    DG280 moves East but not West

    Hello
    I have a DG280 motor that will not move any further west then 83.0w.
    I disconnected the lnb cable and held both buttons of the motor for 30 secs.
    Then tried to move it to home. Then tried to select bird 97.0w. Had no luck there. I manual pressed the motor it would move east fine. But stops at 7 degrees or 83.0w from 0 when it is moved west. Any ideas to try to clear this? Or is the motor broken?
    Thanks
    Don

    It sounds like you may have a limiter set for the motor. Have you checked your receiver's manual on how to set and reset limits. These are east and west limits for the movment. Otherwise you have the correct idea of reseting the motor per their manual:

    HARDWARE RESET BY RECEIVER
    1. Execute the command: Go To Reference (Go To “0”).
    2. Cut off the power by disconnecting the coaxial cable.
    3. Reconnect the coaxial cable.
    4. Execute the command: Shift “0”.
    5. Then, its memory erased, the receiver rewrites the satellite table to initial one and corrects the “0”

    HARDWARE RESET BY DiSEqC MOTOR
    1. Cut off the power by disconnecting the coaxial cable.
    2. Press and hold both EAST / WEST buttons for 5 seconds.
    3. Reconnect the coaxial cable.
    4. LED1 and LED2 blink for 5 seconds.

    5. Then, its memory erased, the receiver rewrites the satellite table to initial one and corrects the “0”


    I hope this helps you. I have had to do it to my motor and it worked. This is a good motor you have.

    How do I execute a shift 0 command?
    I have a Fortec Star Mecury II receiver.
    Thank you

    Have you tried resetting at the motor first?
    I think the shift 0 is resetting your receiver to its factory setting. If all else fails, try resetting your factory settings at your receiver. That way the east-west limits are erased.
