- I am using a K7NV prop-pitch rotator for my almost completed tower project. For the encoder (magnetic pulse counter) that is mounted inside the PP motor, I am using a 2 pair small wire cable that has

- I have a Green Heron controller driving an M2 rotator. It uses a magnetic pulse encoder. I had a red and blue wire inside a foil shield with a drain wire inside. I grounded the drain wire and I also

- oh I forgot I did this at the top of the tower, at the bottom of the tower and where the cable enters my shack. I also grounded the blue wire and shield at the back of the Green Heron box inside the

- According to Jeff, it is not necessary to shield the pulse wires when using a Green Heron Controller, however I also use a shielded sensor cable with my prop pitch motors. One of the rotators has 450

- Mark and All, I have no problem grounding the foil and ground wire in this encoder cable. I am puzzled though, inside the Green Heron Controller, each terminal lug going to the PP and encoder has an

- I use MOVs at multiple points in the control wires to protect the rotators and the controllers. I do not believe there is any harm except for the minimal cost. I think you are referring to using mult

- 73, Gerald K5GW there are potential problems where you can actually make the transient worse when you have a long wire (which can store transient energy) with fast operating shunt switches at both en
