Small red light flashes on my NEQ 6 Mount

Hi' When my NEQ 6 Mount is on the move the little red light goes on and off.What i like to know is this normal.Mark

Mark,

A blinking red light normally indicates that the mount is not getting sufficient power and the voltage has dropped.

Your mount needs a minimum of 2-3A at 12V. It could be flat batteries or incorrect power adaptor.

Thanks Merlin66' For your come back, the power tank was showing power but i will put it back on charge just in case it is low.And check the power adaptor over for any breaks.Mark

I found that 12v often struggled during slewing, and upped to 13.8v and haven’t seen this since.

Hi Taff

Worth thinking about buying a basic Digital Volt Meter ( DVM ) for a fiver so you can keep an eye on the volts, particularly when slewing.
