Distributor for USA & Canada: VIBROPLEX    

Distributor for Australia  & New Zealand: Comtek Radio

 

Included in the ERC USB kit:

• Kit with all components to build the ERC USB and to install it inside a rotor-controller
• USB-cable
• Instructions how to build the ERC USB
• Installationguide for more than 90 rotators, have a look to our Rotator Guide
• Service-Tool (Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10/11 32 and 64bit) for configuration and calibration.
• Rotor-Control Software (Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10/11 32 and 64bit)

There are no rotor-specific connectors or housing included in the kit. You will find connectors for certain rotators in the category Cables&Connectors.

SPECIFICATION ERC USB

• Size of printed board : 80mm x 61mm
• Supply-voltage : 4.0 - 5.5VDC through USB, max 140mA
• Operating-temperature : 0 to 70°
• meassuring-circuit for the rotator-feedback-voltage : 0 to +15 V, protected against overvoltage coming through the cable, Input-Impedance > 250 KOhm
• Resolution : 10bit
• Software-driven calibration with calibration-assistant
• Full support for rotators with overlap up to 180°
• Extended calibration every 30° to compensate non-linearities of the rotator-feedback-voltage
• Security-stop, if the rotators doesn´t move
• Relay-circuits:
  • CW/CCW : each 2xON/OFF (DPDT) max 50VAC/3A or 30VDC/2.5A
  • AUX : 1xON (SPST) max. 250VAC at 3A

• Controller with bootloader
• ERC is compatible to a subset of the following protocols:
  • Hygain DCU-1 with extension for position-feedback
  • Yaesu GS232A
  • Yaesu GS232B
• Programs with which ERC has been checked successfully: see Software-guide
• Compatible rotators: see Rotator-guide
• Firmware supported features:
  • delay before rotator starts moving
  • programmable end stops
  • antenna offset
  • overshoot-correction
  • support of overlap up to 180°
  • speed- or brake-function for AUX-output
  • speed function by angle or delay
  • extended Calibration every 30°
  • tolerance of position for tracking-mode
  • software-calibration
  • save and load of all calibration- and configuration-data

• More details are available in the specification-sheet in the File-section below.

RoHS : ERC and the components used are according to the EG-directive 2002/95/EG to avoid usage of hazardous substances in electronic equipment.
