ARS-USB_YAESU
160,00€ – 185,00€ VAT not included
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 in DC.
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).
Description
The ARS-USB_YAESU is a special version based on the ARS-USB that can be used as a replacement or controller for any rotor that operates in DC.
Some Yaesu models suported are:
- G800S, G800SA, G800DXA, G800SDX
- G1000A, G1000SA, G1000S, G1000DXA, G1000SDX, G1000DXC
- G2800DXA, G2800DXC
But it can be used with any motor that works in DC and uses a potentiometer (for instance Emotator 1200). It includes a 5 pin connector for simple wiring with any Yaesu motor.
The ARS-USB_YAESU can be connected to the computer via USB and it’s detected as a serial port, so any program will be able to control it via this serial 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_YAESU.
A program to guide during the setup and calibration is included: ARSVCOM (ARSconf).The calibration of a unit is very simple and includes a step by step guide. Also it allows controlling the rotor with a graphical and friendly user interface. It’s a nice option when you want to control the antenna local or remotely via Internet.
A tool for upgrade the firmware of the ARS-USB is included: Teleloader. With this software, you will upload new releases of the ARS-USB_Yaesu firmware.

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.

ARS-USB_PST
[:es]160,00€ – 185,00€ VAT not included Select optionsEsta es una versión especial del ARS-USB que ha sido adaptada a los motores Prosistel (o motores que emplean potenciómetro multivueltas) permitiendo reemplazar el mando original de Prosistel por este mando.
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.
