direction markers (not supplied) to clearly identify the antenna’s
direction (see “Channel and Direction Markers” on Page 4).

4. Attach the antenna cable to the antenna as described in your

antenna’s owner’s manual.

Routing the Cables

• If you have 75-ohm coaxial antenna cable, tape the cable directly

to the support mast.

• If you have 300 ohm twin-lead

antenna cable, attach it to the
antenna and support mast using
stand-off insulators (not included)
about every 4 feet. Twist the
cable about four times between
each insulator.

For either type of antenna cable,
make a generous loop near the drive
motor to allow full rotation of the an-
tenna.

Tape the rotator cable directly to the
support mast.

Route the antenna cable to your TV and connect it according to the in-
structions in your antenna’s owner’s manual. Route the rotator cable
from the drive motor to the control, then connect it (see “Wiring the
Control” on Page 2).

OPERATION

To rotate the antenna, turn the control’s dial to the desired direction.
While the antenna rotates, the control’s red dot moves, indicating the
direction of antenna rotation.

When the antenna reaches the selected direction, it stops.

Caution: Do not force the control’s dial past

N

in either direction. Do-

ing so might damage the control.

You can look at the control’s dial at any time to confirm the antenna’s
current direction.

Channel and Direction Markers

Rotate the antenna to find out which position provides the best signal
for each station. Use the supplied channel markers to mark these
channels on the control. Then when you want to watch a particular
channel, set the antenna rotator control to the marked setting.

Sometimes heavy winds can move the antenna, thus affecting the re-
ception of the marked channels. If this happens, loosen the clamps’
lock nuts, reposition the antenna so it points in the proper direction,
then tighten the lock nuts to secure the antenna.

Use direction markers (not supplied) to relabel the control’s direction
indicators if you pointed your antenna south instead of north. For ex-
ample, place a “North” marker over the control’s

S

(south) direction in-

dicator.
