Installation

Wiring Connections

The rotator unit must be wired to the control unit with 4-wire cable. The gauge of the 4-wire cable to connect the control unit to the rotator depends upon

the distance between rotator and controller. The wire for the impulse

sensing may be quite thin - #22 or similar, even for relatively long distances.

Length	Gauge Motor
10 m (32')	#18 (1.19 mm)
30 m (100')	#16 (1.42 mm)
60 m (200')	#14 (1.75 mm)
			CAUTION!:
		Do not accidentally switch
		the motor wires with the
		impulse wires. Damage to
		the control unit may occur!

Remove cover from the motor body as shown and make connections as follows:

1 Motor Drive to 1 on controller terminal

2 Motor Drive to 2 on controller terminal

3 Impulse Sense to 3 on controller terminal

4 Impulse Sense to 4 on controller terminal
