RC2000C Polar Tracking Antenna Controller
USE CW, CCW TO ADJUST - H, V KEYS TO SET
When this screen is displayed the CW and CCW keys may be used to adjust the polarization, and the H
and V keys may be used to set each polarization.
If the satellite being set up is in an inclined orbit, the controller will prompt the user to specify the initial
track polarization with the following message.
INITIAL TRACK POL (H OR V)?
At this point the user should select either H or V as the polarization to use for tracking when control
switches to TRACK mode. When the user has selected the initial polarization, the 'DATA ACCEPTED'
message will appear for a few seconds, and the control will switch to TRACK mode.
If the satellite just entered was not an inclined orbit satellite, after the 'DATA ACCEPTED' message
appears the controller remains in SETUP mode. Control transfers to the initial screen, and the process
may be repeated. Note that the MODE key may be pressed at any time to exit the mode which is
currently active.
User-Defined Satellite Names
If the desired satellite name is not in memory, you can assign a new name of up to ten (10) alphanumeric
characters (A-Z, 0-9, hyphen (-), or space) by accessing the USER entry mode as follows.
From the screen which allows the user to jog the antenna in azimuth and elevation, use the SCROLL
keys to bring up the 'USER' entry in the list, and press ENTER. The following screen will display:
ELECT:*
USE SCROLL UP/DOWN, BKSP & ENTER KEYS
Note that the cursor will be displayed under the '*' character. The SCROLL UP and SCROLL DOWN
keys may be used to select alpha-numeric characters (A-Z, 0-9, hyphen (-), and space). A space can be
entered in the name by pressing SCROLL UP once, and SCROLL DOWN once, then ENTER. The
BKSP key may be used to delete the character to the left of the cursor. During alpha-numeric data entry,
the ENTER key has two functions. If the ENTER key is depressed while the '*' character is displayed, the
alpha-numeric data entry session is terminated. If the ENTER key is depressed when the '*' character is
not displayed, the cursor will advance to the right one space and the user will be prompted again with the
'*' character.

RESET Mode

The RESET mode is used to display azimuth, elevation, and polarization drive fault conditions, and to re-
enable the drive outputs in the event the microcontroller has disabled an axis. When RESET mode is
activated, one of the following screens will be displayed.
AZ:
RESET AXIS: 1-AZ, 2-EL
AZ:
RESET AXIS: 1-AZ, 2-EL, 3-POL
The first screen will be displayed if a polarotor is present in the system, and the second screen will be
displayed if the optional feed drive is installed.
