rotators. Function can be turned off assigning rotator to “Tower 0 (zero)”.
NOTE:
When
Tower
assignment is changed, even for just one rotator, configuration for all Rotator controllers
must be updated (stored again).
•
Idle
Sets delay between stop of one rotator and start of another when they are assigned to the same Tower.
•
Azimuth offset
Defines angular displacement between the superior rotator and current rotator at the center of their span.
Rotator control from the Router
Each rotator can be controlled from Router using these
controls:
•
CW
Rotator moves clockwise while this button is held.
•
CCW
Rotator moves counter clockwise while this button is held.
•
Start
Rotator moves to the entered azimuth in range from 0 - 359 deg after clicking on this button. While
rotator is moving, clicking the
Stop
button will stop the movement immediately.
•
Stop
Stops rotator movement.
•
Memory
Four memory buttons can be used for quick azimuth selection. Each button can be set to a custom
azimuth and identified by a label up to 4 characters long. Once memories are defined and stored to
SMD, they can be recalled with the rotary encoder or a PS/2 keypad attached to the PS/2 jack.
IMPORTANT:
Changes in Parameters are not effective until they have been stored in the Control Box with the
Store Settings or Store Memories
button. Multiple parameters can be changed at once and stored with
a single click on the Store buttons. SMD internal rotator parameters and memories are also stored with
SMD configuration at Control Boxes tab. Same is applicable to rotator parameters for uLINK DATA or
uLINK ROTATOR modules, parameters are stored to modules at Control Boxes tab as well.
NOTE:
Azimuth preset memories are located in the SMD and are same for all rotators included in the setup, it is
not necessary to store them separately for each rotator.
