INSTALLATION GUIDE
VERIFYING ROTATOR OPERATION AND PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
It is most convenient to make yourself familiar with the operation of the rotator from the comfort of
your living room, rather than after installation.
" Unpack the Drive Unit, the Controller and the Handheld Remote Control .
" Install batteries in the Remote Control.
" Connect a short piece of coaxial cable form the controller’s “ROTATOR” jack to the drive unit’s
“FROM CONTROLLER” JACK.
" Plug the controller into a 120VAC power source.
" Switch the unit on.
" Set the unit to 000 degrees by performing a “RESYNCHRONIZATION” as outlined in that section.
" Ensure that the North mark on the body is aligned with the arrow on rotating shaft (+/- 3 deg).
" Make yourself familiar with the available functions - see Remote Control Commands (Page 7).
" Return the unit to 000 degrees in preparation for installation.
