G-5500 Antenna Azimuth-Elevation Rotators & Contoroller Instruction Manual
CONTROL CABLE PREPARATION & CONNECTION
Before installing the antenna and rotators, make all connections and test rotator operation thor-
oughly on the ground as described below.
Your control cables should have six conductors each of at least #20 AWG gauge (if less than 100
feet long).
1. Assemble the cable according to the fol-
lowing diagrams.
2. Connect each wire to the terminals on the
rear panel of the controller, making sure to
match the numbers on the pins, and insert
the connector to the Jack on the rotator.
3. On the controller, make sure that the
POWER switch is in the "OFF" position,
and connect the line cord to the AC power
outlet.
4. Turn on the POWER switch. The meter
lamps should light and the ELEVATION
meter indicate to the center of the scale
(90°).
5. Press the UP switch. The elevation rota-
tor should turn as the meter indication
moves to the right. Release the UP switch
and confirm that the rotator slowly stops.
6. Repeat step 5, pressing the DOWN switch
instead of the UP switch. The elevation
rotator should turn in the opposite direc-
tion as the meter indication moves to the
left.
7. If operation does not occur as described
above, check for a wiring error in the el-
evation cable connections.
8. Press the LEFT switch. The azimuth ro-
tator should turn counterclockwise as the
meter indication moves to the left. Release
the LEFT switch and confirm that the ro-
tator slowly stops.
9. Repeat step 8, pressing the RIGHT switch
instead of the LEFT switch. The azimuth
rotator should turn clockwise as the meter
indication moves to the right.
10. If operation does not occur as described in
steps 8 and 9, check for a wiring error in
the azimuth cable connections.
11. When everything checks out in the above
steps, slide the water resist cap over the
connectors on the rotator. Remove the
cable clamps from the controller, clip them
over the cables, and screw them back onto
the controller. Then replace the two con-
troller terminal covers.
Tin the wire with solder.
Terminal 7 is not used.
Make sure to insert the
Water Resist Cap first.
