Description
Manual This menu screen enables the antenna pointing direction to
be changed manually by use of the Manual Control Keys on
the front panel. Menu key 5 enables either azimuth &
elevation or the polarisation motors to be driven.
Azimuth is driven by the left and right manual keys.
Elevation is driven by the upper and lower manual keys.
Polarisation is driven by the left (ccw) and right (cw) manual
keys.
Menu key 6 latches which ever manual key is pressed and
drives at an increased speed. (useful for large distance
moves) Pressing key 6 again releases the latching effect.
Stow Menu key 4 (alternate functions) causes the antenna to be
driven to the pre-set stow position (via the preliminary stow
position) and, where appropriate, the stow pins to be driven
into locking position.
If the antenna is “stowed” key 4 causes the stow pins to be
withdrawn, where appropriate, and the antenna to drive to the
preliminary stow position. (see Stow Setup)
Notes The Drive Fail alarm does not work in Manual (P) mode.
The antenna may be driven through azimuth 0

(North) in
Manual (P) mode (azimuth 180

[South] in Southern
Hemisphere).
Manual (P) mode is local (front panel) control as opposed to
remote manual control which is Manual (A) Mode.
