When blind scanning today with the new AZBOX Prem + , the VBoxII now shows Er2 If I try to move the dish in 1 direction. If I press the other direction key it works ok and I hear the 36V relay click but with the other direction key it does not click at all. I obviously have reseted and power down and even reversed the motor wires therefore that is why I say 1 direction or the other direction rather tha east or west.
It is only 9 months old , still under warranty I guess (If I find where the guys at Transat Electronics are since they are out of business now) but I wonder if there is a solution to the problem or if someone has had the same issue.
In the mean time I am just reversing the wires manually if I need the Dish to go in the opposite direction. I wonder what could have caused this because it happened out of the blue. First the AZbox Premium plus not finding everything when blind scanning like my old CS6000 indeed does and now this. I will appreciate if someone has some ideas on this.

Yes, sensor voltage, in the correct form, is 5 v DC normally, although I have seen some higher and lower when the cables are hooked up. Check your sensor (reed switch) at the dish. When it is in open condition, the voltage there too should read 5vdc on the Sense line. It should read this voltage with the wires disconnected inside also as you have said. There is also a 5 vdc terminal on the box. This should be marked for a hall effect sensor, and is not used if you have a reed switch on the motor. Hall Effect sensors use 5, and pulse, and ground. The pulse is usually marked "sense" because it really is a "if ground" detected, count, placement; of the counting devices inside the V box, and has very little amperage applied. Reed switches only use the 5 and ground, and if you hooked 5 and ground, then you've only blown your reed sw out at the dish, and only need to replace it to be in "auto" again...
Whoops, I'm trying to think too hard here, again. The 5 volts is on the 5v-11v terminal, used by only hall effect sensors, not used by the darm with the reed switch open/closed type counter at the dish arm...the "pulse" is about the "o i forget" volts, detection of ground applied and a reed switch uses pulse, or sense; and ground (pls/gnd) terminals. Applying the 5 vdc to a reed switch type sensor will fry it, no doubt. I think the voltage is 5vdc on the sense line too, but if you try to read it, it will short the line slightly enough to go to 0 vDC, and give you a funny reading on your meter, because that is what it is supposed to do. Man, I almost gotta be there to figure myselfs mindy out...

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Can we expect to see a new coach if we say "pretty please?"

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.
