WIRING AND CHECK-OUT
C. With the Control Unit and Rotator on the work
table, connect the cable between the Rotator
and Control Unit using the full length ofcable
that will be used in the installation.
It is
important that Terminal #I on the Rotator is
connected to Terminal #1 on the Control Unit
and so on. Attach and solder the ends
of
the
cable to the 8 pin connector supplied in the
connector parts pack Plug this connector into
the control unit when done.
NOTE: The specifications call for heavier gauge
wire on Terminal #1. Lead #1 must be heavier
gauge and less total lead resistance (see
Specifications, page 2). Wire the control to the
rotator as shown in Figure 3.
A preliminary operation check should be made prior
to installation. We recommend the following
NOTE: The CD-45-1I requires only 7 wires to
operate properly since Terminal 2 in the rotator is
unterminated. However, if an 8-wire cable is used,
the Ham IV rotator can be installed at a later time
without changing the cable or control.
If the Hy-Gain Ham IV is required, due to a larger
antenna being installed, it will only be necessary to
purchase the Ham 1V Rotator, Part Number
5137201. The control units and cable requirements
are identical, therefore, only the installation of the
heavier duty rotator will be necessary.
A. Decide the wire gauge (size) required and obtain
the number of feet of the proper cable (see Table 1).
CAUTION
Shorts between terminals or grounded leads may
damage the rotator.
B. Strip and tin 3/8" on each wire end after removing
about 4 inches of the jacket from one end of
cable. Tinning can be accomplished, after
twisting the strands together, with an ordinary
soldering iron and radio solder, being careful not
to melt the insulation. On the end to be
connected to the control unit, strip the jacket
about 2 inches and strip the insulation from each
wire end 3/8".
