Power out of zgemma to LNB

[htidjordan]

Hi all.
I’m getting zero percent signal on both my Zgemma 5.2C and h2s boxes. I thought my dish may need realigning but my boxes won’t power my signal finder. So I presume if no power is being sent to my LNB I’m assuming this would render the dish useless.
Does anyone have any ideas why no power would come from the box? Could it possibly be a fuse inside the box?

On the h2s there is only one powered port on the box

You only really need it for a motor

the box needs to send a voltage to the LNB so it knows if its on a HIGH or LOW frequency

If two boxes are doing it
Then would it be the lnb

Sorry, missed that bit,
In that case, I'd think a fault with cabling is the issue,
The signal finder isn't even getting a voltage.

yea cable or lnb
boxes two of them at the same time cant see it

Thank you for your reply’s.
As a last resort I plugged into different port on LNB and hey presto it worked. So I’m assuming the lnb port i was originally using was faulty and obviously the box is sending a voltage.
Doesn’t explain why it won’t power my satellite finder thou which definatly works as I sent 12v to it using a transformer and it worked.

you'd think that would be the first thing you'd try,,,,,,,,,

plugging into a faulty port on the LNB would maybe have been dragging the voltage down so far the box shut off to protect itself from a dead short.
