Dg-240s

[lopied]

Hi all, Im located in Australia and i have purchased a DG-240S H-H Motor which i have installed to my post which is vertical, the problem i am having is because in Australia my satellites are located to the east when i go to drive the moteck using the usals command with my lat and longitude details, instead of driving the motor east it drives west, is this motor suitable for Australia as we are suppose to setup the motor true North not South which is required for this unit. This is driving me nuts on how to get the motor to drive in the opposite direction, maybe its just a matter of swapping the positive and negative wires internally in the unit but since its new i dont want to do that just yet.

Hi, the DG-240 can also be used in Australia without problems. According to your description, please try to double confirm the USALS setting in your satellite receiver. Please note especially that the site information of lagitude should be "S" which means your are in south hemisphere. If you chose the "N", the motor would run the opposite direction.

Theoretically, the motor should work no matter where you are. You would need to have your dish face north as you have said since the satellites are located directly over the equator. You may have to manually load the locations of the satellites into your receiver. I would not mess around with the internal wiring as that may void your warranty.
