RC3050 Antenna Controller
230 Volt Operation
The RC3000A can operate from 115VAC or 230VAC 50 – 60 HZ. A voltage switch is located in the
power entry switch. The RC3000B may be ordered in 115 or 230 VAC line voltage configurations. If 230
VAC operation is desired, 90 or 180 volt DC motors may be used for the azimuth and elevation axis
(specify motor voltage). A 12 volt motor should still be used for the polarization axis.
Physical Characteristics
The RC3000 is designed for rack mounting. The dimensions are 19" x 3.5" x 17.5" (width x height x
depth). The weight of the RC3000A is 19 lbs. The RC3000B weights 13lbs. The liquid crystal display
(LCD) used with the unit is designed for viewing from a 6 o'clock position. This means that the controller
should be mounted above eye level of the operator. An LCD module designed for a 12 o'clock viewing
angle is also available.
Cabling and Connectors
The only cables supplied with the unit are the AC line cord and the cables for the electronic compass and
the GPS receiver. All other cables must be supplied by the customer.
The following table describes the connectors on the back of the RC3000.
