7.3. Pedestal Control Unit Configuration – Series 09
The PCU is designed to be used with a variety of antenna pedestal models. So, the PCU must be configured correctly
for the model number of the antenna it is mounted on. The configuration information that is unique to each pedestal
model is stored in a Non Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM) in the PCU enclosure. If the PCU is replaced or
the NVRAM in the PCU should become corrupt, the PCU must be re-configured to operate with the pedestal it is
installed on. The default configuration for the PCU is model xx09. In this configuration the brakes will be open but
none of three torque motors (AZ, EL or C/L) will drive to prevent damage to the unknown pedestal.
7.3.1. To configure the PCU;
1. Select the REMOTE COMMAND window on the ACU.
2. Refer to the table below to key in the appropriate value for you model antenna to enter in the next
step. EXAMPLE: For a 5009 Model Antenna, select system type 0005.
3. Using the LEFT/RIGHT and UP/DOWN arrow keys set the Remote Command value to "N0005"
and press ENTER. The display should now show "N0005".
4. Press ENTER several times to select REMOTE PARAMETERS. Press LEFT arrow and then ENTER
to save the system type in the PCU.
5. Press RESET and the displayed Remote Version Number should now display "5009 VER 0.05".
