Fibo Gregorian motorised 1m

[scottj130208]

Bought this the other day has a motor but not like normal motors I have seen there is 2 inputs on lnb but the motor only has one wire coming out from it and it contains 4 wires inside it not sure if I connect this to lnb as there not coax but electrical wires really stuck what to do next

The Fibo original motor is powered by a VBox similar to how an actuator works, so basically the LNB cable goes straight to the receiver and the 4 core cable goes to a Vbox which powers the motor.

You cant use USALS with the motor attached only Disecq 1.2 which means you will have to store each satellite separately in the Vbox memory. Takes some time to do but very easy

The Fibo you have if still in very good condition once setup correctly will give you the same performance as a similar 1.2m dish

I'm new to motorised set up can I buy a v box and roughly how much cost involved digicon thanks for your help appreciate it

[digicon]

A Vbox is roughly around ?45 and then you will need 4 core Cable for external use again around ?1-?1.50 a meter

Thanks just looked on the bay now there is a few on there not sure what other leads I need tho the 4 core you mentioned

[digicon]

you need some electrical 4 core Flax at least 0.75mm Gauge for the motor and as it will be run outside you need to make sure that you get external use.

Something like this:

what about the extra 5v connection on the fibo motor? standard v-box is no good,regards mdt
