5.5 POLARIZATION LIMITS
TracStar Systems Controller uses the polarization potentiometer voltage to determine limits. The
controller drives to 0° pol when it stows. The AvL positioner has the mechanical capability of +/-92.5
degrees per section 3.3 of the TracStar Systems Controller Manual. If the Controller Fails to terminate
power to the motor and the system is driven to a hard limit stop, the DC motor will stall. To correct, reset
the pol jam error in the controller.
5.6 FEED ASSEMBLY
The feed assembly consists of the feed, the polarization drive, and the polarization potentiometer. The
elevation inclinometer is also mounted on the inside of feed motor drive box.
The feed assembly is installed as a complete unit and secured to lower feed bracket. (Fig. 5.1) The feed
horn is mechanically positioned with a template within 1/8" of the theoretical focal point of the reflector.
This positioning assures the RF System provides the gain and FCC compliance as stated in the
specifications.
