Radioenge – RA-S1 – Antenna Rotator System

Radioenge – RA-S1

Rotor controller
RA-S1 is a digital controller for controlling rotor azimuthal position
Features
Speed control by PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) for DC rotors

Ramp acceleration and deceleration from the speed control PWM RA-S1 accelerates and decelerates the rotor smoothly in all operating modes, increasing the useful life of the rotor and the antenna

Cruise control RA-S1 has a control with nine levels of speed determined by the SPEED pot

Point and shoot with this function can cause the RA-S1 rotate on their own to the angle chosen by the user from the POS pot. If the user has rotor overlap, this function chooses the smallest route to the chosen angle

Manual rotation control using this function it is possible to control the RA-S1 manually pressing the buttons CW (to rotate the rotor clockwise direction) and CCW (the rotor rotates anti-clockwise)

Setting offset if the antenna, for some reason, is pointing to an incorrect angle can be corrected without having to make a new calibration

Soft limits settings (limits rotation through software) these limits are used in installations with antennas located in the middle of the tower, where it is not possible to obtain a complete turn

RS232 port for serial communication (DB-9 connector) for control via computer, is used GS232A protocol Yaesu. It is compatible with all programs that have the option to communicate with a Yaesu controller

Firmware upgrade is possible to update the RA-S1 firmware through its USB port. Thus, if there is an improvement or an increase of functions, the user will be able to update the controller firmware
