Winegard 2-WAY SATELLITE INTERNET SYSTEM Product Manual page 36

8. After completing the Compass Heading and Calibration screens on the previous
page, the controller will advance to the ADVANCED OP MODE screen.
In this screen there are only two modes which are supported for field deployment,
Normal Search Mode and Inclined Orbit Search Mode.
Both modes handle the acquisition of a satellite in the same manner but perform
different functions after the acquisition.
Normal Search Mode (Defaults) -
As the name implies, Normal Search Mode is the default and standard way of
searching.
In this mode, once the satellite acquisition has finished, the controller will stop all
movement and unless Auto Peak is selected, will not move the motors further
unless the Auto Stow feature is enabled.
Inclined Orbit Search Mode - (iDirect Only)
In Inclined Orbit Search Mode, once the satellite acquisition has finished, the
controller will go into a re-peaking mode period for 24 hours. During this period,
and at the interval set in the Inclined Orbit parameters, the controller will analyze
the signal strength and re-peak the antenna if the signal has dropped beyond a
specific threshold value.
The location of the beginning of the re-peak and the end of the re-peak are logged
to a table.
After the 24 hour period has elapsed, the system will then re-peak the antenna to
the locations logged on the table at the times of day logged.
A second routine checks the quality of the peaks while using the table and if the
signal level falls below a specific threshold overall resets the system to peak and
log the new coordinates over a 24 hour period.
For the purposes of this manual, please select "Normal Search Mode" and press
the "NEXT" button to advance to the MODEM SELECTION screen.
