Hello peeps.
I am a complete novice when it comes to electronics, and would appreciate some advice.
I have a Fortec Star receiver (FSCI5100 Ultra). I want to use it's 0/12v output (RCA socket) to switch a CS012 LNB electronic switch.I have been unable to get the switch to operate correctly, and suspect the fault may be with the receiver output.
If I put one end of a multimeter on the center pin connection of the receiver (lid removed) and the other end to ground (F connector) I get the following readings.
0/12v supply off ( 0 volts in menu) multimeter DC voltage measurement 11.65v
0/12v supply on ( 12 volts in menu) multimeter DC voltage measurement 9.3v
Am I measuring at the right points?
Shouldn't I at least be getting a higher measurement when the supply (according to the menu) is switched on?
I have left the box unplugged from the mains overnight but it has made no difference.
Any help welcome.
Regards,
Yorks
