generic 80cm mesh dish which was the maximum recommended size as I recall, I only replaced it 3 years ago when it became noisy and it's still in my garage waiting to see if I can lavish a little TLC on it and fix it. I definitely still have the sleeve that covered the box it came in and possibly the manual somewhere.
