Technomate TM-2300 Diseqc motor
The new Technomate 2300 motor is 35% faster than the previous 2100A motor. Output pole diameter 50mm
The Technomate TM-2300 is one of the best Diseqc motor we have tested. It now includes the new
re-enforced metal plate. It is a good choice for people who want a reliable replacement
motor for their system. It is ideal for applications where only a coaxial cable is possible
recommended for dishes up to 1.0m. Or 1.1m dishes as long as the location is not too exposed.
There has been a debate lately about steel or nylon gears-
Most Diseqc motors (and heavy duty 36 volt motors) have used nylon gears for many years for a very good reason.
The fact is that nylon gears are much quieter than steel gears and if reliability with this motor has never been
a problem, then they may well be the best option. The advantage of this Technomate motor is the fact there is
no play in the gears at all. This is not the case with many other Diseqc motors. It is interesting to note that
even the massive 17 Kg Jaeger 1224 36 volt motor below, designed for big dishes, uses nylon gears. MUCH quieter!

Linear 36V Actuator Information.
Straight (linear) actuators fit many types of
polar mount but you need to know the length of actuator you require.
Straight actuators push a polar mount east and west and the polar mount follows the satellite arc. They are available in various lengths.
The Raven (formally Andrews or Channel Master) polar mounts for 90cm, 1.0m and 1.2m use a
12-inch standard actuator or you
can use an
18-inch standard actuator on the
1.2m Raven dish. The polar mount for the Raven 1.8m dish uses an 18-inch heavy
duty actuator. The Primesat 1.8m dish uses a
18-inch heavy duty actuator. The Raven 2.4m dish uses a 36-inch actuator.
The 3.7m dish uses a
36-inch actuator. Referring to the top left hand picture, the top actuator is a standard actuator
and the bottom one a heavy duty actuator. A heavy duty
24-inch actuator weighs 7.0 Kg. A standard
24-inch actuator weighs 4.5Kg.
Heavy duty actuators are thicker, heavier, have a larger motor and have more torque. Mini-Jacks are 6-inches long
They are narrower than standard actuators and the fixing bolts are also narrower. The spare part which does the counting is
called a
Reed Switch and is available below. We also sell
inclined orbit polar mounts. These mounts are for tracking inclined orbit
satellites which move in and out of the "Clarke Belt". They use 2 actuators. One for east and west and the other for up and down.
Polar mounts are used for dishes of 1.2m and larger. The inclined orbit polar mount with 2 actuators for the 2.3m dish weights 64Kg!
These polar mounts are exclusive and are manufactured within our group of companies.
"Superjack" actuators.
If it says "Superjack" on the side of the actuator it is a genuine Superjack actuator.
Beware - some web sites may show pictures of "Superjack" actuators and may state in the notes that they are "Superjack"
actuators but when you receive the actuator it may be a different make (often a similar sounding name but
not "Superjack"). It may be cheaper but please note that an original "Superjack" has a high build quality.
Genuine Superjack actuators are available below. All actuators include -
A
Free test cable and our own specially prepared "
testing and fitting guide" is
included with every actuator. (Worth £9.50)
We have sold 36V actuators since 1991 and our proven methods are worth following. We recommend a test procedure before
fitting a new actuator as detailed in our notes. We have a dedicated technical help line, just for our customers. We can guide
you through the testing and fitting process. You can buy a discounted spare
Reed Switch for only £1.95
(saving £3.00)

Genuine Superjack 12-inch actuator.
HARL-3612+ HR model.. Free test cable.
High Resolution (HR) model for use as a vertical up down actuator in inclined orbit motors.
Actuators contain a 4 pole magnet which, with the reed sensor, does the counting and this provides feedback to the
dish positioner which does the counting. This actuator has an 8 pole magnet. That means it has twice the counts
(twice the resolution) of a normal actuator. This is useful when used as the vertical up / down actuator in inclined
orbit motors. The movement up and down is quite small and a higher resolution provides more accuracy.
There is no need to use this actuator on standard polar mounts for east to west movement.
Weight 3.5 Kg. Complete with bolts and hanging sleeve.
If it says "Superjack" on the side of the actuator it is a genuine Superjack actuator.
Beware - some web sites may show pictures of "Superjack" actuators and may state in the notes that they are "Superjack"

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.

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.
