HELP! DigitalDevices S2 only no discontinues outside the case :-( (2 Viewers)

[mm1352000]

So let me just check this:
- a quad LNB has 4 independent outputs
- a quattro LNB has one output for each band
Is that right?

To test with a multimeter, find something metal that is grounded (maybe a toaster?). Plug it in next to the computer. Turn on the multimeter and set it to the DC 2000mV (or similar) range - you may need to adjust up or down, but that is a good place to start. Attach the red probe to the PC case and the black probe to the toaster (ground). If the reading is too large then increase the range to 20V or whatever is the next step up. If the reading says 0, reduce the range until you see a reading. You should also check the reading on the satellite cable connector...

Shows 0V - +/- 0.0001V. I also checked the Floppy connector for the DD Card. +5 and +12 are OK.

At the moment i believe my initial finding is totally wrong. I believed it had something todo with the case as i was propably tuning for 10min while moving the card out of the case and tada i saw the signal increasing - but this was due to the tuning time and not the result of not touching the case.

I will now try to buy an external power supply for the LNB - but i find it strange that it is 12V/200ma:
Axing TZU 110-01 DC-Einspeiseset: Amazon.de: Elektronik

Hi again disaster123

I'm not sure that the power supply that you mentioned will be suitable. I think you should wait for more advice before you buy it...

OK perhaps someone has an idea. will wait - thanks for your help.

As sadly nobody seems to have an idea i buyed the axing external power supply. Sadly there are no instructions with it. Can anybody tell me how to connect / where to connect which plug?:

mhm sadly there isn't a TZU 15-02 only a TZU 15-01 which seems to be for cable or stuff like that and they use something in front of the cable the BA BVS 10 stuff

OK it just sadly seems to be the totally wrong thing. It is to provide power to an external sat amplifier (never heart about something like that).

*gr* isn't there anything to provide extra power to the sat dish itself?
