Hi all,
Thanks for the various replies, I was away for a bit and then got distracted by life...
Turns out it was just the linking cable between the motor and LNB (also swapped the input to #1, but not sure if that made a difference).
I'll probably be back with some more questions at some...
Yes, motor runs fine without the LNB.
Really don't want to change receiver it cost a considerable amount and is brand new. I would assume that they should be made for this its not exactly an extreme use case is it... Do current boosters exist?
The receiver can supply up to 400mA.
I think the motor uses up to 300mA although I am not certain, I have no idea what current the LNB uses.
The cable is all high quality WF100 solid copper cable, probably a 10 - 15m run.
I will try a new motor - LNB jumper.
I didn't think there was a...
Hi all,
I have a dish with a Primesat PR3600B motor that I am trying to get set up with my system however I am having issues with the motor not turning.
On its own I can get movement however when I plug my LNB in I get no movement on the dish.
As it is initial setup I have not proven the LNB...
Hi Dave,
Thanks for that, just to clarify a few things...
If I am using a 36V positioner then I will need an H2H set-up for the dish rather than a diesec motor? Can I diesec motor be used with this setup?
For my understanding, you use er eitha 36V positioner and H2H or a diesec motor and they...
Hi,
I'm after Turksat and Arabsat if I can reach that far, basically looking in the direction , not sure exactly what else I could pick up.
Honestly it probably won't be a H2H dish, that is probably overkill I was more interested if it is possible to do what I suggested and have a positioner in...
Hi all,
Hope this is the correct place (apologies otherwise - please move).
I am after general help, to see if what I am after is possible.
I have been asked to help design a system as I have a network engineering background, however satellite systems beyond a standard sky dish set-up are out...
