EASY-ROTOR-CONTROL
Distributor for USA & Canada:
EASY-ROTOR-CONTROL (ERC, ERC-Mini, ERC-M)
ERC are RS232-, USB or LAN-interfaces for almost any rotator in the world.
ERC are available as 1-axis-interface for Azimuth and as 2-axis-interface for Azimuth&Elevation or DUAL-Azimuth.
ERC support the control of (most) any rotator by a standard RS232-, USB- or LAN-interface.
ERC might be installed directly into the rotor-controllers housing or in an external housing.
ERC are suitable to upgrade rotor-controllers which cannot be controlled by computers yet.
ERC can be used by many professional HAM-radio programs as they understand protocols like HyGain DCU-1 or Yaesu GS232.
ERC provide a software-driven calibration-process without putting jumpers, measuring or adjusting feedback-voltages.
ERC provide easy installation into the rotor-controllers housing or into external housings.
ERC come with a detailed installation-guide.
ERC have a bootloader which enables the user to update the controller-firmware by the RS-232- or USB-interface.
ERC support a comprehensive set of configuration-items.
Before ordering an ERC:
Please check our Rotator-list in order to be sure, that your rotator is compatible to our interfaces and if there is any accessory (connector or rotor-card) needed in order to set your system up.
The interface selection-guide will also help you in the decision, what interface to buy.
Please check also our Software-Guide in order to be sure that your favourite program is compatible to our interfaces and how to set it up.

More sub categories:
Interface for Yaesu/Kenpro SDX-series, USB, open-collector-outputs, 4-stage speed-control
ERC-Mini SDX can be used to control rotators of the SDX-series by Yaesu/Kenpro. The interface was checked with the most popular logging-, contesting and remote-programs.
You can use ERC-Mini SDX to directly mount it inside the SDX-control-box.
Interface for Yaesu DXA/DXC-series, USB, open-collector-outputs, 4-stage speed-control
ERC-Mini DX can be used to control rotators of the DXA/DXC-series by Yaesu. The interface was checked with the most popular logging-, contesting and remote-programs.
You can use ERC-Mini DX to directly connect it to the DXA/DXC-control-box with a Mini-DIN-cable.
1-axis interface for azimuth, RS232, relay-outputs
ERC is a compact interface which can be mounted directly into the control-box of most any rotator as it has the needed relays already on-board.
ERC can be used to control directional antennas for the HAM-operator. The controller has been checked with the most popular logging and contest-programs. Please refer to our software-guide.
