APPENDIX B - MOUNT SPECIFIC DATA
Mount Variations
The following table lists the different mounts supported by the RC3050 and the required software model
number required to support that mount.

All AVL mobile mounts supported by the RC3050 use 36 VDC motors thus requiring the RC3050A
hardware configuration.
System Interfaces
All AVL mounts provide the basic RC3050 interface requirements. Azimuth stow and elevation UP,
DOWN and STOW limit switches are provided. *** pol **
Sensor Rigging and Calibration
To calibrate all Vertex models, the front of the dish should be placed in the vertical position.

(1) The elevation stow position does not correspond to an indicated angle since the stow position is
outside the effective range of the electronic clinometer. The RC3050 will drive down until it reaches
the elevation stow switch.
(2) The Polarization stow switch must be activated on these mounts in order to proceed below the
DOWN limit.
