4.3.2 Angle detectors
Connect the angle detectors to the sat-nms ACU19V as described in chapter
description
1. Configure the desired type of detector on the setup-page.
2. Set the soft-limits to the expected values (at first it is ok if you do this approximately, later on
you need to type in here the exact values).
3. Check the rotational direction of the encoders. If possible, do this by turning the encoder
axis directly, otherwise you have to move the antenna by hand. Maybe you have to invert the
rotational direction on the setup page.
4. Set the offset of the angle detectors to the desired values by using the calc function.
If you need more detailed information, please refer to chapter
4.3.3 Driver Interface
Before you connect the driver interface to the sat-nms ACU19V, take care the ACU19V is in
STOP condition before connecting the drive cabinet.
1. Click the STOP button on the sat-nms ACU19V`s website. By this you can be shure that no
motor movement will occur connecting the drive cabinet.
2. Connect the motors to the sat-nms ACU19V as described in chapter
3. Click the RESET button on the sat-nms ACU19V`s website.
4. Check the motor rotating directions, if necessary change it by interchanging the two wire of
the motor cable.
5. Drive the antenna in every direction (AZ, EL and POL) until the limit switches stop the motor
movement to ensure that the limit switches work well. ATTENTION! While doing this test it is
absolutely necessary to be very mindful to check, if nothing collides!
6. Set the soft-limits to the desired values (e.g. 1 degree before the hardware limit switch is
activated)
4.3.4 Pointing/ Tracking
Now, the setup of all interfaces to the antenna is done. By this everything is prepared to configure
the ACU19V to the desired operation mode, to save targets and finally to set the sat-nms
ACU19V into service.
In chapter
5 Operation
To use the function pointing by stating an orbit position you have to configure the 'Location'
parameters on the setup page to the geodetic location of your antenna. Take care to type in
position with enough accuracy (0.001°). For further informations, please refer to chapter
Setup
for location parameters and
4.3.5 Backup of ACU settings
After complete configuration is done and the sat-nms ACU19V is set up finally, the last step that
is recommended to be done is the backup of ACU settings. By this way an easy replacement of
the ACU-ODM could be performed. The following step-by step description shows how to do this.
1. Open the chiptool (refer to chapter
how to install this tool)
2. Right click to the desired unit. A drop-down list will open, choose FTP
