save
the
carton

material
and notify
the
shipping company (or

Before
proceeding
with installation, confirm
that
the
AC
voltage
label
on the
rear
of
the
Controller
matches
your
local line voltage:
either
"l
l 7V" for 110 to 120 V AC,
or
"220" for 220 to 240 V
AC.
If the
labelled
voltage
range
does
not
match,
return
the
controller
to
the
dealer
from whom you
purchased
it
(different
power
transformers
are
installed
for
the
different
voltage
ranges).
*
**
if
your
installation
requires
two
mast
clamps you
can
purchase
the
second
clamp (Yaesu mode! GC-048) from
your
Yaesu

Note
that
cable
is not
included
with
the
rotator,
as
the
length
must be
determined
case-by-case.
Contact
your
Yaesu
dealer
to
obtain
the length
of
cable
your
installation
requires.

CONTROL
CABLE
PREPARATION & CONNECTION
Before
installing
the
antenna
and
rotator,
make
ail
connections
and
test
rotator
operation
thoroughly on
the
ground.
Your
control
cable
should
have
eight
conductors
which should be
at
least # 18
gauge.
(1)
Slide
the
socket
cap
and shell
of
the
supplied
cable
plug
-
over
the
rotator
end
of
the
cable,
and far enough to allow
dressing
the
end
of
the
cable.
(2)
Using
special
care
to
avoid
nicking
the
insulation
of
the
individual
wires,
strip
back
15mm
of
the
outer
jacket
of
the
cable
from
the
rotator
end,
and
then
strip
5mm
of
insu-
lation
from
each
wire.
(3)
Solder
the
wires
to
the
plug terminais, noting
the
color
of
the
wire
and
number
of
each
terminal
for
reference
la
ter.
Confirm
that
ail
solder
joints
are
good and
clean,
as this
part
of
the
cable
will
be
difficult
to
access
after
installation.
Don't
slide
the
shell
on
yet.
(4)
At
the
controller
end
of
the
cable,
strip
back
5cm
of
the
outer
jacket,
and
then
strip
l 5mm
of
insulation
from
each
wire.
