Install controller into electronics rack.  Connect cables to rear making sure P1 and P2 are connected to correct
sockets. (P1 to J1 AND P2 to J2)  

Confirm controller voltage

 

and fuse are correct

, if not, convert to correct

voltage by following instructions in the controller manual Section 2.2.1.  Connect AC power cable to controller.

2.3  CONTROLLER INSTALLATION

Turn power on.  Wait for self-check to complete.  Hit mode button once to reach display/function mode.  Press
deploy button to Deploy.  Antenna will drive until:

ELEVATION

20.0º

(approx.)

AZIMUTH

 0.0º

POLARIZATION

                 0.0º

Press speed button to change speed to FAST

HAVE SOMEONE OUTSIDE AND ELEVATED SO ANTENNA MOVEMENT CAN BE OBSERVED DURING TEST!

Push El UP button.  Antenna elevation reading should increase.  Move until elevation reads 20 degrees.  Place
inclinometer on feed boom tubes.  Inclinometer should indicate that feed boom tubes are 20º above horizontal.
(Note: The feed boom tubes are indicated on the interface drawing and are parallel to the antenna bore sight.) If not,
refer to the controller manual for elevation zero voltage setting.

Press AZ CW and AZ display should increase, and AZ should rotate CW as viewed from above the antenna.

Press AZ CCW and AZ display should decrease.

Press Pol CW and Pol display should increase.
Press Pol CCW and Pol display should decrease, and the feed AZ should rotate CW as viewed from behind the
reflector.

2.5  ELEVATION STOW POSITION SETTING

HAVE SOMEONE OUTSIDE AND ELEVATED SO ANTENNA MOVEMENT MAY BE OBSERVED DURING TEST!

Press mode key to change screens and Select STOW.

2.4  CONTROLLER/POSITIONER VERIFICATION TEST
