Hey guys got a problem here. Have about 120 foot run of 16/4 wire in conduit ran to ASC1 to a brand new 36inch Venture ball and screw Actuator. I can set a satellite such as 103 west and then i can run 20 clicks east or west then run back to 103 and its always off by 5 to 10 clicks. Now when i open this Actuator up the day i received ,i did notice i could hear what sounded like a lose ball bearing rolling around inside of the tube. Anyone one have and idea what might be wrong?
Also another question. The Actuator actually only extends out to about 17.5 inches when fully retracted. Does that sound right to you guys? I thought it should be longer than that.
Also need to mention i have two ASC1. I tried both. One was brand new in the box i havent even used yet. They both do the same. Always off 5 to 10 clicks.
Thanks for any help.

Everyone should keep in mind the most important issue here IMHO is that the OP stated that when they received the actuator they coud hear something loose rattling around inside it.
My original recommendation to return it or get warranty service before the time to do it runs out stands. Just saying...

OK here is the problem with your answer, I have brand new one I have replace the wire going from the receiver to the actuator I have tried using a different IRD, and this is the second actuator that is doing the same thing. I am not the only one with this problem. Everyone that is having the same problem it just couldn't be the actuator.Everyone should keep in mind the most important issue here IMHO is that the OP stated that when they received the actuator they coud hear something loose rattling around inside it.

There is no problem with my answer other than you not seeing the point of it. The OP stated it was rattling new out of the box and sounded like a ball bearing rolling around inside the tube. Good actuators don't rattle - new or used - therefore it is logical to cover your bases and have it checked out before the time to send it back for replacement or service has expired. You don't buy a brand new car and just keep it when you find the engine knocks. But hey, whatever floats your boat. It's your choice (and theirs).

So I guess all of ours that is having the same problem I guess we got bad ones and should listen for a rattle LOLThere is no problem with my answer other than you not seeing the point of it.

Anyone else watch this show? Any guesses as to what was in the box Gibbs gave to Abby that was on her desk? It look liked it was glowing.
I also heard that someone was leaving the show at the end of this season. Any guesses as to who thats going to be?

Wasn't exactly sure where to post this. Just had a customer come in inquiring about internet. He has HughesNet and had heard good things about mine. He asked if we provided email addresses and it kinda caught me off guard. I said he should be able to keep whatever email he had been using....my sister in law is still using a BellSouth email addy and they haven't been around here for many years. He said he had gotten a letter from HughesNet stating that they had until Nov 16th to save, move, forward, whatever, their Hughesnet emails because they would lose them after that date.
I have never heard of a company simply mass-deleting email accounts (the customer still has his HughesNet service). From what I understand, in the past, the company who was ditching their email service simply sold the customer base to a company like Google.
Anyone else getting this letter. He said he would show it to me tomorrow when I go out there and set up his internet.

For some reason, the satelliteguys.us site is loading a lot slower than usual on both Chrome on my Asus laptop and Safari on my iPhone.
I'm also seeing longer appearances of the blue bar at the top and the "3 blue bars" loading symbol.
Is anyone else also having the same problem? Thanks in advance.

Can't help but wonder if a worker overlooked checking the harness. I rarely ride a roller coaster anymore but when I do I check the harness myself pretty aggressively.
Can't imagine what the son is going through.

It makes sense, however, I would want more types of restraints, so if one doesn't work, the other does ... the restraints coming over the shoulder I would have expected ... with a Seat belt as last resort.
Fwiw, I inquired with what they use on Coasters at Cedar Point, various Coasters, different restraints according to what the car and track requires ...
NONE of the Coasters at CP use THAT particular system
I'm glad to see ...
