4 –Transmitter Disable
Disables the Transmitter once locked onto satellite.
5 –Azimuth Calibration
Performs a complete Azimuth Calibration.
 Antenna will completely rotate counter-clockwise to the physical limit and temporarily record
the A/D value from the Potentiometer.
 Antenna will completely rotate clockwise to the physical limit and temporarily record the A/D
value from the Potentiometer.
 Based on the A/D values of the two (2) physical limits, and the range of motion for the Mobile
Platform, the AZ Pot Factor is calculated.
 Antenna will center itself and attempt to locate the cut-off edges of the Azimuth Stow Switch.
 After detecting at which angles the ST Switch turns OFF, the Azimuth zero position is
calculated and the AZ Pot Zero is set at the zeroed A/D value.
6 – Polarization Calibration
Performs a complete polarization calibration.
 Antenna will completely rotate counter-clockwise to the physical limit and temporarily record
the A/D value from the Potentiometer.
 Antenna will completely rotate clockwise to the physical limit and temporarily record the A/D
value from the Potentiometer.
 Based on the A/D values of the two (2) physical limits, and the maximum range of motion for
the Mobile Platform, the PL Pot Factor is calculated.
 Antenna will center itself and attempt to locate the cut-off edges of the Polarization Stow
Switch.
 After detecting at which angles the ST Switch turns OFF, the Polarization zero position is
calculated and the PL Pot Zero is set at the zeroed A/D value.
7 – Compass Calibration
Ensure that there are no metallic objects that could interfere with the Compass, and that the Mobile
Platform is on level surroundings.
Orient the Mobile Platform as depicted in the following figure. It is recommended that you use an
external compass to be as accurate with the orientation as possible.
