ARS-USB Azimuth

150,00€ – 173,00€ VAT not included

The ARS-USB Azimuth Interface is the easiest and highest performance Universal Interface for handling your Antenna Rotor. 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 adapted 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 version, but it is also available for Azimuth & Elevation (2 rotators)

We have optionally the cable for some rotator models (Yaesu and Emotator)

SKU: ARS-USB_A Category: Tags: , ,

Description

The ARS-USB 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 as a Control Box:
The ARS-USB can be used as a Stand-Alone unit and does NOT require a computer. It can be used as a replacement for your original rotator. You will need to add only a 24V for the rotator plus 12-14VDC for the ARS-USB. Some AC rotors will require a capacitor. We have versions ready for several Yaesu and Prosistel motors.
 
Also a tool for upgrade the firmware of the ARS-USB is included: RCI_Teleload. With this software, you will upload new releases of the ARS-USB firmware.

All the software can be downloaded from this link:

Therefore you no longer need to order the CD-ROM.

    Esta 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.

    This is a special version based on the ARS-USB that was re-designed to be used as a rotor controller or replacement by Prosistel rotators or any rotor that use multi-turn potentiometer. It includes the same features as the standard ARS-USB but new extras 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 included) will prevent to generate a problem if the potentiometer is damaged by any cause (any wire broken, moisture, a wrong cable connection, etc).

    ARS-USB_YAESU
    [:es]

    Esta 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 módulo de 24Vcc - 90W necesaria para los motores Yaesu que funcionan en corriente continua (G800, G1000, G2800 o el nuevo G450DC).

    • 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

    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 DC-DC module which is necessary for Yaesu motors (G800, G1000, G2800 or new G450DC)
