AL-4369-1<br />
AL-4367-1 • AL-4368-1 • AL-4369-1 • AL-4370-1<br />
Our Legacy Series AZ/EL positioners provide accurate<br />
rotation, velocity, and direction for customers involved<br />
in antenna design and development.<br />
Their rugged yet simple construction ensures maximum<br />
reliability and trouble-free operation, yielding the best<br />
size and weight versus performance ratio.<br />

Contact <strong>ORBIT</strong>/<strong>FR</strong> for accuracy under load conditions.<br />
� 2 AL-4368-1 and larger models are equipped with<br />
adjustable limit switches capable of approx 20° to 900°<br />
total travel. When rotary joint and slip ring options are<br />
specifi ed, limit switches remain but are electrically<br />
disabled. Multi-axis positioners are factory-set at:<br />
Azimuth Axis: 400° (± 200°)<br />
Elevation Axis: 190° (± 95°)<br />
� 3 Slip Ring & Rotary Joint Option Notes:<br />
Certain slip ring options may require an extension<br />
cap that protrudes above the turntable surface.<br />
Positioner height may increase. Consult <strong>ORBIT</strong>/<strong>FR</strong>.<br />
Slip ring contacts for customer use are provided<br />
with dedicated connectors.<br />
When rotary joint and/or slip ring options are<br />
specifi ed, no central thru-hole is available to<br />
the user. Option TH002 and TH003 are available in<br />
lieu of rotary joint and/or slip ring options.<br />
� 4 AL-4368-1 and larger models are delivered standard<br />
with synchro.<br />
