4O3A Rotator Genius Magnetic Azimuth Sensors

4O3A Rotator Genius Magnetic Azimuth Sensors are calibrated, highly accurate, magnetic azimuth sensors (i.e. a magnetic compass) designed to provide precise antenna direction feedback for Amateur Radio rotator systems. They deliver azimuth readings with ±1° accuracy and connect via standard CAT5e Ethernet cable. While it’s intended to work with the Rotator Genius controller, they can also be used as a standalone solution for azimuth readout when paired with a compatible RS485-to-USB or RS232 converter (sold separately) and paired with the downloadable AzimuthReader Microsoft Windows application. Housed in a waterproof enclosure, these sensors are ideal for boom-mounted installations and eliminate the need for traditional pulse or potentiometer-based sensors, offering a reliable and maintenance-free alternative.
