I need some ideas for preventing my Tic Ring motor from freezing. For the past three years every time the temperature falls below freezing my Tic Ring stops working. Other times it works perfectly. M

Hi Not sure which model or revision you have but assume it's the older aluminum box encased motor unit. The ring rotor is a basic electro/mechanical unit and it's weak line is it's positioning " POT"

Wayne, Thank you for your suggestions. The rotor is the 1048D. Abut 3 years old. The pot resistance measurements do not vary with temperature. More likely mechanical in the area of the motor interfac

I had that problem at my station in Illinois and it was most prevalent when the temperature was just below freezing. In my case it was moisture in the potentiometers. I did all I could to make the un

John, That's pretty much what I was thinking of doing. Trouble is it sucks to go up there now and when the weather warms up it is easy to put it out of mind. I'll google for a silicon heating unit. T

The silicone heater that I used was made by Ogden. I'm still not sure of the model - some are listed on http://www.ogdenmfg.com/proc8ax.htm#silicone John KK9A I had that problem at my station in Illi

Summary of mechanical failure modes for TIC Ring Rotor and solutions: 1. Motor shaft rotating within first external gear (rather than turning the gear). This gear is connected to the motor using two

TIC has changed their design numerous times, perhaps eliminating or creating problems along the way. With my six rotators, I have never had a problem with alignment or with the gear slipping on the s
