I have 2 Yaesu G-800 Rotator Motors and 2 G-800SDX  Control Boxes

The Control boxes look exactly the same and both work.


1 motor unit has a 6 Pin male connector with LARGE diameter pins
 and the second Motor unit has a 7 pin connector with Smaller Diameter pins


I tested Both Control Boxes with the 6 Pin Motor Unit

I know that the control boxes only need 5 wires to work as Pin 6 is NOT Used
( I verified by opening control box and Pin 6 of connector does not have a
wire connected to it.)

Now I want to test the Second Motor unit that has *7 Connector Pins* !!!!

Looking at the manual, it only shows a *6 pin MOTOR Connector*

Do I only connect to pins 1 thru 5 of the 7 pins on the 7 pin Motor unit
to Connector pins 1 thru 5 of the 6 pin Control box connector. ????
( Are Pins 6 and 7 of the 7 pin motor unit just not used ??? )


I do not want to just guess and connect the 6 pin Control box to the 7 pin
motor unit
and risk blowing up the Control Box -  !!!!

HELP !

73, Dennis N6KI
