internal list, the user is presented with a longitude value also from the controller’s
internal list.
3. Screen reads: ‘Select Band. 0 – C, 1 – K, 2-C&K. Enter’
Select 1 for KU band.
4. The next screen prompts the user to specify the Pol CW/CCW position.
Skew the POL to the Horizontal position and press the H/7 key. The screen will
briefly say H POL set. Skew the POL to the Vertical position and press the V key
and the menu will display ‘DATA ACCEPTED’.
Repeat Steps 1-4 to program in additional satellites.
B.
After programming in a pair of satellites, the user should repeatedly move
between those two satellites (at least 10 times) using the AUTO mode. Note the
AZ and EL positions associated with each satellite. At the conclusion of the
moves, manually peak up received signal strength on each of the satellites (using
MANUAL mode). Verify that the AZ and EL positions that result in peaking
signal strength is the same as the position associated with each satellite. IF NOT,
position counts from the actuator pulse position sensors are not being
accumulated properly. In most cases, this is caused by improper shielding of the
sensor cable. Ensure that the actuator drain wires are connected at the back of the
controller and that the actuator shield is not allowed to come into contact with any
metal object. If the actuator cable is spliced, the shield drain must also be spliced.
