Advice Needed Can anyone identify this motor...

[Channel Hopper]

its up!

hey guys, spent all morning removing polar mount, and aligning and installing whatever this motor is onto the 1.2m - took forever to find 30w with a decent signal.

seems to be ok, and pretty solid, i guess time will tell - winds etc.

i didnt get on with the actuator - might have to flog it - or keep it as backup.

its been a learning curve though - the NON USALS experience.

the dish moves A LOT quicker than Diseqc motor - seems powerful. just hope it lasts

i will move the dish above garage at some point - shattered now tho.

will play some more later, only have a few positions stored.

Why don't you like it ? If it is quiet and works on the cm reflector then stick with it.

If you are not happy with the faded sticker then print another.

It does the job, it's fast and I doubt it will break down anytime soon.

The only issue I could nail down with them was an illogical dowel pin arrangement where the lower average intelligence installer forgot to remove a locking screw before pulling the dowel out by tightening an 8mm nut.

that looks same as mine.

i meant to ask actually - i've moved my dish so I can now get the extreme EAST sats again, HOWEVER, I cant drive the dish past 45e - VBOX says ERR2 - no limits have been set on the VBOX yet - so i was wondering if limits have been set on the motor - if so, how to clear them...?

clearly the degrees marked on motor above accoomdate going further than 45e and 45w - i was hoping to drive it to 53e

If you remove the black motor cover (where the cable enters) there should be some adjustable hardware limits.

I believe there are no locking screws in the limit adjusters, just a spring to engage the two set of teeth

The lower limit may also move so mark where it is on the casing before adjustment.

found this post - im hoping its the same principle

Jaeger SMR 1224 motor manual

Does anyone have information on how to disable the limits, on the Jaeger SMR 1224 motor? Just got round to replacing my Moteck H180, with the 1224, but it seems to have a hardware limit set around 37 degrees East, as I can't get it to move beyond this point. If anyone has a link, to a manual, or...

i see how it works now - little microswitches when hit by the notch, cuts off the movement - pulling up and turning clockwise to move the notch slightly and therefore moves the cut off point widens the movement

done! can now get 53e again.

Think I've got one of those in the garage - it came from a local "recycling" yard and attached to the TD88 that's now down the garden.

OTOH, I never used it, so I don't know if it still works but it'll be free to anyone who wants to pick it up from W.London - PM me if interested.
