Zgemma H9 Twin not moving motor

    Hi, I am having problems setting up this box to move the motorised dish. I can see this is a common problem with Zgemma boxes and some few people have asked the same question but it's not clear what the actual solution is. My previous vu box worked perfectly with the dish using usals settings, I would really appreciate if somebody can tell me what to do. Thanks.

    Hello! I solved the same problem with the DM380 motor. My receiver is zgemma h9s. You need to find the point after separating the Usals and + 12V signal, unsolder it and apply external power from the + 12V unit with a current of 2-3A. Good luck!

    P.S the break point (red cross) must be higher - between L2 and R. Power supply to L2 from below. Sorry, I made a mistake

    The device description says "current limiter". Its structure is not clear. The receiver does not have enough current. With the standard connection of the motor, the receiver output was blocked. Perhaps your device will work, but I used 3 meters of wire and connected it to the power circuit of the +12 V surveillance cameras.

    A similar problem was a very long time ago with the SS1 computer board and the STRONG 2100 motor.

    What do you call that current limiter? How can I get this in the UK?

    Thanks

    Thanks for your help but this solution will be expensive for me. I live on a 6th floor apartment block and my dish is just beyond reach for me. It will cost me less to buy a cheap receiver than to pay a technician to modify the motorised setup for me.

    It's a pity my friend, then it only remains to use an old satellite receiver such as OpenBox 8 ** series or GI 7 **** for turning and reconnect the receiver each time. Microminiaturization has done its job - there is a fast processor, 4k support and a motor blade. Good luck!

    3A PSU should be enough.

    Going by past experiences, problems like this PurE2 are the first to sort out...

    "Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-incurred immaturity. Immaturity is the inability to use one's own understanding without the guidance of another. This immaturity is self-incurred if its cause is not lack of understanding, but lack of resolution and courage to use it without the guidance of another. The motto of enlightenment is therefore: Sapere aude! Have courage to use your own understanding!"

    I am referring to threads like this, in Zgemma section: http://www.hd-digital-satcrew.…by-pure2-code/#post112844

    "If you have a motor, a small problem has been fixed by PurE2 code...

    I do not have a motor but.... A small bug in drivers has been fixed by PurE2 code. To activate the code and get the signal, these are the steps to follow...

    1) Tuner config > Simple > Mode > Positioner > Use Power Measurement > YES (So, not DiSEqC but "Positioner"...)


    or


    2) Mode > Positioner (selecting satellites)... Now, one chooses satellites one can have and then > SAVE, which shows up as USALS, as one gets out (possibly by using EXIT button).


    3) After that, one goes to > Positioner setup > (...) Etc. etc. Who knows more, please fill in the gaps... I haven't dealt with a motor in a long time..    ."


    Then, Delfi, or chief coder, says this:

    "Seems, it is fixed, besides USALS for diseqc 1.2 as well."

    "Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-incurred immaturity. Immaturity is the inability to use one's own understanding without the guidance of another. This immaturity is self-incurred if its cause is not lack of understanding, but lack of resolution and courage to use it without the guidance of another. The motto of enlightenment is therefore: Sapere aude! Have courage to use your own understanding!"

    So after lots of messing around with the tuner configuration settings, it seems I have fixed the problem thanks to pointers from Gorski. I set configuration to advanced, selected usals - selecting satellites, changed Increased voltage to Yes and lastly entered my longitude and latitude for usals. I have the major satellites between 30w and 39e, I have tested in pure2, opeantv, openspa and pli and is working fine.

    Super-dooper! Good on ya! :)
