INTERNAL VIEW AND PARTICULAR DETAILS OF SOME CONSTRUCTION DETAILS:
WHICH MODELS CAN IT BE COMPARED WITH?
Theoretically with those listed below, but in fact it is superior to them.
The OR2800, G2800 and PST61D rotators have been tested and compared by the US Navy.
The PST61D was the only one that passed the heavy tests, proving suitable for their needs.
- Orion OR2800
- Yaesu G2800
New control box D
This new control box is fully configurable and controllable from a computer via RS232.
The list of new functions is so long that it requires a specific page
THE FRONT PANEL AND MANUAL CONTROLS:
On the front panel, in addition to the power on, we find the two CW and CCW paddle buttons and the preset knob.
A few words about the preset:
It is made with a rotary encoder, allowing you to pre-set any direction in the 0-360 degree range by simply rotating the knob.
The moment you turn the knob, the display automatically shows the preset position. Once the desired position is reached, by stopping the rotation of the preset, after 3 seconds the rotator starts automatically and the display returns to show the actual position of the rotator until the preset position is reached. In the 3 seconds between setting the preset and its execution, you can change or re-set a new position. The preset command can be cancelled at any time by simply pressing one of the paddles for an instant.
FUNCTIONS AND PERFORMANCE:
(the list refers to the most important functions and is accompanied by a brief description)
- Manually and RS232 configurable functions:
- North Stop - South Stop (South Stop is default, can be changed with dip-switch or via software)
- Soft Start and Soft Stop (Start and stop occur gradually with a 10-degree ramp. It can be included or excluded with the dip-switch or via software, the ramp can be programmed via software)
- Rotation range 360° or 500° (selectable by dip-switch), 500° is the default value, in this case there are 70° of extra travel on both sides. The rotation range can be programmed by software, between 1 and 500° by resetting the start and end of travel values)
Functions configurable or programmable only via RS232:
Reverse delay (prevents immediate reversal of direction, 3 seconds default, programmable)
