    i am having the reed count on the actuator changing from day to day.

    Mis-counting is common problem. Can you post a picture of your reed/hall/optic switch? Spacing from magnet can be critical. (bounce) Sometimes the angle. Turn barrel 1/4 turn or reverse a plug-in type. Often just poor design or weak magnets. Counts per second are more important than...

    Birdview H-H mover manual/parts listing

    Reed kits are easy to make/adapt from others. I made my own from something. Don't remember what model. It was a multipolled magnet wheel. An angle bracket under a motor mount bolt. And a reed or hall switch. If I found my reed box I bet I have a few.

    Need a tweak tip...

    Declination is not critical. No need to mess with it. Adjust elevation to a southern sat and don't touch it. Go to furthest west sat and lift edge of dish and lower edge of dish. Signal should drop off either way. If it does dish is peaked. if not: Mark az on pole and move 1/4". Run...

    Got the dish up. Wiring Help

    Two of the act wires will be bigger. They are the motor leads and go to the 4amp 24 v terms. If the dif isn't obvious you will have to look inside act. The other two act wires go to pulse and ground. Not near the pol terms, but by the act/motor terms. The two motor wires are...

    hooking up a vbox to an actuator with hall effect sensor

    Pulse inputs do have pullup resistor. Correct connection is to grd and pulse. Reed switch pulls pulse input down to grd. Hall effect is not the same as optic sensor. Wiring is the same however. There are three leads, grd, and pulse are connected same as reed switch. The third lead is what...
