1. [TowerTalk] Orion Rotor Indication Trouble (score: 1)

After a tower rebuild this summer my Orion rotor began giving me intermittent direction indication readings. The unit will quit turning normally and will only turn in very small increments and not in

I suspect that you have a bad reed switch in the rotor. M2 sells them for $25. I am pretty sure you can not replace it on the tower, I might be wrong. Getting the rotor out and down to replace it wil

Yes, it likely that the reed switch is sticking intermittently. Its an urban legend that RG-59 is needed on the sensor lines. All thats needed is separate cables for the motor lines and the sensor li

I agree on the urban legend. I used a single cable on mine. 2c/#12 and 2c/#18 shielded in one cable. It is the same as the pigtail that comes out of the rotor (recent). The Wireman sells it. It has w

Jim, Having gone through a rebuild earlier this year, I suggest you also replace the limit switches while you have the beast apart. Make sure the motor brushes are not worn and its bypass capacitors

I'm not sure how long your cable is, but this may not work for longer runs. John KK9A I agree on the urban legend. I used a single cable on mine. 2c/#12 and 2c/#18 shielded in one cable. It is the sa

make certain that any connectors utilized do not have moisture problems...like my original gold contact connectors ....once crud built up .... they allowed the drive pulses to get into the return sig

I have the new design, expensively updated by M2 at the beginning of this year. Nothing but problems since and I ultimately switched to a Green Heron. Works perfectly and without all the hash and noi

Makes you wonder if some of the indication issues, etc. where not a Orion 2800/M2 controller combination issue. I bought a 2800 w/controller for $150 more than just a rotor alone cost. I ordered a bl
