7. Ventilation
Your control is provided with ventilation openings to allow heat
generated during operation to be released. If these openings
are blocked, heat build-up can cause failure of the control and
external damage. Therefore:
•
Never block the ventilation slots by placing it on a bed, sofa,
rug, etc.
•
Never place in a “built-in” enclosure unless proper ventilation
is provided.
•
Never cover the openings with cloth or materiel.
•
Never place near or over radiators, heat registers, amplifers,
or other heat sources.
8. Grounding or Polarization
Your control may be equipped with a polarized AC line plug (one
blade of the plug is wider than the other). This safety feature
allows the plug to ft into the power outlet only one way. Should
you be unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing
the plug. Should it still fail to ft, contact your electrician to replace
your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug.
9. Power sources
Operate the control only from an A.C. power source as indicated
on the bottom of the control. Do not use D.C.
10. Overloading
Overloaded AC outlets and extension cords are dangerous, and
so are frayed power cords and broken plugs. They may result in
a shock or fre hazard. Unplug the control and call your service
technician for replacement.
11. Power Cord Protection
Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the power cord, and
do not place the control where power cord is subject to traffc or
abuse. Pay particular attention to the cord at the plug and the point
where it exists from the control unit. This may result in a shock or
fre hazard.
12. Object and Liquid Entry
All individuals, especially children, should be cautioned about
dropping or pushing objects into any openings. Some internal
parts carry hazardous voltages and contact can result in electrical
shock. Objects dropped into the control may also result in a fre
hazard.
13. Water and Moisture
Never expose the control to rain or water. If the control becomes
damp or wet, or if liquids are spilled into it, unplug the control
automatically switches off 5 seconds after it is initially plugged in or
after a power glitch. and have it inspected by a service technician
before further use. Liquids, rain or excessive moisture may cause
electrical shorts which can result in fre or shock hazards. Never
operate the control near water, such as a swimming pool, etc. or
near a bathtub, sink, laundry tub, or in a wet basement.
14. Cleaning
Unplug the control before cleaning. Use a slightly damp (not wet)
cloth. Do not use an aerosol directly on the control since it may
over spray and cause electrical shock.
15. Performance Change
Whenever the unit exhibits distinct change on performance, unplug
the control and call your dealer or service technician.
16. Servicing
Any attempt to dissemble the control or drive portions of the unit
may expose you to high voltage or other hazards. Observe all
cautionary labels, warnings and safeguards.
17. Damage Requiring Service
If the control has been dropped or the case has been damaged,
fre, and shock hazard may exist. Unplug the control and have it
checked by a service technician before use.
18. Replacement Parts
When replacements parts are required, have the service
technician verify that the replacements used have the same safety
characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutions
may result in a risk of fre or electric shock, or other risks.
19. Safety Check
Upon completion of any service or repairs to the unit, please
ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks to
determine that the unit is in a safe operating condition.
20. Lightning
For added protection of the control during a lightning storm or
when control is to be left unattended for an extended period of
time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the rotator
cable. This will prevent possible shock, fre hazard and damage to
the control due to lightning storms or power line surges.
21. Rooftop Installation
Always use extreme caution when installing a rooftop antenna
and rotator system to reduce the risk of falls. Wear rubber-soled
shoes and use a sturdy ladder. Do not install on a windy day or
when the roof is wet or is covered with ice or snow.
ROTATOR INSTALLATION
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 on the drive
and control.

guía.
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 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.
See
Fig 1
and

.
*Mount antenna as close to rotor as possible. use no more than 3 feet of mast in
top of drive unit.
