Drive Unit Installation
STEP 1 – Determine proper size number of rotator cable from chart. Three conductor cable is
suitable, but if four conductor cable is used, connect both conductors 3 and 4 to terminal 3 of the
terminal board.
Gage No. of Maximum Length
AWG MM Conductors Feet Meters
22 0,6 3 180 55
22 0,6 4* 200 61
20 0,8 3 280 85
20 0,8 4* 310 95
18 1,0 3 445 136
18 1,0 4* 510 155
*Attach 3 and 4 conductors to No. 3 terminals on control and drive.
STEP 2 – Install drive unit. On new drive units, arrow on mast support should be aligned with arrow shaped
mast stop on housing. Install drive unit with arrows pointing south. Using a short piece of mast (3 feet or
less), install the antenna to the drive unit aiming the antenna south. When desired channels are close to or
on opposite sides of the north end stops, the antenna may be installed pointing north. Note, however, that
the antenna will then be pointing in the opposite direction from that indicated on the control.
An alternative means of setting up is to perform a synchronization of the drive unit using the controller. Then
set up the antenna pointing north. Ensure power is disconnected from the controller when
making antenna adjustments.
