RC2000A Dual Axis Antenna Controller
Chapter 2
Basic Function
To configure the controller for AutoPol operation, the user must have a suitable output available on the
satellite receiver which is connected properly to the AutoPol input of the RC2000A. Additionally. the
polarity of the AutoPol input must be specified (from CONFIG mode), and the AutoPol feature must be
enabled (also from CONFIG mode). When the polarity of the AutoPol input is specified, the user is
informing the controller that a given AutoPol input level (high or low) corresponds to vertical polarization.
Configuring the AutoPol system during installation is covered in more detail in Chapter 3 and the
CONFIG mode prompts which enable and specify the polarity of the AutoPol input are described in
Chapter 4 in the CONFIG mode section.

Sticky Key Jog
The controller has been modified to support a feature referred to as Sticky Key Jog. This feature is
sometimes useful during antenna setup and while cutting antenna patterns. With Sticky Key Jog, in
MANUAL mode, an az/el jog is initiated by hitting the Az CCW, Az CW, El Down, or El Up keys. Once a
sticky key jog is initiated it will continue until the user hits the Stop key, the antenna encounters a limit,
or the controller exits MANUAL mode.
To activate a Sticky Key Jog, at the CONFIG mode Expert Access prompt enter 50562. Control will
immediately transfer to MANUAL mode. The Sticky Key Jog will be enabled until the user exits
MANUAL mode by hitting the Mode key, the controller is powered down, or a remote command is
received that causes activation of REMOTE mode.
