Positioner and DiSEqC. 1.2 - Part 1

- Actuator

- Positioner

- Cable with four wire inside (black, white, blue, red).

First of all, prepare the wire to connect between the positioner to the actuator. Simply cut it out by a cutter or use a little fire if needed.

Then, open the actuator case at the bottom and you should find the cable to connect as shown on the illustration below:

If you have found it, just connect the cable with its 4 (four) wires inside as you like. You can choose what colors of the wires to connect as long as you can remember them when you have to connect to the positioner.

After connecting this cable, go to back panel of your positioner and you should find as the illustration figure shown below (depends on any brands you have):

Be careful, the warning from the manufacturer. You could possibly damage the sensor unit if you misplace the cable to connect. So, remember the cable colors, on what color you connect the two for sensor and two more for motor. Just assume we have connected to: Sensor with blue and red, Motor with black and white. But wait a minute...

The warning from the manufacturer is a soft warning. You don't have to worry too much, because it's not a fatal one. Connect the suitable wires and you're done. In the process of connecting the wires, be sure to do not connect the positioner to any electrical power. Just leave it unconnected.

After finishing this process, try the connection wether it's right or wrong. Turn ON the positioner, then push the UP and Down button (or West and East). If it goes well, the connection is right. But if the direction is false, you just have to change between the two wires that connect to the SENSOR. Red to blue, blue to red.

If the motor won't move (up and down), please check again the connection of the two kind: SENSOR and MOTOR. Replace between the two, and do it until you find it works. Also check the limiter inside the Actuator, be sure it's not touch the limit pad.

You're done and ready to install it on the dish. Wait for part 2 on the same topic, we'll finish it later. Thanks for reading. Enjoy!
