CONTROL-1500A Single Axis Antenna Controller
REMOTE
POS
GALAXY6
In this mode the controller receives and acts on commands received via the communications
port. This mode can only receive control if enabled via the Remote Enable CONFIG mode
item. The only key which is active is the MODE key, which can be used to switch to a different
mode.
SETUP
POS
TELSTAR302 F SET
SETUP mode allows the user to store satellite position and horizontal/vertical polarization
values into the controller's non-volatile memory. Once stored in memory, the satellite is
available for recall by AUTO mode.
Here is how a satellite is programmed into memory from SETUP mode.
1. The user peaks the antenna up on the desired satellite.
2. The SCROLL keys are used to scroll through a list of satellite names stored in the
controller's EPROM memory. Hit the ENTER key to select the satellite name. If the user
wishes to assign a name which is not stored in the satellite's EPROM memory, the USER
can manually enter the name. See section xx for details.
3. The user is then prompted to specify the jH and V polarization values for the satellite by
jogging the polarization to those positions. If the antenna does not employ motorized
polarization adjustment the user must still specify the H and V polarization values to the
controller. For this case, the 24 VDC Rot Feed CONFIG mode item should be set to No to
indicate to the controller that a 3 wire servo type polarization control system is present. A
servo polarization device does not provide feedback to the controller. When the controller
is configured for servo based polarization control, when specifying the satellite horizontal
and vertical polarization positions at the H and V prompts make sure that the polarization
position is not at the CW or CCW limit.
4. When the user has entered in all of the requested data, the controller will respond with
"DATA ACCEPTED". SETUP mode remains active, user can repeat the procedure with
another satellite.
