During installation, a personal computer with a serial port and terminal software is required to calibrate trimmers on the Controller and on the Control Interface. Any simple in- teractive terminal program can be used - it only has to trans- mit keystrokes as typed, and display characters received from the GS-232A. - Page 7 G-5400B/-5600B Az-E Rotator r Connect the supplied DC cable to a source of 12 VDC. The red lead connects to the Positive (+) DC terminal, and the black lead connects to the Negative ( –) DC t e r mi n a l . The GS-232A requires 110 mA.
