This is for the wires going to the back of the reciever

I have found one post that kinda helps but my wires are not the basic red white and black colours :(

I do have red and white but I also have brown and green

I need to know where they go

for the actuator arm I have three wires one white and one black one red.

Thanks for any help at all :)

usually there are two different ribbon cables ( that i know of)
one has a bigger black & red wire there are m1 & m2 (motor wires)
and usually wrapped together with a blue yellow brown & bare wire these are for the motor sensors
another cable with only three wires usually red black and white are for the polorotor / corotor

the other version ribbon cable has a bigger white & red wire ( m1 & m2 again)
and four smaller wires wrapped with them are orange green brown & bare (no cover/casing)

each actuator is a bit different ( if your motor is wired and has a diagram then a picture would be great) usually ground (orange) or (yellow) & pulse (green) or (blue) some use a third wire usually brown (+5V) only connect this wire if you know it needs a third wire.

the big wires are the main motor movers wires connected one way they move the dish east - west reversed they move the dish west- east

motor wires (second picture)
big white & big red = M1 & M2
small orange = ground (these are hooked up on the top row)
small green = pulse (these are hooked up on the top row)


polorotor wires ( three small wires together) third picture ( these are hooked up on the bottom row)
red = +5V
black = Ground
white = hat symbol or pulse output (depends on what unit on how its marked)

hope this helps
 
thank you very much I am now up and running and trying to arc the dish :)

I just have to get a ku/c band feed horn so I can get the free feeds on my mpeg 2 receiver :)
