Display of the Antenna State 

INIT  (Initializing):  The  ACU  displays  ‘INIT’  on  the  LCD  when  the  antenna  is 

initializing.   

SRCH(Searching):  The  ACU  displays  ‘SRCH’  on  the  LCD  when  the  antenna  is 

searching for the satellite. 

TRCK(Tracking):  The  ACU  displays  ‘TRCK’  on  the  LCD  when  the  antenna  is 

tracking the satellite. 

SFAIL(Searching  Fail):  The  ACU  displays  ‘SFAIL’  on  the  LCD  when  antenna  isn’t 

searching for the satellite for 3 minutes or you select a different area from your area. 

E:006.3,  N:049.4(GPS  data):  The  ACU  continuously  displays  the  GPS  data  on  the 

LCD. If KA-80 ACU is connected with ship’s gyro, the ACU displays the ship’s heading 

instead of the roll and pitch, yaw angle, as shown in Fig 3-5 below. 

PI(Pitch angle): The ACU displays ‘PI:000.0’ on the LCD. It is calculated pitch angle 

of vessel by PCU 

RO(Roll angle): The ACU displays ‘RO:000.0’ on the LCD. It is calculated roll angle 

of vessel by PCU 

YA(Yaw angle): The ACU displays ‘YA:000.0’ on the LCD. It is calculated yaw angle 

of vessel by PCU 

 

HALT: If the antenna experiences the same control error twice within 3 minutes, the 

PCU  isn’t  supplying  the  torque  to  all  motors  to  protect  the  antenna.  In  this  case, 

the ACU will display ‘HALT’ on the LCD. The antenna continues in ‘halt’ mode until 

the ACU power has been reset. 

 

 

Figure 3-5 Display of tracking on gyro mode   

 

NOTE:  For  the  first  power-on  of  the  GPS  antenna,  it  will  take  about  5  minutes  to 

calculate your location from the GPS satellites’ signals and configure the database.
