Clarke Tech 5000 HD

[jart]

Hello,

I have this receiver for about two weeks and yesterday it was the second time that it broke the motor of my antena.

I have my antena with motor controlled with my technomate TM1500CI+ for one year using diseqc 1.2 with no problems (5*****).

Now with the CT5000HD using also diseqc 1.2 it brokes the motor after a few hours of operation. Strangly the the motor goes east far from the safty limits and doesn't came back anymore. I have the motor fixed and now it happens again.

Anyone has the same problem? I sent the latest official firmware 1.02.
Is it a software problem or a defective unit?

I think when I have the motor fixed again I with the TM1500CI+ for a week or two to see if the problem is for sure of the CT5000HD.

Thanks

Afraid I just use an East to West positioner on mine [ie. two buttons] I wouldn't trust a digital box to do that bit myself.

I really doubt that the receiver broke your motor.
The weak point is your motor or the installation/setup.
Do you use USALS or Diseqc 1.2??
