Titanium ASC1 or ASC-1: Read This Before Buying

[el bandido]

The claimed satellite dish lifting power of the Titanium ASC1 Diseqc Positioner is Bogus!

The ASC1 is not capable of producing 36 volts at 5 amps without modifications to the power supply.
Here is one example of the bogus or fictitious claim:

Powerful
Designed with the versatility to control and power both LNBFs, LNBs, pass switch commands and generate or regenerate switching voltages, the ASC1 works on virtually any consumer or commercial system. Packed with the lifting power rated to a maximum of 38Vdc at 5amps, the ASC1 will lift any motorized dish. No other consumer motor controller even comes close to the power provided by the ASC1. The F-fitting port simultaneously provides voltage that is user set to 13/18Vdc, reversed 18/13Vdc, fixed 13Vdc or fixed 18Vdc at 450mA. Our proprietary motor control feature ramps in and out the motor speed at the beginning and end of a motor movement. This minimizes wear and tear on your dish mount and frame. The ramp also allows micro adjustments when fine-tuning the dish positioning. No more speeding past the correct motor landing and having to bump the dish back and forth into position.

On its best day, the ASC1 can only produce about 25 volts dc at 4 amps of current as measured at the back of the ASC1. Why was it decided to use a false higher power rating for the ASC1? That answer is probably simple: The heavy duty big dish actuators require 36 volts at 5 amps for maximum performance. The ASC1 can actually produce 5 amps for a very brief period of time, 5 amps on the ASC1 only has about 20 volts dc coming from the power supply, so the energy or power level at 5 amps (100 watts) on the ASC1 is about the same as 4 amps (100 watts) on the ASC1.

The ASC1 would have been a great product had it actually been able to produce the power of 36 volts dc at 5 amps. But with the dc power supply it has, the satellite dish lifting performance of the ASC1 is equal to or not much better than the VBox line of positioners.

Anyone that has purchased the ASC1 thinking it could produce the power of 36 volts dc at 5 amps has been duped! EB
