and have it inspected by a service technician before further

use. Liquids, rain or excessive moisture may cause electrical

shorts which can result in re or shock hazards. Never operate

the control near water, such as a swimming pool, etc. or near a

bathtub, sink, laundry tub, or in a wet basement.

14. Cleaning

Unplug the control before cleaning. Use a slightly damp (not wet)

cloth. Do not use an aerosol directly on the control since it may

over spray and cause electrical shock.

15. Performance Change

Whenever the unit exhibits distinct change on performance,

unplug the control and call your dealer or service technician.

16. Servicing

Any attempt to dissemble the control or drive portions of the unit

may expose you to high voltage or other hazards. Observe all

cautionary labels, warnings and safeguards.

17. Damage Requiring Service

If the control has been dropped or the case has been damaged,

re, and shock hazard may exist. Unplug the control and have it

checked by a service technician before use.

18. Replacement Parts

When replacements parts are required, have the service

technician verify that the replacements used have the same

safety characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized

substitutions may result in a risk of re or electric shock, or other

risks.

19. Safety Check

Upon completion of any service or repairs to the unit, please

ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks to

determine that the unit is in a safe operating condition.

20. Lightning

For added protection of the control during a lightning storm or

when control is to be left unattended for an extended period of

time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the rotator

cable. This will prevent possible shock, re hazard and damage

to the control due to lightning storms or power line surges.

21. Rooftop Installation

Always use extreme caution when installing a rooftop antenna

and rotator system to reduce the risk of falls. Wear rubber-soled

shoes and use a sturdy ladder. Do not install on a windy day or

when the roof is wet or is covered with ice or snow.

CONTROLLER COMPATIBILITY

If purchased separately, the Model CM-9537 controller may be used

with the following rotator drive units:

Channel Master Models: CM-9500, 9510(A), 9512, 9513, 9515(A)

Radio Shack

Model 15-1225

If you are upgrading an existing installation with Model CM-9537

controller, skip to controller installation.

ROTATOR INSTALLATION

1. Determine proper size number of rotator cable from chart.

Three conductor cable is suitable, but if four conductor cable is

used, connect both conductors 3 and 4 to terminal 3 on the drive

and control.

*NOTES: Attach 3 and 4 conductors to No. 3 terminals on control and drive.

2. Install drive unit. On new drive units, arrow on mast support

should be aligned with arrow shaped mast stop on housing.

Install drive unit with arrows pointing south. Using a short piece

of mast (3 feet or less), install the antenna to the drive unit

aiming the antenna south. When desired channels are close to

or on opposite sides of the north end stops, the antenna may

be installed pointing north. Note, however, that the antenna

will be pointing in the opposite direction from that indicated on

the control. An alternative means of setting up is to perform a

synchronization of the drive unit using the controller. Then set up

the antenna pointing north. Ensure power is disconnected from

the controller when making antenna adjustments.

See Fig 1 and 2.

Do not mount citizens band base station antennas on top of

a standard mast mount drive unit. Mast support may become

overloaded in high winds.

3. Connect rotator cable to drive unit terminal board. See Fig 3.

CAUTION: When using jacketed cable, be sure jacket of cable passes

thru the grommet to avoid moisture collection in the cable.

4. Attach rotator cable and antenna cable securely to mast or tower,

and pass through building to TV or FM set.

NOTES: See Fig A of the Important Safeguards section regarding

grounding of the lead-in cable for lightning protection.

CAUTION: Before disconnecting old control box, make

note of each wire color and the corresponding

terminal connections. To reduce the risk of electric

shock, do not remove cover. No user-serviceable

parts inside. Refer servicing to qualied service

personnel.

CONTROLLER INSTALLATION

1. Determine the AC supply voltage and frequency in your country.

The US, Canada, Japan, Taiwan and South America are

generally 120 VAC Hz. Europe, Africa, Australia and Asia (except

above mentioned) are generally 230 VAC 50 Hz. Your power

company will advise. Ensure the supplied wall plug power supply

voltage has the same input voltage as your household supply

(±10%). If not, contact your dealer.

