Patriot Single Axis Inclined Orbit Tracking Wiring Procedure
 
The RC1500B’s wiring is provided by a single actuator cable which consists of two 
16-gauge wires for motor voltage and three shielded 22-gauge wires for the position 
sensor. 
 
Figure 5 – Stripped Outer Jacket
1. The first step in wiring the back of the RC1500 is to cut back the outer jacket 9
¼ inches and remove the plastic film exposing the two sub-cables.
 
2. The removal of the outer jackets will reveal two 16 gauge wires (red and black in 
color) and 3 triple shielded wires for the position sensor enclosed in a foil shield 
with a bare drain wire.
