My Orion 2800 rotor has developed a tendency to not rotate during
contests.....
According to the "supplemental information pertaining to M2 products"
posted on M2 website:
"Why doesn't the RC2800 control unit get pulses?"
2. No 11.4 VDC is present between terminal 5 and 6 on the back panel
(tested with the wire on terminal 5 removed). If no voltage is
found call M2 for further instructions.
Its after hours at the moment....
I read 4.95 VDC between the terminals. Tonight it turns most
of the time, but not always. Does anyone have experience on
this point? Other in-shack measurements, such as round-trip
resistance and motor pulsing are ok.