2. Plug the power supply into the controller and the household

supply. Observe the digital diagnostic display.

It should display:

• 60H (or 50H in 50 Hz countries)

• HH1 (to use with the supplied handheld remote control)

If the above are not correct refer to Appendix A to change.

3. Disconnect the wall plug supply at the wall outlet. Connect the

cables between the controller and drive unit. See Fig B.

4. Reconnect the AC supply to the controller. After 5 seconds it

will switch off. Switch back on by pressing any key on the front

panel or handheld remote control. Perform a synchronization by

pressing the sync button on the left of the front panel. This takes

slightly over one minute. The unit may now be operated from the

front panel using the up and down controls.

5. Digital Compass

This feature operates as follows:

The display 000 to 360 degrees where:

• 000 is North (fully CCW viewed by a bird)

• 090 is East

• 180 is South

• 270 is West

• 360 is North (fully CW viewed by a bird)

HANDHELD REMOTE SETUP

1. Install 2 AAA batteries in the handheld remote.

2. Check operation by pressing the POWER button and observing

the display. If it does not function, check for HH1 in power up

diagnostic display. If the display is HH2, refer to Appendix A

to change.

3. The UP and DOWN controls will move the antenna position (the

same as the front panel controls). Alternately, a location may be

accessed directly using a 3 digit compass location. Example,

press 090 for East, 225 for South-West, etc.

4. Programming Preset Locations

This is the most popular mode of operation, 69 preset locations

(01 to 69) allow location numbers to be the same as TV channel

numbers if desired.

a. Find best signal using UP and DOWN controls.

b. Decide on a memory location, eg. 27.

c. Press 27 UP 27.

(Locations 01 to 09, eg. 05 may be programmed by either

05 UP 05 or 5 UP 5.)

d. Location is now memorized.

5. Accessing a Preset Location

As an example, to access location 27, press 27. Display will

ash “c27”, then show compass bearing while the antenna is

moving. It will become steady “c27” when it arrives.

(Locations 01 to 09, eg. 05 may be accessed as either 05 or 5).

6. Displaying Memory Locations/Status

From the handheld remote control, press 99 UP. Then observe

the display. Each programmed location is shown, followed

by its digital compass location. Additionally setting of power

frequency, handheld, autosync and timeout are shown.

A typical display might be:

60H 60Hz power c05 270 Compass bearing for c05

HH1 Handheld 1 c11 090 Compass bearing for c11

to on Timeout on c17 270 Compass bearing for c17

888 End of diagnostics 35 35 moves before a resync

Syn on Autosync on

7. Deleting Programmed Locations/Reset

Press 91 DOWN form the handheld remote control.

CAUTION: Use this command with care as ALL memory locations will

be deleted. This will also set autosync off and timeout on

8. Synchronization

Press the SYNC key on the left of the front panel or 00 Down

from the handheld. A counterclockwise movement is performed

to synchronize the control unit with the drive unit for proper

operation. Synchronization takes slightly over one minute.

After severe storms, or an extended period of use, the rotator

may appear to position the antenna incorrectly. First try pressing

the SYNC key to re-synchronize the system. If this fails, the

antenna or drive motor may be misaligned on the mast. You may

either go to the antenna and re-orient it, or reprogram the control

unit to correspond to the new antenna orientation.

9. Auto Synchronization

The unit may be set up program a sync command automatically

after 50 pre programmed moves. This feature is switched on (or

reset to 50) by pressing 98 UP. It is switched off by pressing

98 DOWN. Check to see if active by pressing 99 UP (Display

Status) and observing “SYn on” or “SYn OFF”.

10. Timeout

The unit may be set to switch off after 8 minutes of no activity

by pressing 97 UP. This feature is deactivated by pressing 97

DOWN. Check to see if timeout is active by pressing 99 UP

(Display Status) and observing “to on” or “to OFF.” The unit
