50 RC2000C Polar Tracking Antenna Controller
The status of each axis is displayed after the appropriate banner (AZ:, EL:, or PL:) on the top line of the
LCD. If a fault exists for an axis, no movement may occur about that axis until that axis is reset. Use the
1 key to reset the azimuth axis, the 2 key to reset the elevation axis, and the 3 key to reset the
polarization axis. Note that polarization status is displayed and polarization resets are possible only if the
optional rotating feed interface is installed.
Here are the status messages which may be displayed:
OK
Indicates that no fault conditions are active for the axis (azimuth, elevation, or polarization).
JAMMED
Indicates that the antenna was commanded to move about the axis and no movement was
detected by the controller. This indicates either that the antenna did not move when commanded
to do so, or the sensor failed and the controller was not able to detect any movement (azimuth,
elevation, or polarization).
RUNAWAY
The drive was deactivated because the processor sensed movement for a drive which was not
commanded to move. This error is rarely caused by an actual runaway condition (the antenna
moving on its own). This error is usually due to a faulty sensor or noise pickup due to the sensor
shield not being connected properly. See Chapter 3 for proper shield connection instructions
(azimuth and elevation).
DRIVE
The axis was deactivated due to an overcurrent condition (azimuth, elevation, and high current
polarization axis).
SENSOR
This error will occur if the antenna commands a polarization movement, and movement is
detected in the wrong direction. Note that a polarization jammed condition will occasionally
register as a sensor error. Polarization movement in the wrong direction should only occur during
setup (polarization axis only).
Note that the azimuth, elevation, and high power polarization (RC2KHPP only - not the RC2KPOL option)
axis are also protected from over-currents by a circuit breaker located on the back of the controller. If the
circuit breaker opens, the controller will report a JAMMED condition. Note that if simultaneous azimuth
and elevation movement is enabled, the total current draw for both axis cannot exceed 8 amps. If the
total current draw for both axis exceeds 8 amps, disable simultaneous azimuth and elevation movement.

DELETE Mode

SELECT A SATELLITE: PANAMSAT-1
USE SCROLL UP/DOWN, ENTER TO SELECT
This mode is used to delete a satellite entry. This mode can only be activated if the Expert Access flag
set. Refer to section 2.5 for more information on the expert access system. To delete a satellite from the
controllers non-volatile memory:
1. Proceed to DELETE mode.
2. Scroll through the ASSIGNED satellite names.
3. When the desired satellite name is shown, press ENTER. The system will display the message
