Intellitron: "Expertly Built, Economically Priced"
The Intellitron AR-600 Programmable Digital Antenna Rotator offers amateur radio enthusiasts a robust and intelligent solution for precise antenna positioning. Embodying Intellitron's commitment to "Expertly Built, Economically Priced" products, the AR-600 delivers advanced features and reliable performance, making sophisticated antenna control accessible to all hobbyists.
The AR-600 Drive Unit features a durable design for outdoor installation. It connects to your control unit using a 3-conductor cable (20AWG for up to 280 feet / 84m; thicker gauge for longer distances). Installation is straightforward, involving opening a cover, inserting the cable through a grommet, and connecting leads to terminals 1, 2, and 3, ensuring secure, short-circuit-free connections.
Mounting the drive unit is simple: attach it to a support mast (1 1/4" to 2" / 3-5cm diameter recommended) by loosening clamp nuts, resting the cast nose on the mast, and moderately tightening. For added stability, guy wires can be passed through the lower clamp's holes.
The indoor control unit is designed for ease of use and programming. After wiring the rotor cable to the connector plate, simply plug the control unit into a 120 VAC outlet (do not use 240 VAC).
