Introduction

ETS-Lindgren’s 2301 Type Precision Positioner is designed to perform automated 3-dimensional pattern 
measurements.  The positioner includes vertical support columns that  will accommodate equipment under test (EUT) 
up to 25 kg (55 lb).   
The positioner is equipped with two motors (one Azimuth, one elevation), 208-230 VAC 50 or 60 Hz single phase. 
An IEC receptacle is the standard power input. The IEC rocker switch illuminates red when in the ON position. 
Current draw is fused at 6.3 A maximum. The motor drive, in conjunction with the provided command set, controls the 

movement of the unit. 10 M (32.8 ft) fiber-optic cable provided.

 

 
The 208-230 VAC motor power inlet is operated by an illuminated switch, and the inlet for the customer’s EUT is 
operated by a non-illuminated switch. Labels on the top surface of the motor base indicate the location of each inlet.
