Technomate v-box 2

Hi,
I don't have one but Er2 has something to do with "no pulse" that is - if I understand this correctly - the "communication" between the V-Box and the motor is not working
It seams that the motor has driven beyond its limits.
Maybe a problem with a cam / diode or microswitch in the motor.
You may have to get the ladder out but
Try this first:
Drive motor to position. press the limit button on remote control (small hole), press E or W to select the low or high limit then press enter.
Google "er2 technomate" For a clearer understanding, quite a few results.

Can I put my oar in. On my VBox1 Er* is Error. Either dish is not moving, or dish has reached limit. Do you get the same Er2 when you go East or West? If going East and Er2 comes on my VBox it means I have reached Limit, and vice-versa the other way. codar is most probably correct, it is most probably a switch, reed or otherwise. What are you driving your dish with?

I'm using a jager superjack 24 inch actuator to drive the dish.Going east or west getting er2, have disabled limets done reset and it makes no difference.I reckon my actuator is the problem and will buy a new one for € 74. If anyone can save me €74 that would be great

Had similar problems here last year. After buying a new V-box I found it was superjack actuator to be at fault. Changed reed but didnt improve it so new actuator and all fine now.

Hi,

Could be the reed switch or the motor. I have a spare superjack, I think it is a 24" for FREE. PM me either your mobile/landline or where you live.

Had a similar problem last year turned out to be the Reed Switch especially if the jack is still moving a new reed switch is about £5 and a 2 minute job

Sorry about an earlier post my spare jack is 18" not 24".
