Having a clear up in my garage an old F/T stab motor turned up, without connecting it to a dish and sat receiver can I check if its going to work ? I use a 36v actuator for my 1.25mtr dish so I don't want to dismantle a perfectly lined up and working set up.
I took the back of and put 12volts across the motor terminals direct and the motor turns fine in both directions, if I put 12v across the f-socket input on the exterior of the stab motor it does nothing in either direction, I suspect it needs a command signal from the receiver down the cable to initiate controlled movement.
Anyone know how these work or how to test one please?
