Aerial winding

Gambit · 18th August 2009, 04:27 PM

My electric aerial started playing up today. It will extend to it's max then the gear will keep going for about 10 seconds as the ariel is at max the gear is no longer in contact with anything and so it makes a horendous free wheeling noise.
When you switch off and it retracts you get 1 second of free wheeling and noise then the gears connect and the aerial goes down normally.

Question: Is there a sensor or something that tells the winding gear when the aerial is fully extended and that it should shut down?
