Coast Setting
The RC1-H has the ability to add an antenna Coast setting. This setting is in degrees
(up to 10) that will disengage the motor a few degrees early to allow your heading to be
a little more accurate when the antenna comes to a stop. Users, make sure your brake
delay is longer than it takes for the antenna to coast. Be mindful that when you are
coming up against the rotors hard, mechanical stops, that this feature will not help.
Also, when automatic GOTO or computer settings are invoked, changes less than 20
degrees will not use the coast setting.
Reverse LCD
The RC1-H has the ability to reverse the pixels on the LCD screen. The normal or
default look is white numbers on a blue background. By setting Reverse, you may see
blue numbers on a white background, which could aid in viewing the screen if your
vision is impaired.
Northstop
If you have an older HAM rotor where the mechanical stop is at North instead of South,
you need this function. First, calibrate the rotor. Then select this menu and then hit the
encoder knob to say Yes to North stop.
Brake Delay
The RC1-H has a default brake delay timer of 1.0 seconds. After the motor is stopped,
the RC1-H will time ‘brake delay number of seconds, then turn off the brake solenoid,
engaging the brake. This only applies to units with a brake. You may adjust the brake
delay up to 5.0 seconds. If you also use the Coast feature, make sure your brake delay
is long enough to allow your antenna to coast to that heading.
