MEDIUM-DUTYANTENNA ELEVATION ROTATOR & CONTROLLER

The Yaesu G-550 provides 180° elevation control of unidirectional satellite antenna arrays under remote control from the station operating position. The factory-lubri- cated rotator unit is housed in weatherproof melamine resin coated die-cast aluminum, to provide maintenance-free operation under all climatic conditions.

The controller unit is a handsomely-styled desktop unit which indicates antenna elevation offset from zenith up to 90° in both directions.

Please read this manual carefully before installing the G-550.

If any of these items are missing or appear to be damaged, save the carton and packing material and notify the shipping company (or dealer, if purchased directly at his shop).

Before proceeding with installation, confirm that the AC voltage label on the rear of the Controller matches your local line voltage: either “117V” for 110 to 120 VAC, “220” for 220 to 240 VAC. If the labeled 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).

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. For runs of over 100 feet, use #18 AWG instead of #20 AWG.
