The rotator control unit has two internal power supplies. One of these power supplies is  \text{30 VDC (100 W)} and the other is  \text{24 VDC (65 W)} . These power supplies are located within the high voltage section of the control unit (see below).

WARNING:

Risk of electric shock.
Disconnect power before servicing the control unit.
The shaded region in the figure above shows the location of the high voltage power entry and the two internal power supplies.

AVERTISSEMENT:

Risque de décharge électrique.
Déconnectez l’alimentation avant de procéder à l’entretien de l’unité de commande.
La région ombragée de la figure (ci-dessus) présente l’emplacement de l’entrée de puissance à haute tension et des deux alimentations internes.

In the (rare) event that it is necessary to replace one of the internal power supply units, it is important to carefully identify which type of power supply is to be replaced. First, determine which supply ( \text{30 V} or  \text{24 V} ) is to be replaced (see above).

Next, carefully examine the power supply to determine which brand of power supply is to be replaced. Early rotators (prior to October 2014) use power supplies manufactured by Astrodyne, FranMar International or TDK Lambda. Later rotators (after October 2014) use power supplies manufactured by XP Power. Depending upon when the rotator was manufactured, choose the appropriate replacement part shown below.
