Note: This applies to platforms equipped with a polarization tilt sensor only
3. If the Mobile Platform physically moves but the angle doesn’t change (PL Tilt Sensor)
Possible Causes:
• Polarization Tilt Sensor (Platforms ver. 3.x (980/1200), 2.x (1800) only)
• Sensor Cable
• Internal Wiring Harness
• 7000 Controller
a. Test the Controller Sensor Pins for voltage. On the controller sensor connector test pins 9 and 18
for 12VDC. If you are getting power proceed to testing the sensor cable and wiring harness. If you
are not getting power please contact C-COM Technical Support.
Insert positive lead while grounding the negative lead
b. Use the Polarization Tilt Sensor Circuit Diagram on the following page to confirm continuity of the
cabling. Set the voltmeter to beeper or continuity mode. If the Sensor Cable and Internal Wiring
Harness pass continuity, this will conclude the issue is the Polarization Tilt Sensor.
