A radio controlled liquid monitor, capable of rotation about a vertical
axis through an infinite arc is disclosed. A rotatable body is rotatably
mounted onto a base element for rotation about a vertical axis, and a
discharge elbow is rotatably mounted on the rotatable body for rotation
about a horizontal axis. A horizontal drive unit and a vertical drive
unit operate on gears on the rotatable body and the elbow, to enable the
rotatable body to rotate about a vertical axis, and the discharge elbow
to rotate about a horizontal axis. A control module is attached to the
rotatable body which receives radio control commands from an operator via
a portable transmitter apparatus or a fixed transmitter apparatus. The
control module and drive unit receive electrical power and control
signals through a rotating connector positioned within the base element
and rotatable body so that the control module and drive units receive
electrical power and control signals regardless of the rotational
position of the rotatable body.
