Hi everyone,
Can you help me with suggestions or opinion or informational????
It's Winter!!!! Cold temp. but no snow!!! : - )))
I need help about using my 1st BUD, which is 13 years old.
The 24 inch actuator are is 14 years old and it doesn't like the COLD
temp. and COLD breezy wind. When that happen, it STALLS!!!!
Can't move the dish. So what I've been doing for a solution, which is
a pain in the butt, is to go outside with a metal stick to tap or tap harder
onto the actuator arm gear motor, the back of the actuator arm to move
the dish. And that works as well.
I wish I have some kind of heating system that would heats up the BUD
so that the actuator arm wouldn't be stalled. It likes summer!!!!
But I happen to found which I FORGOT ALL ABUT IT, I bought a heating
system on ebay. And I am wondering whether are you familiar with it and
whether can you help me with it???
I include photos attachment for you to see what I have.
I forgot all about it, this was 5 years ago I bought it on ebay.
And I am wondering if it possible for using it for my BUD.
However, the hearting system does not include the power cord,
and it doesn't include the cable that go from the rare end of the heating
system to go out to the dish.
No power cord and no heating cable line.
I'm hoping a heating cable would be something simple.
Either a magnet or clamp that go onto the back of the BUD.
And it should heats up.
Would Home Depot or Lowes have the type of heating cable
for this heating system I got.
See include photos. What do you think???
The heating system brand make is:
"ViaSat"
Model: 8243A
De-Ice Controller.
Hope all helps with answers.
Thanks,
