Hi,
I was setting up the manual limits on my new Moteck Diseqc motor that I got on ebay. I didnt realise you were not meant to go past 75 degrees and went to 80 degrees seing as the dial was marked that far. Now I cant get back to 0 !!!
The manual in the faults part says if the motor goes more that 75 degrees and wont turn back it may be a malfunction with the limit switches module. Contact your vendor for repair. I dont have a vendor as i got it on ebay and at the end of the day im sure its my fault. Has anyone had any experience with this and can help me out. Ive no problems opening the motor and manually tweaking the insides.
I know its not truely broken ad i can still go in both directions just not back past 75degrees, when i reach it the red light goes on
Thanks in advance
Joel

Hi Joelclyne,
Not the same problem, but when my moteck stopped working i e-mailed the guy i guess in Taiwan.
I found the adress on the manual.
I have to say the advice given worked and they were quite quick in coming back to me.
If nothing else works, its worth a shot!!
Adress is moteck@seed.net.tw
Cheers
