The two factory-lubricated rotator units are housed in weatherproof melamine resin coated die-cast aluminum, to provide maintenance-free operation under all climatic conditions. The rotators may be mounted together on a mast, or independently with the azimuth rotator inside a tower and the elevation rotator on the must. The controller unit is a handsomely-styled desktop unit with dual meters and direction controls for azimuth, in compass direction and degrees; and elevation, from 0° to 180°. An External Control jack is provided on the rear of the controller for interfacing via D-to-A converters to an external microcomputer or other display/controller. Please read this manual carefully before installing the rotators.
