1、G-800SA G-1000SA Antenna Rotator once a rotator is mounted, however, troubleshooting may require that the tower be climbed and/or the rotator be removed and lowered to the ground! CONTROL CABLE PREPARATION Control Cable Installation In this Rotator, the user must supply and prepare the control cable

2、, per the simple instructions below. The control cable to be used should have six stranded conductors of at least 0.5 mm (#20 AWG) diameter if the cable is shorter than 40 m in length (125); if the cable is longer than 40 m, use conductors with a diam- eter of 0.75 mm (#18 AWG) or larger. 1.Disassem

3、ble the supplied round plug: slide off the rubber boot, remove the setscrew from the shell us- ing a small screwdriver, then unscrew the shell from the plug. Save the setscrew in a safe place until step 10, so you dont lose it. 2.Slide the rubber boot and the round shell over the “rotator” end of th

4、e cable. Leave enough cable pro- truding to allow easy dressing the end of the cable. 3.Using special care to avoid nicking the insulation of the individual wires, strip back 15 mm (about 5/8”) of the outer jacket of the cable from both ends. Now strip 5 mm (about 3/16”) of insulation from each wire

5、, being careful not to nick the conductors. 4.Solder the wires to the round plug pins, noting the color of the wire and the number associated with each pin for reference later. Pin 7 of the round con- nector is not used! Confirm that all solder joints are firm and cleanly made, as this part of the c

6、able will be difficult to access once the rotator is installed on top of the tower. Do not slide the shell onto the con- nector at this time. 5.Crimp the supplied pin contacts onto the wires on the opposite end of the cable, per the illustration below. 6.Referring to your notes of the wire color at

7、each pin of the round (rotator end) connector, insert the pins into the rectangular plug at the opposite (controller) end of the cable. Be sure that each wire from the round connector is routed to the corresponding pin number in the rectangular connector (i.e. 1 to 1, 2 to 2, etc.). 7.Temporarily co

8、nnect the round plug to the rotator, and the rectangular plug to the controller. Make sure that the POWER switch on the controller is set to “OFF,” then plug the controllers AC cable into your stations AC outlet. 8.Set the controllers POWER switch to “ON.” Verify that the controllers pilot lights ha

9、ve become illumi- nated. 9.Press the LEFT (rotation) side of the seesaw switch, and confirm that the rotator (when viewed from the top) and the controllers needle turn counter-clock- wise together. Stop rotation, then press the RIGHT (rotation) side of the seesaw switch, and confirm that the rotator

10、 and indicator needle turn clockwise. If rotation does not occur as indicated, turn the POWER switch “OFF,” and re-check your cable connections. 10. If the rotator and controller are working as described, replace the plug shells, setscrew, and rubber boot (removed in step 1). Assembly of 6-pin Plast

12、d to verify the amount of rotation in the next step. 8.Press the RIGHT (rotation) side of the seesaw switch, and continue rotating to the right until the calibra- tion marks (from step 7) are again precisely aligned. Now check the indicator needle, which should also have rotated fully 360 so as to b

13、e pointing exactly to 180. If the indicator needle is not pointing exactly to 180, go to the rear panel of the controller, and use a small screwdriver to adjust the FULL SCALE ADJ po- tentiometer (see the drawing to the right) so that the indicator needle points exactly to 180. 9.Press the RIGHT swi

14、tch again, and continue rota- tion to the right. You should observe the OVER- LAP LED becoming illuminated as rotation passes the 180 point. If the OVERLAP LED does not light up at the 180 position, the OVERLAP LED ADJ potentiometer (on the rear panel of the controller) may be used to align the illu

15、mination threshold to the 180 point. 10. Check to verify that rotation automatically stops at approximately 270 (West; representing a total ro- tation range of 450 from the original starting point). 11. Press the LEFT and RIGHT (rotation) switches a few more times, verifying that rotation appears to

16、 be normal. If so, press the LEFT or RIGHT (rota- tion) switch to set the rotator to 270 (West). 12. Set the SELECT SWITCH on the rear panel to the left (OPERATION MODE) position, and turn the POWER switch “OFF.” 13. This completes the ground-based testing of the ro- tator and controller. Mounting t

17、he Rotator and Antenna 1.Temporarily connect the control cable between the rotator unit and the controller. 2.Set the SELECT SWITCH on the rear panel to the right (ADJ. MODE) position. 3.Check to be sure that the POWER switch on the controller is set to “OFF,” then plug the controllers AC cable into

18、 your stations AC outlet. 4.Set the controllers POWER switch to “ON.” The pilot lamps on the controller should become illumi- nated, and the meter needle on the controller may rotate so as to align itself with the current position of the rotator (remember the two units have not been aligned with eac

19、h other). 5.Press the LEFT (rotation) side of the seesaw switch, and continue to hold it until the rotator reaches the counter-clockwise position where it automatically stops (“Left” represents counter-clockwise rotation when the rotator is viewed from the top). 6.When the rotator has reached the le

20、ft “stop” posi- tion, release the LEFT switch, and check to see if the controllers indicator needle is pointing to 180 (S: South). If the indicator needle is out of alignment, grasp the edge of the bezel around the bearing window, turn it 10 counter-clockwise, and pull it off. Then, grasp the needle

