39E hellas sat low intensity

GrayUK · 04-12-2008

Hi

I have successfully set up my Technomate 3200+d box with an 80cm motorised setup, i can receive

1W
5E
13E
19.2E
28.2E

The motor will not go to 39E when i use the "goto position" in the menu, so i when i manually try to turn the motor via the set-top box to 39E the light underneath the motor goes red "low intensity"

Is this a problem because its off the arc or there is an obstruction?. All all sats have a strength and signal at around 80%
28.8 has very good signal quality.

Thanks

Regardless of signal being received, the motor should still turn round to 60 degress from zero with USALS.

Try resetting the motor. Go to DiSEqC 1.2 mode > Under motor menu control > Reset system.

I am using the DiSEqC at the moment to drive the dish not USALS, will it reset the same?

I which case using DISEqC 1.2 you'll need to check Limits.

Reset is a reset.

Hi

I have checked the motor and there is noting stopping it on hardware limits but no where in the technomate menus can i find a rest motor option

I have tried deleting limts in the software but the strengh still stays at 73% and 5 quality. Could some please tell me where the menu is to rest the motor.

It is as SMM said.

Under Motorized Setting

Next to DiSEqC Motor select 1.2 intsead of USALS

Then go down to Motor Control, press OK and you will see the Reset system option.

If the motor was second hand the last owner may have taken the cylinder off and adjusted it so it goes no further than 28.2east but this means the motor should go to 91.8west, not that any sat will work that far west.

Reset motor on the receiver menu first. If still not working then:

> Hard reset on the motor it'self - (small reset hole on the motor body)

> Check physical limits by checking the sliders on the motor - (motor shaft will have to be taken off to see this). Should be preset to around 60 degs.

The motor was bought brand new from a shop. Thinking about contacting technomate for a replacement box as the channel numbers on the display on the box do not show up & the front of the reciever box should light up blue but doesn't.

I have checked the motor and the screws for limiting the motor is not an issue as they are at the end of the East & West Limits, starting to think its a dodgy box.

That is how they come as default out the box, yes.
Easiest way to check is to try another receiver on USALS.
