Diseqc switch problem

Re: Diseqc switch problem

Normaly the switch is outside near the dish to reduce the amount of cables into the house. Some switches have water problems because of rain. Where did you install your switch?
If it is outside, is it waterproof or protected against rain?

I use a little plastic box outside with three switches in it and it works fine. In my experience a cheap and effective solution.

Re: Diseqc switch problem

an improvement may be to insert in a plastic box and filling it with the component polyurethane

Re: Diseqc switch problem

If you can keep the switch inside you'll be better off.

Re: Diseqc switch problem

...for me the possible causes are:
1) low quality materials, brand changes
2) low temperatures.

I think temperatures are not the problem. My switches work fine from -20°C up to 40°C.

@ valrug: My box is filled with fresh air, up to now no problem. Perhaps I could try to fill it up.



The main reason mostly is the low quality of the switch (if the other parameters are ok).

Re: Diseqc switch problem

I had a similar problem with diseqc, poorly worked, it turned out that the cable is not in order, but it was the fact that I put on the connector insulating tape, the tape threw, cable cleaned, now everything is working, the plastic box is not set

Re: Diseqc switch problem

In my opinion
one of your receivers has problem.
You should measure the volts that the box is sending to diseqc by a polymeter.

A second solution to your problem, if boxes are ok, is to change the make of diseqc.
The quality of the diseqc you use may be very low.
You can try to buy a more expensive diseqc with better quality.

Re: Diseqc switch problem

dear tech1010

We can do only guess about your problem.
You must find the solution.

You must do some tests in order to find the cause of your problem.

Did you try to change your diseqc with a new one, different make ?

Keep in mind that many diseqc doesn't work properly with Dreambox,
especially these with 8-port.

I have hear good words about centauri 8-ports and of course about spaun but they are too much expensive...

Did you check your box about hardware problem ?

Finally,
are you sure about your settings in the box?
