  • Patent number: 4496890
    Abstract: Controller for an antenna rotator having a rotatable member on which is mounted an antenna to be rotated to various headings. Switching circuitry selectively energizes a motor in the rotator to rotate the member in either of two, opposite directions. Antenna headings are user selectable and pre-programmable, the controller including control circuitry for accepting pre-programmed headings entered from a keyboard, storing the pre-programmed headings and retrieving headings. Users can select a pre-programmed heading or enter a new heading via the keyboard, the control circuitry controlling the motor switching circuitry to rotate the antenna to the selected heading. Circuitry is also provided to energize a brake solenoid in the rotator to, in the absence of jamming or binding, release the brake.
