Overview

WiMo ERC-DUO USB Interface for Yaesu Rotators

ERC-DUO USB Interface for Yaesu Rotators is a compact interface designed in Germany for connecting compatible Yaesu rotator controllers to a computer via USB. ERC-DUO can connect to all Yaesu rotator controllers that have an 'Ext. Control' connector. ERC-DUO includes a 6-pin mini-DIN cable for the Yaesu DXA series controllers. A suitable 8-pin DIN (not mini-DIN) cable must be purchased separately for use with Yaesu Azimuth-Elevation models G-5500DC or previous G-5500. The ERC-DUO offers connection options for up to two rotors simultaneously to support satellite antenna systems with azimuth and elevation motors.

The ERC-DUO interface uses the Yaesu rotor control protocol, just like the Yaesu GS-232A/GS-232B interface. This makes this interface compatible with almost all rotor control programs and logging software programs on the market.

A key difference and advantage compared to others is the ERC-DUO Interface is powered via the PC USB port, so it is easy to use for either Base or Portable Satellite operations because it does not require an external power supply.
Also included is the USB A to USB B cable for the PC connection. Install the USB driver before connecting the ERC-DUO, a simple download from the FTDI website: https://ftdichip.com/drivers/vcp-drivers/.
The calibration tool, user manual and control software can be downloaded from the URL provided in the documentation included in the product packaging.
