The DacRemP 

DISPV

 graph chart provides a means for monitoring the output of the 2 Axis Tilt Sensor and 

the Home Switch sensor for diagnostic purposes.  The Tilt sensor (located inside the Level Cage Assembly) is 
the primary input for the antenna’s reference to the horizon (0° Elevation and 90° Cross-Level).  While the 
Home Switch Sensor (located at the antenna base) is used to calibrate the antenna’s position relative to the 
vessels BOW. 

Reference Sensor Monitoring 

 

To view the reference sensors, select the 

 graph chart. 

 

This chart displays the output of the Tilt Sensor via two traces, CL (Cross Level), LV (Elevation) at a 
fixed 1

º

/ vertical division, and the home flag logic level via a single trace, AZ (Azimuth).
