Antennas Direct ROTR100 - Manual (Page 6)

DELETING A SINGLE STORED LOCATION
" For example to delete stored location “07”, press “DELETE; 07; DELETE”.
" The display will then count down “5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0”. During that countdown you have chance to
cancel the command by pressing ESCape.
DELETING ALL STORED LOCATIONS
" To delete all stored locations, press “DELETE; 00, DELETE”.
" The display will then count down “10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0”. During that countdown you have
chance to cancel the command by pressing ESCape.
TOTAL RESET COMMAND
" In the highly unlikely event that the software becomes “locked-up”, it is possible to reset all data in
the unit's memories. This is achieved by pressing “DELETE; 00; STORE”.
" The display will then count down “10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0”. During that countdown you have
chance to cancel the command by pressing ESCape.
" After this command, it will be necessary to set up and store all desired locations.
RESYNCHRONIZATION
" This is performed when the antenna is first installed. Normally, further resynchronization is not
needed. However, in the most severe conditions of wind and heavy loading it may become necessary.
" Resynchronization is achieved by pressing “STORE; 00; STORE”.
" The display will then count down “10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0”. During that countdown you have
chance to cancel the command by pressing ESCape.
" The rotator performs a synchronization sequence, then turns to 000.
ESCape KEY
" For command involving multiple button presses, if the ESCape key is pressed before the final key
press, previous keyed inputs are cancelled.
" A rotation to either a preset location or a digital compass location may be cancelled during the
rotation by pressing the ESCape key. The display will then show the digital compass angle location.
NOTES
INITIAL POWERING
When the rotator is first powered, it may turn immediately. This action is caused by a power interruption
after the previous command, but before it is completed. This is to keep the antenna position synchronized
with the position displayed on the controller.
DISPLAY BLINKING
When the rotator is turning (display is blinking), the system will not process commands entered though the
controller except for an ESCape command to stop the rotation.
COAX CABLE TYPE
Do not use coax cable with a copper covered steel center conductor as it has approximately three times
the DC resistance of coax with solid copper center conductor.
AUTOMATIC PRE-AMPLIFIER POWER
If a DC short is present or if maximum pre-amplfier current is exceeded the pre-amplifier power will
automatically switch off. To restore pre-amplifier power, perform a “hard reset” (unplug and plug it back
in).
GROUNDING
In order to provide increased immunity against lightning related static and surge conditions, the coax cable
may pass through a well specified grounding block at the entrance to the house/building. The grounding
block case is closely connected to a nearby ground rod.
Follow the antenna manufacturer's instructions and local electrical codes.
