[QUOTE="John, post: 1021130, member: 175005"] ... Talking about wires Chris, and by all means tell me to do one if you feel inclined, it's the telephone cable i see for motor + sensor duty. I'm a tad concerned about volt drop at the motor terminals especially when you move the dish from standstill or from an extreme end of the arc. Initial current drawn by the motor will be briefly higher at start-up but will have an impact on the volt drop and hence the final supplied voltage at the motor terminals .... which [U][I]might [/I][/U] give you a problem. Also because of the very small gauge on the sensor wires the pulses at the rig end [I][U]might[/U][/I] be affected a tad and give erratic pulse counting on the E-W controller. Not sure what your cable run length is also Chris, but long runs with that phone cable will make things worse. And finally --- don't like the knot in the cable lol. Crack on though, good to see you making progress with the install. ..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
