Had a problem over the weekend with my T2X. It wouldn't turn. It was working fine, then all of a sudden it was stuck at about 300 degrees. I tried the usual rocking back and forth to free the sticky
Same thing happened to me a few years ago, and it turned out that the rotary arm had worn through, about a quarter inch of the end broke off, and the rotor arm dropped off the stator coil. The fix is
My experience indicates you have a sticking brake wedge. My Ham M had a V shaped wedge and the brake never stuck. Several years ago I rebuilt the rotator and for some reason replaced the wedge with t
wedge. If it is a sticking brake wedge, you won't hear the usual "clank" noise when you stand at the bottom of the tower and the brake switch is depressed. You will just hear a fairly loud hum. This
FWIW, the AC current on wires 1 and 2 can be measured at the controller with a clamp on ammeter. The nominal normal operating current for that circuit is 3A. When the brake wedge is stuck (or, the so
Another problem that can cause interment brake function is low voltage on terminals 1 & 2 at the rotor. This is sometimes due to voltage drop on a long cable run to the tower or a deteriorating conne
