Motor losing power?

QMCHanna · #1 (**permalink**) 12-12-2008, 07:11 PM

I just bought an antenna package that included a SG2100 motor. I am using a Viewsat 2000 Ultra receiver. When I turn on the power the green led on the motor will come on for about 3 seconds, then blink red and go out. I can manually move the motor while the green led is on but it will not do anything after it goes out. I have tried it connected and disconnected to the LNB and with two different receivers (same model) and with three different cables ranging from 20'-75'. Do I just have a bad motor or is there another possible problem?

New development. I tried a different cable and the motor now works. However while working with it I turned it to 75 degrees east and can't get it to turn back. When I cycle the power off and then on the green light comes on on the motor but as soon as I try to move it, either manually or with the remote the LED turns orange and the motor will not turn. HELP!!!

I'm wondering how to get mine working again.
