In certain instances, a capacitor is used at the actuator across the motor terminals to reduce motor noise from entering the control wire distribution. In other situations, a capacitor is placed across the S1/S2 terminals on the back of the controller.
Loss of position or counts in one direction is likely to be a mechanical problem with the mount or slipping clamp. Pulse count errors (reed switch cycles) would typically occur in both directions of motor travel.
When driving using the STB DiSEqC 1.2 command from saved satellite position "A" to saved position "B" does the motor land short of the destination satellite and require bumping the dish in the same direction of travel to optimize?
Or
When driving from saved satellite position "A" to saved position "B" does the motor travel past the destination satellite and require bumping the dish in the opposite direction of travel to optimize?
Does the control cable bundle have a shield around the two pulse (S1/S2) wires? If so, where is the shield drain wire connected to ground?
Is the dish grounded? If so, how is it grounded? Is the dish bonded to the house structure ground? If so, how is it grounded?
