Hi there,
I hope this is the right place to ask this question.
Where do the wires go in the back of a RL Drake Co 6246 ESR 250e Receiver?
I'll give a little background and attach some photos.
I live over in the UK and my Mum watches French TV through her Satellite Setup. She has a Big Ugly Dish on her roof that is motorised that is controlled by a Drake ESR 250e box.
She recently tried to upgrade to a new system, but here is the problem:-
The Dish is still pointing to the old Astra Satellite and it needs to be pointing to a new Satellite which is located at 5W (I think).
My mum was told that she wouldn't need the Drake box any more, so she pulled the 5 wires out the back of the Drake box without noting where they were plugged in, and now we need to get the Drake box working again to move the Satellite Dish to the right place.
I have no idea after reading the manual and looking online which of the 8 holes to plug the 5 wires in.
Can you help?
I have 2 cables that have:-
A Yellow wire clipped
A Black and Brown wire twisted together
A Blue Wire
A Green Wire that looks a bit thicker than the others
A White wire
A Red Wire that looks a bit thicker than the others
I have 8 holes at the back of the Drake box:-
LNB Select
GND
Control
+5 VDC 500mA-INT
TM
Sensor
M1
M2
Would anyone know where those 5 wires go?![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
There were also 8 pins with 3 clicked over to Servo/Mag Pol, Bipolar Mag Pol and Normal Video (see attached photo).
The only things I guessed is that the Set up is Magnetic Pol and the Black/Brown wire is to go in the Ground hole? I have no idea really :>
Any help appreciated, thanks!
