3) Connecting devices to MCU with fibre optic cables 1. Connect “IN” at MCU with “OUT” of first device, prefer the red line. Connect “OUT” at MCU with “IN” of first device, prefer the black line. If your device is prepared for a HCU (Hand Control Unit), you have to connect the MCU to the port named “MCU”. -

5) Moving a Turntable (Turn Device) 1. Navigate the arrow in the MAINSCREEN with “UP” or “DOWN” to the Turntable (Turn Device) and press “ENTER”. The double arrow marks him now as chosen device. 2. Press “REFERENCE”, Then “ENTER”. The Turntable (Turn Device) is now slowly moving to his reference point, normally +90°. - Page 8 Input the new position And press “ENTER” again. The Turntable (Turn Device) will move to his new position. 6. With pressing, “STOP” while the Turntable (Turn Device) is moving he will brake and stop then.

6) Menu of Turntable (Turn Device) 1. When a Turntable (Turn Device) is chosen (double arrow =>) by pressing “MENU” you will enter the Turntable (Turn Device) menu. With “UP” and “DOWN” you can navigate to the individual points. 2. Navigate to “information” and press “ENTER”. The device type, the serial number and the firmware version is shown. - Page 10 You can type in user limits and confirm with “ENTER”. With “UP” and “DOWN” you can navigate between user limit maximum and minimum. 5. To delete a user limit navigate to the according, input a higher (or lower) limit and confirm with “ENTER”.

7) Moving an Antenna Mast 1. Navigate the arrow in the MAINSCREEN with “UP” or “DOWN” to the Antenna Mast and press “ENTER”. The double arrow marks him now as chosen device. 2. Press “REFERENCE”, Then “ENTER”. The Antenna Mast is now slowly moving to his reference points, 1.00 m and vertical. 3. - Page 12 4. By pressing “HOR” or VER” you can change the polarization. 5. Press “UP” and hold it, the Antenna Mast will move up, but only up to his maximum limit, for example 4.00m. Press “DOWN” and hold it, the Antenna Mast will move down, but only to his minimum limit 1.00m.
- Page 13 7. With pressing, “STOP” while the Antenna Mast is changing his height he will brake and stop then.

8) Menu of Antenna Mast 1. When an Antenna Mast is chosen (double arrow =>) by pressing “MENU” you will enter the Antenna Mast menu. With “UP” and “DOWN” you can navigate to the individual points. 2. Navigate to “information” and press “ENTER”. The device type, the serial number and the firmware version is shown. - Page 15 6. Repeat point 8.1 and 8.3; navigate to “height upper limit” and press, “ENTER”. Here you can set a user limit absolute and one for vertical. See point G5 how to set or delete user limits 7. Repeat point 8.1, navigate to “positioning speed” and confirm with “ENTER”. You will see the possible minimal and maximal speed.

Page 21: Chapter 1: Gpib-Bus Commands For Antenna Masts
Chapter 1: GPIB-Bus commands for Antenna Masts General information All outputs through the GPIB-Bus are five characters long, followed by Line Feed (0AH). Missing positions are filled with blanks (20H). All values are transferred in CM. Negative values are not allowed. The commands, values and units must be transferred in capital letters and separated by blanks. - Page 22 The BU register indicates if the motor and thereby also the mast is currently moving. For mechanical reasons, the motor cannot start immediately after the receipt of a start command. Therefore it is necessary to wait until the mast moves (BU = 1), before it is possible to enquire with BU whether the previous command has been completed.

Chapter 2: GPIB-Bus commands for Turntables & Turn Devices General information All outputs through the GPIB-Bus are five characters long, followed by Line Feed (0AH). Missing positions are filled with blanks (20H). All values are transferred in DG. The commands, values and units must be transferred in capital letters and separated by blanks. - Page 24 The BU register indicates if the motor and thereby also the turntable or turn device are currently moving. For mechanical reasons, the motor cannot start immediately after the receipt of a start command. Therefore it is necessary to wait until the turntable moves (BU = 1), before it is possible to enquire with BU whether the previous command has been completed.
