Installing and Programming
the Indoor Control Unit
Step 1: Set up to the control unit
1. Determine the length of cable needed to run between
the outdoor and indoor units. Cut the cable to that
length.
2. Strip about 1/2” of the jacket off the end of each wire.
3. Insert each bare wire into the connector plate on the
control unit’s back panel as shown below.
4. Release jacket to secure on connector.
IMPORTANT: The unit must be wired correctly.
Damage can result from improper wiring.
5. Plug power cord of the control unit into an AC outlet.
6. Turn on the unit by putting the switch on the right
side of the control unit in the on position.
The
MEMORY
display on the front panel reads 0,
and the DEGREE X 10 display reads 00.

3 wire (green) #3 to #3
2 wire (black) #2 to #2
1 wire (red) #1 to #1
7. Attach the lead-in cable to the support mast
with cable tie/stand-off insulators (not included)
approximately every four feet.
8. Tape the rotator control cable directly to the support
mast.
Step 3: Install the antenna/cable
1. Insert the 2 U-bolts through the back of the rotor
section of the drive unit.
2. Place the remaining 2 brackets over the ends of the
U-bolts.
3. Put a washer and nut on the very end of the U-bolts
to keep the brackets in place.
4. Position the brackets and nuts/washers so that they
leave just enough room for the antenna mast to go
through.
Note: Use no more than 3 feet of antenna mast between
the rotor and the antenna itself.
5. Lower the antenna mast between the brackets and the
rotor. Tighten the nuts. Moderate tightening with a
10mm or adjustable wrench will cause the teeth to
grip the mast securely.

6. After connecting the antenna lead-in cable to the
antenna, fasten it to the antenna mast using cable tie/
stand-off insulators or electrical tape (not included) as
shown. Provide a generous loop at the drive unit.
