Wiring for a C band arm.

[ken2400]

How do I wire a C band dish positoning arm?

I am helping a friend with a C-band dish. They have the basic 4 - 6 wires that come in the house that are all glued together, one for V, one for H, one for the arm, and the other is for the feedhorn (has three wires) to switch between H and V.

My question is how do I wire up the arm to the receiver to move the dish? There are like 6 wires and two are thicker than the rest. Anyone have a good web site for this?

Thanks

The two thick ones go to M1 and M2 any way it don't matter, if you dish moves the wrong way to the remote then just flip em.

The two thin ones go to pulse and ground, nothing goes to the power I think it will say +5 or something, this is for H-H motor drives if I am correct.

Thanks for the info. I looked at the wires again and I have
Fat Red, Fed White, Thin green, thin orange, and thin black.

So why three thin wires. Time for a meter.

Thanks again.
