ARS-USB Azimuth & Elevation
200,00€ – 215,00€ VAT not included
The ARS-USB Azimuth & Elevation Interface is the easiest and highest performance Universal Interface for handling your Antenna Rotator. It’s connected to your rotor controller (Yaesu, Kenpro, Daiwa, HAMIV/T2X, Prosistel, etc) and you will be able to point your antennas from your computer automatically.
The ARS is a universal interface, since it can be connected to any type of motor controller; the user manual describes the connection of this one, with a long list of supported controllers.
This model corresponds to an “Azimuth and Elevation” version, but it is also available for Azimuth (1 rotator)
We have optionally the cable for some rotator models (Yaesu and Emotator)
Description
The ARS-USB Azimuth & Elevation Interface is detected at the computer as a Serial/COM port, so any program (Satellite Tracking, Logging program, etc.) will be able to control it via this COM Port. Moreover it emulates a Yaesu GS232A interface; this fact has the advantage that any program that supports a GS232A will support directly the ARS-USB.
A program to guide during the setup and calibration is included: ARSVCOM (ARSconf). Also it allows to control the rotor with a graphical and friendly user interface. It’s a nice option when you want to control the antenna via the mouse and without any additional program.

ARS-USB_YAESU
[:es]185,00€ – 205,00€ VAT not included Select optionsEsta es una versión especial del ARS-USB que ha sido adaptada a los motores Yaesu (o motores que funcionen en corriente continua a 24Vcc) permitiendo reemplazar el mando original de Yaesu por este mando. También en la mayoría de casos, puede ser adaptado para motores en corriente alterna.
Incluye las mismas prestaciones que el ARS-USB standard pero además:
- Gestión del arranque/parada por PWM con lo cual se proporciona que el motor arranque y pare de forma progresiva.
- Avisa y bloquea el giro cuando detecta que el potenciómetro está fuera del rango de operación (por ejemplo ante rotura del potenciómetro o de algún hilo).
- Avisa y detecta si el motor queda bloqueado.
- Supervisa que el motor gire en el sentido correcto y no en sentido contrario. Esto puede pasar cuando se conectan los cables por primera vez.
Además permite calibrar el motor en cualquier punto de su recorrido e incluye un configurador (ARSConf) sencillo y flexible.
Incluye fuente de 24Vcc - 90W necesaria para los motores Yaesu que funcionan en corriente continua (G800, G1000, G2800)
[:en]This is a special version based on the ARS-USB that was re-designed to be used as a rotor controller or replacement for a Yaesu Control Unit (or similar rotators) that operates 24Vdc
It includes the same features as the standard ARS-USB adding some extra as:
- Simple and easy calibration at any rotor position in few steps.
- Soft start and stop via a PWM. It allows to have a soft starting/stopping ramp.
- It detects if the potentiometer is out of range and will prevent any accidental problem with the antenna coax. Any problem with the potentiometer or cables are detected inmediately
- If the motor is jammed by any reason, an alarm will be displayed and the appointment will stop. The user will be noticed.
All those watch-dog systems (and some more options) will prevent to generate a problem if the potentiometer is damaged by any cause (any wire broken, moisture, a wrong cable connection, etc).
This model include a 24Vdc power supply.

Elevation inclinometer
[:es]100,00€ VAT not included Add to cartEste inclinómetro permite fabricarse un motor para elevación a partir de por ejemplo un actuador.
El inclinómetro proporciona un retorno muy fiable que podrá ser empleado por el ARS-USB (o interfaces similares) para conocer la posición en elevación de las antenas. También puede ser empleado para usarse con un motor standard de elevación, empleando el inclinómetro como la referencia por el ARS-USB de la posición.
Sus excelentes características técnicas a un precio razonable, es una solucíon ideal para aplicaciones donde requieran un sistema de apuntamiento fiable.
[:en]This inclinometer is a valuable option for elevation motors.
It allows manufacturing an elevation motor from such an actuator (TV). The inclinometer provides a very reliable feedback return that may be used by the ARS-USB (or similar interfaces) to determine the elevation of the antennas.
It can also be employed for use with a standard elevation motor, using as reference the inclinometer to the ARS-USB.
It's excellent technical features at a reasonable price are ideal for applications requiring a reliable targeting solution.
