DG240 Mount

[NewLearner]

I have a simple question about the DG240 Mount. If I connect it with Receiver with its switch ON, should the motor in DG240 move east or west after I push either button on the bottom of the Mount? In my case, it did not move at all. Following the instruction on manual, I couldn't tighten the screw on side because it is already tight. Thanks.

yeah it should move when pushing the east and west buttons or at least mine does. check you coax and connectors may not be get good contact or bad cable.

Seems like it might also depend upon whether the receiver was on a sat programmed with the LNBF voltage turned on too. Ie I can't remember what state new receivers come in before satellites are programmed in. Ie seems like there's a good chance that the LNB voltage might not be on.
Just a thought.

very possible Bill as I had mine hooked to the ultra which was already prograimed.

Thank all for your replies. I will try to hook up with LNBF and receiver together this weekend to see if it will work.

Thank you Bill and Rainman. First time when I conncect DG240 to the receiver and I saw the Positioner was OFF. After I change it to USALS, the motor in DG240 was automatically moved. Now everything is fine.
