RC1000A Antenna Controller...........................................................6-7 Delete Mode 15
6-5 LIMITS Mode
NOTE: To set limits, there must be someone outside at the antenna location to let the
programmer know when the antenna has reached its physical limits of travel. It is critical
that as the antenna moves from west to east, the position count shown on the display
MUST DECREASE. If it does not, pins 9 and 11 on J1 are reversed. Recheck Figures
4.1 and 4.2 and correct.
************ WARNING *************
THERE ARE NO RESTRICTIONS ON
ANTENNA MOVEMENT WHEN IN THE
LIMITS MODE - USE CAUTION!
**********************************
1. Go
to LIMITS mode (in Programming Mode Group.)
2.
Screen will prompt "SET EAST LIMIT". The first limit must be the east limit.
3.
Move antenna using A or B to the East limit while the assistant outside alerts the
programmer when the antenna comes to within 2 inches of the east limit of the antenna
mount.
4. Press
E to set the limit.
5.
Screen will prompt "SET WEST LIMIT" for the opposing limit - Repeat steps 2 through 4.
6.
Program will automatically put you back into MAN mode.
7.
In order to verify that the limits have been stored correctly, turn the unit off for five
seconds, then turn it back on. While in contact with the person outside to verify the
physical position of the antenna, jog the antenna to its maximum eastern limit. Repeat
for the western limit. If the antenna does not stop at the designated physical limit, you
must repeat these steps. Check all connections and equipment.
6-6 SET Mode
Set mode allows the user to enter a satellite name, position, and polarization settings to memory.
Once a satellite has been entered into memory using SET mode, it can be automatically located
using AUTO mode.
1. Make sure that you are in MAN mode and the Auto-Pol feature is disabled.
2. Move antenna to the easternmost satellite position you wish to program by using the A
or B buttons to jog east.
3. Hold MODE and release to go to Programming Mode Group, scroll MODE to SET.
