7、1 If any of these items are missing or appear to be damaged, save the carton and packing ma- terial and notify the shipping company (or dealer, if purchased directly at his shop). Before proceeding with installation, confirm that the AC voltage label on the rear of the Controller matches your local

8、line voltage: ei- ther “117V” for 110 to 120 VAC, or “220” for 220 to 240 VAC. If the labeled voltage range does not match, return the controller to the dealer from whom you purchased it (different power transformers are installed for the differ- ent voltage ranges). Note that cable is not included

9、with the rotator, as the length must be determined case-by-case. Contact your Yaesu dealer to obtain the length of cable your installation requires. For runs of over 100 feet, use #18 AWG instead of #20 AWG. PAGE 3 G-5500 Antenna Azimuth-Elevation Rotators & Contoroller Instruction Manual CONTROL CA

10、BLE PREPARATION & CONNECTION Before installing the antenna and rotators, make all connections and test rotator operation thor- oughly on the ground as described below. Your control cables should have six conductors each of at least #20 AWG gauge (if less than 100 feet long). 1.Assemble the cable acc

11、ording to the fol- lowing diagrams. 2.Connect each wire to the terminals on the rear panel of the controller, making sure to match the numbers on the pins, and insert the connector to the Jack on the rotator. 3.On the controller, make sure that the POWER switch is in the “OFF” position, and connect

12、the line cord to the AC power outlet. 4.Turn on the POWER switch. The meter lamps should light and the ELEVATION meter indicate to the center of the scale (90). 5.Press the UP switch. The elevation rota- tor should turn as the meter indication moves to the right. Release the UP switch and confirm th

13、at the rotator slowly stops. 6.Repeat step 5, pressing the DOWN switch instead of the UP switch. The elevation rotator should turn in the opposite direc- tion as the meter indication moves to the left. 7.If operation does not occur as described above, check for a wiring error in the el- evation cabl

14、e connections. 8.Press the LEFT switch. The azimuth ro- tator should turn counterclockwise as the meter indication moves to the left. Release the LEFT switch and confirm that the ro- tator slowly stops. 9.Repeat step 8, pressing the RIGHT switch instead of the LEFT switch. The azimuth rotator should

15、 turn clockwise as the meter indication moves to the right. 10. If operation does not occur as described in steps 8 and 9, check for a wiring error in the azimuth cable connections. 11. When everything checks out in the above steps, slide the water resist cap over the connectors on the rotator. Remo

16、ve the cable clamps from the controller, clip them over the cables, and screw them back onto the controller. Then replace the two con- troller terminal covers. Make sure to insert the Water Resist Cap first. Tin the wire with solder. Terminal 7 is not used. PAGE 4 G-5500 Antenna Azimuth-Elevation Ro

17、tators & Contoroller Instruction Manual PRE-INSTALLATION ADJUSTMENT Switch the controller off and adjust the 0. ADJ screws beneath each meter face, if necessary, so that each meter points to the left edge of the scale. Then turn the controller back on for the following steps. Azimuth Indicator Press

18、 and hold the LEFT switch and allow the azimuth rotator to turn until it reaches its end stop. Note the precise position of the rotator (mark the housing, if necessary), and then press and hold the RIGHT switch to bring the rota- tor around one full turn to exactly the same po- sition. The meter sho

19、uld now point precisely to 360 of the scale. If not, adjust the FULL SCALE ADJ potentiometer at the upper cor- ner of the rear panel above the AZIMUTH ter- minals. Press the RIGHT switch again to continue clockwise rotation until the rotator reaches its end-stop. The indicator should now point to ri

20、ght edge (90) of the scale. Elevation Indicator Press the UP switch to align the 180 markers on the rotator. The meter should now point precisely to 180 at the right end of the scale. If not, adjust the FULL SCALE ADJ potenti- ometer at the upper corner of the rear panel above the ELEVATION terminal

21、s. Notes on Controller Operation: ? The rotator motors are rated for five-min- utes intermittent duty. However, they be brought to rest for at least 15 minutes after- wards. ? If both UP and DOWN switches or RIGHT and LEFT switches are pressed at the same time, the corresponding rotator turns up or

22、right (clockwise). ? Release the switch when the meter indicates in the end zones (the rotator stops). ? Remember to turn the controller off when the rotators are not in use.

