Default motor problem

I installed a Stabhh90 motor a week ago.It tracks east very well.but today I tried to go to intelsat 907. .But the motor goes just passed due south then returns to zero.My receiver is a skyline DSR4000 with 60 cm dish.I am using usals.The motor will not move at all DiSEqC1.2.THere are no instuctions on usal or DiSqC1.2 in my manual.I have tried several western satelittes with the same results.I don'nt want to replace the motor only to find that my receiver is at fault.So any advice would be appreciated.

I cannot find your receiver on _http://sat-receiver-world.com/.
I am wondering if the western limits have been activated thus stopping western travel of your motor. Can you delete all limits and see if that solves your problem? Or that the mechanical limit in your motor has slipped, hence you cannot drive to the west. Look in the motor handbook to see if there are mechanical limits for your motor.

Hello bh.The system was bought at b&q.The skyline is sold by philex.It seems that It could be a compac silvercrest sl35 clone as sold by maplin.In the usals menu there is a box to set limits.the default setting is disable limt.Left clicking it changes "Set West Limit".A box flashes up for a second "Set positioner west limit"There dos'nt seem to be a way to set the limits from the receiver.ray

My guess would be either hardware or software limits set as BH suggested, or maybe your receiver wants all the satellite positions defined in an easterly direction (i.e. west is -ve).

Also, have you set your location coordinates, as USALS will need this information?

DiSEqC 1.2 should definitely work if you have USALS sorted. Have another look through your receiver menus, or check the Silvercrest manuals in the relevant section here.
