Antenna Angle
Enter
Setup Mode
to modify settings.
Sets current antenna position and LNB pol angle. You can move the antenna's
azimuth and elevation position and LNB pol angle by using the arrows or
inputting a value to find the desired satellite manually.
• Relative Azimuth: Displays the antenna relative azimuth angle.
• Absolute Azimuth: sets the antenna absolute azimuth angle.
• Elevation: sets the elevation angle.
• LNB Pol Angle: sets the LNB pol angle
3
Thresholds
Setting
Sets current detect level threshold and tracking level threshold.
• Detect Level: sets the current detect level threshold.
• Tracking Level: sets the current tracking level threshold.
• Tx Enable: sets the Tx enable threshold.
Click the
Apply
button to apply the settings to the system.
4
Search
Parameter
Sets the time-out, search step and search range.
• Wait Time (sec): sets the time-out for automatic initiation of a search after the
signal level drops below the pre-defined threshold value.
• Search Step(º): sets increment step size.
• Search1/3: sets Search 1 & 3 search range. Search is conducted in a two-
axis pattern consisting of alternate movements in azimuth and elevation to
form an expanding square.
• Search2: this is reserved for future use.
Click the
Apply
button to apply the settings to the system.
5
Conical Range
The relative force of the motors controlling azimuth and elevation. Sets the
conical range while the antenna is in tracking mode.
Click the
Apply
button to apply the settings to the system.
6
Conical Range
Check
Enter
Setup Mode
to modify settings.
Monitors the Azimuth and the elevation value when the conical range is
modified.
• Switch Activation: choose whether to use the switch activation function or
not (On / Off).
Click the
Apply
button to apply the settings to the system.
7
Sensor
Calibration
Enter
Setup Mode
to modify settings.
Adjusts the elevation to offset the angle difference between the mechanical
elevation angle and actual elevation angle.
Click the
Apply
button to apply the settings to the system.
8
Tilt Sensor Bias
NOTE
: The tilt values of the elevation and cross-level axes were calibrated
to the optimal condition at the factory prior to shipment. However, when the
antenna MCU unit or fixed sensor unit is replaced, the elevation and the cross-
level axes must be checked by adjusting tilt and rate sensor value. Refer to the
replacement manual for detailed procedures. The separate device (e.g. level
indicator) for manual adjustment is not provided by Intellian.
Enter
Setup Mode
to modify settings.
Maintain the elevation and the cross-level axes in order to keep the pedestal
parallel to the horizon.
• Ready: click the
Ready
button to bring the elevation and cross-level to 0.
• EL/CL: select
EL/CL
and click the Up and Down arrow keys to adjust the
elevation and cross-level.
Click the
Restart
button on the top menu to restarts the antenna system.
