Right now I am watching:
Fox News comes in ch 18
Shop at Home ch 10

coming in from random south sat.
those channels come in w/ out any power wires, just coax cable.


SO HOW DO I hook up the wires to move the dish?

 

[inwo]

Two of the act wires will be bigger. They are the motor leads and go to the 4amp 24 v terms. If the dif isn't obvious you will have to look inside act.

The other two act wires go to pulse and ground. Not near the pol terms, but by the act/motor terms.

The two motor wires are interchangable as are the pulse and ground. However if you connect the pulse leads to the motor power leads at the rec, you will damage the reed switch in act.

thanks for the help,

umm... How will I know if i damaged the reed switch?

 

[dfergie]

If you damaged the switch the actuator should show error message and will not be able to "sense"where the dish is at...(from what I remember on mine)

 

[i4tas]

Sometimes when I tried hooking up the wires I would receive:

ERROR-6


I hope I didn't break it.

red, black, blue(old wire = green), brown(old wire = orange)

LNB
red black White

these are the polarity wires to go to the servo on the Lnb... should be same color there...

SO HOW DO I hook up the wires to move the dish?

the red and black should be the motor leads..(and will be larger) you can hook them up and maybe manually move the dish if your actuator control allows this... and maybe its not broke...
