Viark Box motor set up issues

[ginoworm]

So i got my motor connected and aligned dish to 0.7w thor and have a signal
Clearing but how do i move the dish or setup

I should say i have a light on the motor but cant get it to move

Is this correct:

If that's on the viark then after you have set your usals up you have to go into each satellite and enable that satellite to use usals. Each satellite needs basically turning on to use the motor. You could also install a channel list and each satellite should be turned on.

Yea thats what i have done, each sat lists USALS under motor but i cannot get it to move, not even manually?

Something is telling me this is a schoolboy error but cant see where, if motor has a light i assume its getting power

Do you know which satellite the dish is parked at the moment? Can you select that satellite and try and get any type of signal on it? Your don't seem to have any quality on that transponder.

Yea its on 0.8W and is getting a signal and clearing, just looked at the motor, when i press the button either once for one way or twice for the other i hear a little click but no movement, also tried resetting the motor and no change, its a TM-2300 m3

 

[Jester1]

Are you pressing and holding or just pressing twice/ once and expecting the motor to move?

 

[Jester1]

Also did you zero the motor before aligning on 0.8w?
Is the motor new?

 

[ginoworm]

Tried both but when i press and hold i hear a light click

Stupid question have you pushed the sat button on remote. Some of the viark remotes are different and did not have it. That changes the satellite you choose.

Yes brand new motor, never used, already at zero.

Motor moved or no ?

No question is stupid at the moment

Yea im able to select a different sat but no movement, as i said i would expect to be able to move the dish pressing and holding the button on the motor?

You need to start a seperate thread

These motors have physical stops to stop over roatiting but I wouldn't expect them to be set that near to zero. Worth checking,

done

In one of the pictures above your motor rotation speed is set at 0.2 you try change it to 4.0 or higher. See if that makes a difference. Is this a new install and has the motor moved before?

 

[ginoworm]

This is a brand new motor and dish, never used before, could the motor be faulty?

Also should i expect to see a motor moving image on screen?

Back to biss just to say that I had no issues with my Viark 4k to find keys in almost one year of usage.
Obviously this forum is another very great source, but I think that the best one is to build a good setup.
I think that V1 is better than V2 although a little bit slower. A good PC with such nvidia card is enough.

 

[kegnkiwi]

You won't see a motor moving icon on viark sat or 4k, you see the icon on E2 boxes.

 

[samir mokhtari]

Are you sure the problem is not with the
Motor

Before test Button west east in motor dish
Motor moved or no
