[TowerTalk] Yaesu G-2800 Rotor + Polyphaser Rotator Protector Issue

[Tony]

All:

I installed a Polyphaser rotator control line protector on my Yaesu 
G-2800 rotator and found that the rotor would not work. The rotor 
controller spun erratically when I changed heading and the rotor itself 
would not spin.

I disconnected the line protector and the problem went away. The 
protector is the shunt type 8-wire unit shown here:

The Yaesu rotor uses 6 wires which I connected as per the instructions 
leaving 2 terminals free. The protector was grounded and mounted to a 
copper plate inside an entrance panel.

The rotator seems to be working fine, but I wonder if I caused any damage?

Any ideas?
