G-5500 Antenna Azimuth-Elevation Rotators & Contoroller Instruction Manual
YAESU G- 5500
ANTENNA AZIMUTH-ELEVATION
ROTATORS & CONTROLLER
The Yaesu G-5500 provide 450° azimuth and 180° elevation control of medium- and large-size
unidirectional satellite antenna arrays under remote control from the station operating position.
The two factory-lubricated rotator units are housed in weatherproof melamine resin coated die-cast
aluminum, to provide maintenance-free operation under all climatic conditions. The rotators may
be mounted together on a mast, or independently with the azimuth rotator inside a tower and the
elevation rotator on the must.
The controller unit is a handsomely-styled desktop unit with dual meters and direction controls for
azimuth, in compass direction and degrees; and elevation, from 0° to 180°. An External Control
jack is provided on the rear of the controller for interfacing via D-to-A converters to an external
microcomputer or other display/controller.
Please read this manual carefully before installing the rotators.
