5.2.2 Installation and Configuration
There are some notes that must be taken into account before starting with
the operation of the Autotracking system.
To warranty that the Autotracking system installation has been correctly done
and calibrated, the next steps must be followed:
First, make sure that the Parabolic Antenna is connected to the IF Input 1, it
cannot be connected to the IF Input from 2 to 8.
QPT Positioner must be calibrated. This means that it must be straightened
and oriented 0 degrees to the North. The North orientation can be done via
an external Compass and the unit can automatically be straightened by the
use of an external Inclinometer. In addition, for a correct operation, the QPT
Positioner must be configured as RS-422 communication. Please note that
Autotracking connector's RS-422 port communication speed is of 57600 baud
rate.
QPT Positioner and Inclinometer are connected to the AUTOTRACKING
Bayonet 19 pins connector and can be powered directly by the Receiver or by
an external power supply. The power output provided is 24V when the
Receiver is powered by AC power. When the Receiver is powered in DC, the
same input voltage will be provided to the Positioner and Inclinometer. Please
make sure that the input DC voltage do not exceed the voltage range
supported by the QPT Positioner (max.28 VDC).
Local GPS Receiver and Compass can be connected to the Receiver’s LOCAL
GPS & COMPASS DB-9 connector or to the AUTOTRACKING Bayonet 19 pins
connector, but not to both at the same time.
When the Compass is connected to the AUTOTRACKING connector, it can be
powered directly by this connector.
The GPS antennas of the Compass must be installed at a minimum 2
meters of distance between them.
