Primesat heavy duty inclined orbit
motor for Raven 2.4m dishes.
Note - Raven Skyware Global dishes were formally Andrews and before that Channel Master
This mount is produced by our sister company
www.primesat.eu
for the Satellite Superstore. It is designed for the 2.4m Raven
dish (dish not included). "Primesat heavy duty polar mount with actuator options". The polar mount is mostly "dipped galvanised".
The "dish back plate frame and collar" are etch primed, primed, top coated and baked in an oven to provide a durable finish.
All of the nuts and bolts are made of stainless steel except the main elevation and declination adjusters which are made of brass.
The polar mount includes a frame that is designed to fit on the back of the Raven 2.4m dish using the 4 bolts that come with
the Raven dish. Genuine
heavy duty Superjack 36"
actuator and high resolution 18-inch heavy duty actuators are optional.
Weight of polar mount 47Kg. Weight of 36-inch actuator 8Kg. Weight of 18-inch actuator 5Kg. Total weight 60Kg.
This polar mount motor unit is designed to clamp onto a 100mm (4-inch) diameter pole. An ideal ground stand is the
Primesat GS10016
stand.
Note - Raven dishes were formally "Andrews dishes" and before that "Channel Master".
A standard polar mount for the Raven 2.4m dish is also available - see
above.
4 core motor
control cable for this motor can be found on the
cable page.
This is our Mk 2 polar mount with improved heavy duty collar for fitting to pole.

How does a reed switch work?.
A reed switch is a magnetically operated switch (sensor). It provides "feedback" in the form of "counts" to the positioner so that
the positioner knows where the dish is. On the end of the motor shaft inside the actuator there is a 4 pole magnet. The reed sensor
or reed switch is positioned alongside this magnet. Every time the motor goes round once, the 4 pole magnet pulls the switch over
4 times. That is to say the switch opens and closes 4 times and the positioner (e.g. V Box) sees this as 4 counts. This is how the
positioner knows where the dish is. If the reed switch fails completely there will be no counts and the dish will not move
or it will move a little then stop. (however, there are other reasons why this can happen, e.g. incorrectly wiring the V Box
can cause the V Box to fail with the same outcome, or a break in the 4 wire control cable or corroded terminals). If there
is miss-counting this is almost always a faulty reed switch. e.g. there may be some counting but the dish does not return
to the correct position, missing the satellite. This is not caused by the positioner but it can be caused in very very rare
occasions by a weak magnet. Highly unlikely. 499 times out of 500 it would be the reed switch. A reed switch is easy
to replace. No more difficult than replacing a fuse in a plug assuming the dish is easily accessible.

Reed Switch from the 3 types available

Advice on Motors.
Shown above - left an "h to h" 36V motor for 1.2m to 1.5m dishes. Right a DISEqC motor for dishes up to 1.1m
There are two types of motors. DISEqC motors and 36 volt motors. DISEqC motors use 18V and 200mA (0.2A) approx.
36 volt motors are designed for larger dishes. They inject more power using a separate 4 core power cable. They
use 36-volts and about 3 amps. That is twice the voltage and 10 times the current compared to DISEqC motors. DISEqC
motors weigh about 2.5Kg and 36-volt motors typically weigh from 15Kg (for 1.2m dishes) to 35Kg (for 3m dishes)
We would recommend a DISEqC motor on dishes up to 1.0m steel or 1.1m Aluminium as long as the 1.1m dish was not
in a very exposed location. A sheltered location would probably be one with a wall behind it. An exposed location
would be a dish on a high pole above the gutter. In an exposed location a 90cm dish on a DISEqC motor is fine but
a 1.0m dish would be marginal. There are DISEqC motors with nylon gears and DISEqC motors with metal gears. There
is nothing wrong with nylon gears. Some big 36-volt motors on 2.4m dishes use nylon gears. They are very quiet,
strong and reliable. Some DISEqC motors use metal gears. Since a DISEqC motor cannot be made any larger as
only the LNB current is available to drive it (single cable), it can be made a little stronger with metal gears but
they are a little noisier. For that reason we would recommend DISEqC motors with metal gears for 90cm, 1.0m and
1.1m dishes. Dishes below 90cm can use nylon or metal gear motors. For 1.2m and larger dishes, 36 volt motors
should be used. All DISEqC motors are horizon to horizon motors (h to h). That means the motor drives a central
bearing and the motor typically has a turning capability of about plus or minus 60 degrees (total 120 degrees).
Some 36-volt motors are also h to h, however, most use a polar mount and a linear (straight) actuator. Polar mounts
are inherently stronger than h to h motors as the turning force is applied some distance from the centre. This
gives it more leverage. In addition, the wind is resisted by the actuator as the resistance is also at some
distance from the centre. This improved leverage resists the wind much better than applying the resistance at the
centre of an h to h motor. This is why most 36V motors use polar mounts and actuators. The only disadvantage
of the polar mount is that the amount of turning is usually about plus or minus 40 degrees (total 80 degrees)
Since this 80 degree span covers most if not all of the satellites seen from the UK, it is not really an issue.
