Antenna Grounding and Safety Warning
1. Outdoor antennas and lead-in conductors from antenna to a building, should
not cross over open conductors of electric light of power circuits.They should
be kept away from all circuits to avoid the possibility of accidental contact.
2. Each conductor of a lead-in from an outdoor antenna should be connected
with an antenna discharge unit. Antenna discharge units (or Lightning
Arrestors) should be located outside the building or inside the building
between the point of entrance of the lead-in and the TV, and as near as practical to the entrance of the conductors to the building.
Product Description
The rotator is designed to turn and accurately position even large antennas,
allowing best possible reception. Rotation of the rotator unit is synchronized
with commands from the indoor control unit to automatically go to up to 12 different memorized positions or any direction chosen manually.The connecting
cable between the control unit and the rotator unit carries only safe, low voltage power.When the operating command sequence is finished, the unit shuts off
automatically and draws no current until activated by a remote or manual command to the control unit.

– While you are still on the ground and before mounting the rotator unit to
the support mast, temporarily connect the rotator unit to the control unit with
the control cable and perform the alignment (and basic system check) by following Steps 2 and 5 and 8 below.

Step 1 - Rotator Unit Mounting
If not mounting the rotator unit inside a tower, attach the the rotator unit to
the support mast by loosening the nuts enough to slide the clamps over the
mast. Lower the rotator unit until the cast nose of the drive housing sits on top
of the suppor
7/16” wrench will cause the teeth of the clamp to grip the mast securely. DO
NOT over-tighten to the point that you deform the mast, as this will reduce its
strength.
Mast Diameters of 1 1/4” to 2” (3-5cm) may be used.The 1 1/2” (3.8 cm) size
or larger is recommended for un-guyed mast over 6’ long or where large antennas are used. If guy wires are used, fasten two through each of the two holes of
the lower clamp.

Step 2 - Rotator Unit (Rotator) Connection
Up to 280’ of 20 AWG 3 conductor cable may be used. For longer runs use heavier gauge wire.To attach cable to rotator unit, open the bottom cover using a
screwdriver. Remove the grommet and insert the cable through the slot. Press
the grommet back into the slot. Separate leads 1 1/4” and strip off 1/2” insulation. Find the silver (or wide jacketed lead) and connect it to terminal 1. Connect
the adjacent lead to terminal 2 and the next lead to terminal 3. If 4 wire cable is
used connect both wire 3 and 4 to terminal 3. Make sure there are no loose
strands which can short between terminals. Recheck the wiring order and then
ely close the bottom cover. To avoid moisture collecting in the cable, be
