KENROTORKR-600RC features:
DEPENDABILITY: Rotor unit is housed in a weather-
sealed and factory-lubricated die-cast alluminum
housing with melamine-resin coating.
QUIET OPERATION: Reduction gear train with moulded
plastic pinions and die-cast spurs assures smooth
and practically silent operation
Gears in lower revolution part are surfacehardened
throughout for dependable long-life operation.
NEWLY DESIGNED CONTROLLER: Large round type meter
for direct-point direction indication.
Solid state stabilized por/üer supply in the meter
circuit provides precisely resettable direction,
independent of line voltage fluctuation.
Once set, no recheck of calibration is necessary.
MECTIANICAL END-OF-ROTATION STOPS: Rotation stops
automatically at the end of each 360o rotation.
EASY-ALIGNING MAST CLAMPS: Our new mast gauge
(pat. pending) eliminates any aligning problem.
An antenna mast of 3B-6s/ lr-2, in) in diameter
can be accomodate.
SIMPLE AIüD EASY ITIIRING: Only a screw-driver is all
that is reguired. No other tool is necessary.
Orip-proof plastic cover protects terrninal on the
rotor unit.
EASY SETTING START POSITION OF THE NEEDLE: Th€
KR-600RC can be used in any conditions of location
as starting position of indicator needle can be
freely changable as you Iike.

ELECTRICAL INTER CONNECTTON
IT IS RECOMMENDEDTHAT AN ON-THE-GROUND CHECK BE
I"IADE PRIOR TO ACTUAL INSTALI"ATION TO DISCOVER ANY
POSSIBLE WIRING ERRORS
Refering to Fig.3, slide the terminal cover to the
rotator unit over the 6 conductor cable.
Strip, twist the standard.s of each conductor and
tin them light.Iy with solder.
Inlire each conductor to each Lerminal.
The other end of the cable to be connected to the
corresponding terminals of the control unit, äs
illustrated Fig.3.
Replace the terminal cover on the rotor unit.
Plug the line cord into an AC power outlet of the
correct voltage depending on control box model.
The power switch ON and pilot lamp should fight, and
direction needle moves untill position of rotor
direction which is set up in advance and stops.
Press LEFT or LIGHT switch the needls turns to
varantaly direction and rotor rotates to same
direction.

INSTALLATION:
The KENROTOR
KR-600RC can be mounted on a mast top
of a tower or inside tower.
It is designed for use with medium-sized antennas.
The maximum load. capability of a rotator is quite
dependent on the physical size of antenna, mechanical.
installation, Iocation of your shack and wind veloci-
ty.
Illustrated in Fig. 6 and 7 are the result of our
long field experience and accurnulation of know-how.
An Antenna should be mounted as close to the rotor
as possible. Wind pressure against the antenna
produces a bending force on the mast which is
proportional to the length of the mast used- we
suggest three feet of antenna support pipe as the
practical timit.
Vteight of the antenna should be balaneed on either
side of the boom at the mast-to-boom clamp.
Balanced weight produces only axial down thrust on
the rotor and our KR-6O0RC
has the axial load rating
of as high as 440 Lbs.
Unbalanced installation results in some leverage
force which strains the mast at the clamping point
on the rotor. Great care to be given especially in
high wind areas.
