[QUOTE="Yorks, post: 282438, member: 191461"] 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 [SIZE=2][B]CS012 LNB [/B]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 [B]off[/B] ( 0 volts in menu) multimeter DC voltage measurement [B]11.65v[/B] [/SIZE][SIZE=2]0/12v supply [B]on [/B]( 12 volts in menu) multimeter DC voltage measurement [B]9.3v[/B] 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 [/SIZE]:confused: [SIZE=2] [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
