[TowerTalk] ORION 2300 Rotator Help

[Jon Pearl - W4ABC]

Hi Hector,


 From the .pdf manual located at 
http://www.m2inc.com/amateur/or2800px-azimuth-motor-only-no-control-unit/

*Positioner Wiring*

#1) DC Motor Black

#2) DC Motor Black

#5) Reed - Orange [2 Pulses Per Rotation]

#6) Reed - Blue [Gnd.]


*RESISTANCE TEST OF CABLE AND ROTATOR*
This test is done with the wires remove from the RC-2800PXAZ control
unit. Turn off unit before removing wires.
FROM
One motor lead to the other:…………….2.4 to 8 Ohms.

One reed switch lead to the other……….either low res. 1-10 Ohms or
a total open depending on the position of the magnet and reed switch.

Any lead to ground………………………..total open or >20 megOhms

Either motor lead to either reed lead……total open or >20 megOhmss

*VOLTAGE TEST OF THE RC2800 ONLY*
Note: these voltages only appear for a second or so when no rotator is
attached. You must also PROGRAM P5 TO 9 temporarily to get non pulsed
voltage.

Terminal #1 to #2 (Motor voltage)……….45 vdc + or – when pushing the CW 
or CCW buttons.

Terminal #5 to #6 (reed sw. voltage……..11.3 vdc when pushing the CW or 
CCW buttons.

Terminal #1 or #2 to case ground………...45 vdc

*VOLTAGE TEST WHEN OR2800 IS RUNNING AT SPEED 9*

Terminal #1 to #2………………….30 to 35 vdc

Terminal #5 to #6………………….pulsed 11.3 volts (sq. wave)
