Antenna Rotator

Post by Farty »

I've acquired a Kenpro KR-400RC antenna rotator and control unit. It all seems in good order, though there's a slight crack in one of the clamps for the rotator itself.

I can get the crack sorted east enough, but does anyone have a wiring diagram or instructions for the wiring between controller and motor? Or indeed, any other advice or useful info?

I'm not sure what to do with It yet, but before I either use it or sell it I want to refurbish it and check it functions properly.

Cheers,

Farty.

round controller ?? square controller
the terminals are numbered 1 to 6 so wire 1 to 1 etc
for the round controller you dont connect no1
wire it 2 to 2 etc
Dont worry what class of licence he holds, worry what class of bias he applies to the amplifier !
