If this value is set to low the J1 controller will not function properly and display
different motor error messages.
If this value is set to high the primary issue could be poor peaking of the RF
signal and a noticeable jerking motion of the dish mount.
Making adjustments to this setting without the direction of MotoSAT Technical
Support could cause the system to not function properly.
Azimuth PWM High
The Azimuth PWM High (AzPwmLimit
maximum voltage level the J1 Controller motor driver circuits can output.
This PWM values is set in default to approach the maximum DC Voltage output
of the J1 Controller.
Setting the PWM value lower will result in the antenna moving slower but will
not reduce overall performance except for total Satellite Lock times.
Setting this PWM value higher will not improve performance of the system.
Making adjustments to this setting without the direction of MotoSAT Technical
Support could cause the system to not function properly.
Azimuth Current Limit
The Azimuth Current Limit (AzCurrentLimit) sets the maximum allowed azimuth
motor current for a specific time (AzStallTimeout) period before the dish will stop
moving and display a stall message.
This value is different depending on the Dish Mount Type used. Current Limit is
usually set at a value lower than the rated value of the DC motor.
In cases where a specific section (angle) of a Dish Mount exceeds the Current
Limits the Current Limit value can be increased above the DC Motor ratings. But
if the DC Motor ratings are exceeded more than 25% of the time the Dish Mount
is moving then the mount should be repaired.
Making adjustments to this setting without the direction of MotoSAT Technical
Support could cause the system to not function properly or even damage to the
Dish Mount.
