Urgent: Motor moving the wrong direction

PJ02

Setting a dish up for a friend, when i move the dish east the motor moves west.

Technomate TM-1600 and a technomate tm-2100A (motek clone)

Anyone any ideas?

Thanks

Rob

Are the two cables connected to the motor the right way round.
i.e. LNB cable to LNB connection, and receiver cable to receiver connection.

Hope this helps as I've never heard of this problem before, there again I'm only young.

I got this behaviour deliberately once with a 2100, I was experimenting with a mount where the motor was fastened to the dish and the shaft was stationary, so needed to work in reverse.
I rotated the body of the little motor inside 180deg in the PC board, thus reversing the the direction of the motor.

If this is a new 2100, there is a posssibility that it has been erroneously assembled that way, if it's a motor that has previously been working correctly, a bit more puzzling

Scratch the above i was being very dense, thought west was the other way. Much easier when you have a compass.

On another not, USALS is superb, and that technomate is really good, it's soo quick to both opperate and change channels. Makes my humax look antique.
