Antenna Rotator

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

lPre-Installation Check and Calibration

The Hy-Gain AR-40 antenna rotator is designed

to support and rotate large TV antennas, small CB

base antennas, and small Amateur antennas. The

AR-40 is rated to rotate antennas with up to 1.5

sq. ft. of wind area when mast mounted or 3.0 sq.

ft. when mounted inside a tower.

The AR-40 rotator unit must be wired to the con-

trol unit with a 5-wire cable. Number 22 gauge 5

conductor cable will allow normal operation for

cable lengths of up to 75 feet (22.86 m). For

longer runs, use a heavier gauge wire.

The control unit must be placed inside the house

or other protected location. The maximum voltage

produced by the control unit is 18 VAC.

Before mounting the rotator unit on your mast or

tower, check the operation with the control unit

and cable. Strip all conductors at both ends of the

cable and attach to the terminals. Connect

terminal 1 to terminal 1, etc. On the control box,

simply insert the bare wire between the nut and

the terminal and tighten the screw. Do not wrap

the wire around the screw!

Plug the control unit line cord into a convenient

wall outlet. Turn the direction control knob to

"N". Momentarily press down on the start button.

The rotator will start to turn and the indicator light

will come on. When the rotator reaches "N", it

will automatically stop and the light will go off.

Control Unit-Top View with Cover

Turn the knob COUNTERCLOCKWISE to "S"

and press the start button. If the rotator unit stops

before the South position and the indicator light

turns off, adjust the "CCW end of rotation" shaft

counterclockwise as far as it will go. The adjust-

ments for end of rotation are located on the

bottom side of the control box. Turn the unit to

"W", stop, then again back to "S", using the

method as described previously. If the control

light remains on this time, slowly turn the "CCW'

shaft clockwise until the light goes off.

Turn the knob CLOCKWISE to "S" and press the

start button. The rotator unit should turn

clockwise toward the "South" position. If the

rotator stops before reaching the "South"

position and the indicator light turns off, adjust

the "CW end of rotation" shaft clockwise as far

as it will go. Turn the unit to "E", stop, then

again back to "S". If the light remains on, slowly

turn the "CW' shaft counterclockwise until the

light turns off.

Leave the rotator in the full clockwise (South)

position for installation. Disconnect the power

plug and remove the 5-wire cable from the

control unit. Note the wire colors before

removing.

WARNING:

Metal masts and towers must be placed so

that if they fall, they cannot contact power

lines, be a hazard to individuals, or

endanger property! Antennas, masts, and

towers are conductors of electricity. If the

antenna, mast or tower comes in contact

with power lines, you can be electrocuted!

Installation on Mast

Mount the rotator to the lower mast support and

then attach the support to the mast. (See Figure

3) Attach one end of the 5-wire cable to the

rotator unit terminals. the cover and grommet

must be slipped over the cable prior to attaching

it. Secure the 5-wire cable to the mast for strain-

relief. Mast guy wires may be attached to the

rotator's lower mast support. Attach the upper

mast to the rotator unit and secure. Install the

antenna on the upper mast, pointing South. The

feedline rotation loop should allow for complete

CCW rotation.

Route the 5-wire cable to the control unit and

connect as before. Check the operation of the

rotator system as in the pre-installation check

Figure 4 Mast Mounted

Rotator

of Tower Mountin

Top of tower installation is similar to mast mount-

ing. (See Figure 5) Spacer washers must be used

between the rotator bottom and tower plate. This

allows the rotator housing bolt heads to clear the

tower plate. The tower plate must be drilled in

four (4) places using the template provided with

this manual, unless already pre-drilled. A large

hole must also be drilled or cut for control cable

access.

Inside Tower Mountin

The rotator is mounted inside a tower to a flat

rotor-plate by means of four (4) bolts furnished in

the hardware kit. Locate the rotator in the tower

directly under the thrust bearing or mast guide

tube Spacer washers must be used between the

rotator bottom and rotor plate. This allows the

rotator housing bolt heads to clear the rotor plate.

The rotor plate must be drilled in four (4) places

using the template provided with this manual, un-

less already pre-drilled. A large hole must also be

drilled or cut for control cable access.

Tighten the four bolts, but not to the final tight-

ness. Observe how the rotator turns. It must rotate

the mast within the thrust bearing or guide tube

without binding. If binding occurs, either move

the rotator slightly on the rotor plate, or add

shims between the mast and the upper mast

support. The maximum O.D. of the mast is 2

1/16". After centering the mast, tighten the four

mounting bolts to the rotor plate. Install the

antenna on the upper mast, pointing South. The

feedline rotation loop should allow for complete

CCW rotation. Secure the feedline and control

cable to the tower for strain relief.

Groundin

Metal towers or masts must be grounded properly

at the tower location before the tower or mast is

erected. This is to minimize electrical hazard and

the possibility of lightning damage. Do not bury

bare aluminum wires or stakes in the ground. Use

8 foot copper-clad ground stakes and No. 10 cop-

per wire for best results.
