Kathrein satelite problems

[Franck537]

Hi,
I bought a used Kathrein Mobiset 3 twin cap 720 system. When i tested it worked fine. But when i mounted it on the roof i Get no connection. So i have now taken it down, checked all connections and can still not find the problem. Any idea? It clicks two times when dekoder tries to make connection.

Is the roll pin on first photo supposed to be that far out top left of photo

I have no idea. I got it to work one time. It went up, moved around and got it back down. After that nothing...

Wild guess - the pin in question looks like it hits a bar which activates a microswitch .. which could be to stop and reverse the rotation so cables don't get twisted and pulled out. If it's triggered that and has stopped but not reversed, might that be the issue?

Hmm great idea, didnt think that could be possible. So i should just try to Get the pin to the other side of the bar?

+1. Could be the microswitch. My Oyster sat was diagnosed with a faulty microswitch. Easy to test and replace....assuming yours has one !!!
