Programming and Operating the RCA VH126N Antenna Rotator

Operating the RCA VH126N Antenna Rotator

Using the Programmable Antenna Rotator 

To go to a programmed antenna position: Press the letter key for that position on the remote or on the control unit’s front panel. The drive unit turns the antenna to that position, and the control unit displays the position of the antenna in degrees.

To stop the rotator while it’s going to a programmed position: Turn the control unit off, then turn it back on. Press the INITIAL key to resynchronize the unit.

To fine-tune the antenna position (or position manually): Press the > or < keys on the remote control or control unit’s front panel to move the antenna clockwise (>) or counter-clockwise (<).
Note: If you press the INITIAL key by mistake, press the INITIAL key again to stop the reset procedure. Then continue with the action you were trying to perform.

Performing the Learning Procedure

1. Simultaneously press and hold the INITIAL and > keys (make sure you press the INITIAL key first). The rotator turns a full 360º cycle.
2. Release both keys at the same time. The ANT POSITION indicator displays the rotator cycle time. The control unit uses this information to keep the antenna positions and program locations synchronized.

Resetting the Memory Keys

Resetting the control unit’s memory keys erases all programmed antenna positions.

1. Turn off the control unit.
2. Press and hold the D key on the control unit’s front panel.
3. While holding the D key, turn the control unit back on. The < and > indicators light up.
4. Release the D key and turn the unit back off.
5. Turn the unit back on a second time. The unit will perform the initialization procedure. The CHANNEL on the front panel reads 0, and the ANT POSITION display reads 00. The unit is resetting its memory.