21、 at its center and pull it straight off, re- place the needle to 180 (straight down), and replace the bezel. 7.Just above the round connector jack on the rotator unit, you will observe two raised calibration marks (one each on the “rotating” bell and “fixed” base of the rotator). These two marks sho

22、uld be directly aligned with each other. If not, place a small piece of masking tape on the rotating bell and the fixed Controller Rear Panel G-800SA/G-1000SA User ManualPage 7 Mounting the Rotator and Antenna Bezel Azimuth Indicator Needle Dial Heading Sheet INSTALLING THE DIAL HEADING SHEET A clea

23、r plastic round dial heading sheet is provided with the kit, which can be installed with north at any position you desire. This is particularly useful when you need to have south at the top of the dial (or east or west) instead of north. To install the heading scale: ?Turn on the POWER switch and pr

24、ess the seesaw switch to set the indicator needle to 180 (straight down), then turn off the POWER switch. ?Grasp the edge of the bezel around the bearing window, turn it 10 counter-clockwise, and pull it off. ?Note the position of the needle, then grasp it at its center, and pull it straight off. ?D

25、etermine which compass direction you desire to be upmost, and install the compass heading label sheet against the azi- muth scale, so that the small teeth in the edges of the sheet lock around the edge. ?Replace the needle and bezel in the same direction as they were before (see diagram at the right

26、). G-800SA/G-1000SA User ManualPage 8 Important! Before mounting the mast to the rotator, a single hole must be drilled through the bottom of the mast to accommodate an anti-twist support bolt used in the base support clamp halves. 1.Drill a 9 mm diameter hole through both walls of the mast, centere

27、d 50 mm from the mast bottom (see Figure 1). Ensure the drill is maintained perpendicu- lar and centered when making the holes, to ensure proper alignment of the holes in the mast with those in the base support clamp. 2.Attach the rotator to the towers rotator mounting plate, using the supplied M8 x

28、 16 bolts and spring washers. It is recommended that the tips of the bolts be lightly dipped in lubricating grease, to ease dis- assembly in the future (see Figure 2). 3.If a thrust bearing (such as the optional Yaesu model GS-065) is to be utilized, mount it on the top of the tower (see Figure 3) u

29、sing the supplied hardware. 4.Partly tighten the mast clamp ? to the rotator hous- ing using the supplied M8 x 25 bolts ?, spring washers and flat washers (see Figure 5). 5.Using a “gin pole” or other raising fixture, insert the antenna mast through the bearing from above, and set the mast in the ro

30、tators mast clamps, then partly tighten the mast clamps using the supplied M8 x 70 bolts ? and spring washer. One side of the clamp has ridges on either side of the bolt holes; the bolts should be inserted from this side, so the ridges hold the bolt head from turning. 6.Pass the supplied M8 x 95 scr

31、ew ? through the mast clamps and through the mast, then partly tighten it using the supplied square nut ?. 7.Partly tighten the thrust bearings mast bolts, so as to center the mast in the thrust bearing. When you are satisfied that the mast is centered, tighten the thrust bearings mast bolts to secu

32、re the mast in place. 8.Now tighten all the nuts of the mast clamp except for the square nut holding the M8 x 95 bolt through the mast clamps and mast. Leave the square nut only lightly secured at this time. Do not over-tighten the nuts on the mast clamps. They should be tight- ened until the spring

33、 washer becomes flat, then tight- ened further by to one turn maximum. 9.Install the rotator control cables round plug into the jack on the side of the rotators base, and tighten the connector ring to secure the connector. Slide the rub- ber boot over the connector; while putting a slight amount of

34、inward pressure on the rubber boot, use electrical tape to secure the back end of the rubber boot to the cable. This slight inward pressure on the rubber boot will enhance the weatherproofing of the installation. Secure the control cable to the tower in several places, using electrical tape and/or U

35、V-re- sistant cable ties. 10. Get a ground crew member to set the controller to 180 (South), which corresponds to 180 of rota- tion clockwise from the left “stop” point. During ro- tation, watch the M8 x 95 bolt to be sure it does not bind between the mast and the mast clamps. If bind- ing is observ

36、ed, stop rotation and make slight ad- justments to the thrust bearing and/or mast clamps, so as to eliminate the binding. If the M8 x 95 bolt is not binding, you can go ahead and tighten the square nut securely. 11. Provide sufficient slack in the coaxial cable such that the antenna can rotate over

37、its full 450 range without putting any tension on the coax (see Figure 8). Secure the coax to the tower, using electrical tape and/or UV-resistant cable ties. 12. Installation is now complete. If you have scratched through the melamine coating of the rotator during installation, you may wish to appl

38、y several coats of clear acrylic spray to help protect the bare metal from corrosion. After installation is complete, test the sys- tem by operating the rotator through the entire range of its rotation. It is helpful to do so with the help of an observer, so that rotation can be stopped if some obst

39、ruction, binding, or tension on the coaxial cables turning loop should be encountered during the per- formance test. Installation Note If using a roof tower with a long mast between the top of the tower and the antenna, the use of a “Guy Bearing” is highly recommended. The Yaesu GS-050 and GS-065 in

40、clude guying “ears” which allow attachment of guy cables. As installing a guying system may cause the center- lines of the guy bearing and the rotator to become mis-aligned, be certain to check the roof tower attachment and guy cable alignment to ensure that the mast is straight.
