hey guys.
ive finally decided to get an actuator setup going on my newly acquired CM1.2 (with CM polarmount)
the arc is tracking manually, so once im happy with that, what is the procedure on installing an actuator.
ive bought an old positioner box from ****, just to make sure tings work, i think it has 40 positions.
i have the 4 core cable ready (combined with the coax)
physically it looks easy to install the actuator
but whats the setup...the actuator should arrive tomorrow (18inch)
what are the do's and dont's
ive read a bit about limits etc, which is key to set.
presume i lock it in at 1w - the arm position is confusing, do the arms just pull out, or does the motor have to drive it out first...how long do you pull it out - half way on 1w - so it can go 45 degrees either way...?
if not half way, and because there are more sats east - so i pull it out more for east? so that theres less to go west....s that the principle???
surprised theres not a sticky on this after all this time, its only ever usals motors....
thanks all