25、to 200mA Common ground PAGE 6 G-5500 Antenna Azimuth-Elevation Rotators & Contoroller Instruction Manual ROTATOR INSTALLATION The maximum safe load of the G-5500 depends on the physical size of the antenna, method and quality of mechanical installation, and maxi- mum wind velocity at the installatio

26、n site. Notice that the preferred mounting method re- quires that each antenna be attached to the boom at its center of gravity, with the boom then attached to the elevation rotator at its cen- ter of gravity. This minimizes stress on the rotator and supporting structure, especially during strong wi

27、nds. The azimuth rotator may be mounted at the top of the mast together with the elevation rotator, or separately inside of a supporting tower. The latter method is generally stronger, and prefer- able in high wind locations or for large anten- nas, but requires some additional hardware not supplied

28、 with the G-5500 kits. Mounting the Rotators Together NOTE: If the elevation rotator is to be mounted on the mast alone, skip this section and see “Mounting the Rotators Separately”. 1.Bolt the U-bracket to the top of the azi- muth rotator using four M8x16 bolts, spring washers and flat washers. 2.I

29、nsert the elevation rotator into the U- bracket, then fasten the elevation rotator using four M8x25 bolts, spring washers and flat washers.

You will need four long stud bolts and four additional pipe clamps (available from your dealer). 1.Slip an 8 mm spring washer over

31、 the short- thread end of each stud bolt (x4), and screw the stud bolts firmly into holes in the side of the elevation rotator. 2.Slip an 8 mm flat washer over each in- stalled stud bolt, and then the pipe clamps. Place another flat washer and then a spring washer over the end of each stud bolt, and

32、 start a nut on each to hold the hardware in place. Installing the boom in the Elevation Rotator. Do these steps for all installations. 1.Slide the boom through the rotator. 2.Place one U-bolt over each arm of the ro- tator, and assemble one pipe clamp, flat washers, spring washers and nuts on the U

33、-bolts. Center the boom carefully, and alternately tighten the nuts on each U-bolt -turn beyond the point where the spring washers are flattened. Be sure to leave enough slack in both the el- evation control cable and the coaxial cable feedline around the azimuth rotator so the an- tenna can rotate

34、450 without straining the cable or feedline. For dual parallel arrays, feedlines should be taped to the boom on either side of the rotator, with enough slack left to allow 180 rotation without stressing the feedlines.

35、Mast Bracket Attachment in the Azimuth Rotator & Antenna Positioning Important! Before mounting the mast to the azimuth rotator, a single hole must be drilled through the bottom of the mast to accommo- date an anti-twist support bolt used in the base support bracket halves: 1.Drill a 9 mm diameter h

36、ole through both walls of the mast, centered 50 mm from the mast bottom (see Figure 1). Ensure the drill is maintained perpendicular and cen- tered when making the hole, to ensure proper alignment of the holes in the mast and those in the base support clamp. 2.Referring to Figure 2, loosely fasten t

37、he mast bracket halves to the rotator hous- ing using four M8x25 bolts , flat wash- ers and spring washers. 3.Insert the mast into the bracket, and fin- ger-tighten the four M8x70 bolts with spring washers and nuts . Note that one side of the bracket has ridges on either side of the bolt holes: the

38、bolts should be in- serted from this side, so the ridges hold the bolt head from turning. 4.Finger-tighten the M8x95 socket bolt with nut . 5.With the rotator connected, set the control- ler so that it indicates precisely 0 (North). Then, using an accurate map and known landmarks, position the anten

39、na (without using the controller) so that it points to true North. Alternatively, consult a Geodetic Survey map for your area to determine the MAST 9 50mm Figure 1 Figure 2 MAST Magnetic Deviation at your location, and then use a compass to position the antenna so that it points to true North (Magne

40、tic North + Magnetic Deviation). Be careful not to disturb the antenna direction when tightening the mast bracket in the next step. 6.When you are satisfied with the orienta- tion of the antenna, center the mast on the top of the azimuth rotator, and begin tight- ening the M8x25 bolts on each side a

41、l- ternately so that the gap on each side of the mast remains the same. Markings are provided on the top of the azimuth rotator to assist this process. 7.Confirm that the mast and bracket are pre- cisely centered on the azimuth rotator, and tighten the four bolts affixing the mast bracket to the top

42、 of the azimuth rotator. Warning ! H Take care not overtighten the four bracket bolts. Do not torque the bolts beyond the point where the spring washer flattens. H The azimuth rotator is designed for ver- tical mounting only. One half of the housing is marked “TOP SIDE”. Wa- ter and contaminants will damage the motor unit if it is mounted horizontally or upside-down. G-5500 Schematic Diagram Copyright 1998 Yaesu Musen Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.
