GEOSATpro Need help setting up USALS with a HH120 motor

[kdjuan]

Hey guys I got my new dish a 120cm geosatpro and a HH120 motor. I need some help in getting it going. I can't even get it to move. Iam using a link box 9000i. Do I have something set wrong.

How To Install a USALS Motor - Condensed Version

How to install a USALS Motor A Condensed Guide By Michael Graves, KE4EST 1. First and very important. Make absolutely sure your pole or mast is plumb. You can get away with a mast that is off a little when only aiming at one satellite for a fixed dish, but NOT with a motor used for...

I have it hooked up i just cant get it to move.

 

[KE4EST]

Do you have another receiver to try? Perhaps that one is not sending proper USLAS commands?
Good piece of coax from receiver straight to receiver port on the motor?

Your sideways pics are hard to read. haha

 

[kdjuan]

yes i have tried 2 different receivers and yes i have a good piece of coax and good connectors.

 

[KE4EST]

Have you tried to move it with DiSEqC 1.2?

 

[kdjuan]

yes and it still doesnt move.

 

[LocutusOfBorg]

Does it move when you press the button on the motor? One press makes it move one way and 2 rapid presses will make it move the other way (as I recall). If not, power isn't getting to the motor or something is wrong with the motor.

 

[kdjuan]

it does move at all.

Did you test out the motor without the dish attached? I usually do that beforehand just to make sure it is working.

Also, any reason why the motor is mounted upside down?

I have the same STB and from the pics it looks okay.

How about a photo of the motor where the coaxes are attached?

I'd check the coaxes for continuity also.

Also, any reason why the motor is mounted upside down?

While the Stab HH90 is installed with the shaft pointing down the HH100 and HH120 both install with the shaft pointing upward so he is good there. Here is a pic of my HH100 with my 90cm Fortec Star (and a modded DirecTV Slimline for Orby on top of the pole).

The instructions states not to mount it down.

I have the exact setup and I have my turned the other way and it works fine, did you do a reset on your motor? does the motor have the green light on?

That is not the exact same. Yours is a HH90.

Yes the HH120 the dish mounts on top.
I would "2nd the motion" to try to move the "motor" without the dish mounted and LNBF disconnected. Then try with the LNBF connected. If that's good them mount the dish again and try it. Maybe the receiver doesn't have enough power to get the motor to move with a PLL LNBF?
Another thing, make sure you try a horizontal transponder in your receiver setup so you get 18v at the motor.

That looks like an SG2100.

 

[KE4EST]

That looks like an SG2100.

I thought it could be, but he was sure it was STAB, so I thought I was looking at it wrong. I just knew it was not a HH120.

 

[kdjuan]

Hey guys UPDATE!!!! I received a new STAB HH120 moto i have it mounted. iam having an issue now. i was able to receiver 87w which is my nearest south satellite but i wasnt able to get the other satellites. so i made a small adjustment and iam now able to get 85w, 91w to 127w. iam now unable to get 87w. what iam i doing wrong. what adjustment do i need to make.

 

[KE4EST]

Are you sure you are using good, active transponders for 87W?
