Service friendly system
The system configuration is saved in several modules, there is no loss of data at repair.
There is a switch in the ADU to turn off the power to the antenna. All modules have an
LED status indicator. Each module is encapsulated in a metal box with self-contained
mounting bolts. If necessary, belts and modules can be exchanged through the service
hatch on site for the SAILOR 1000 XTR GX-R2 antennas.
You can do remote diagnostics and service. The built-in test equipment of the antenna
checks constantly the antenna modules for proper functioning, it monitors and logs
information for all modules. The ADU performs a POST (Power On Self Test) and you
can request a self test (PAST, Person Activated Self Test). Continuous Monitoring (CM)
is always enabled. Error codes are read out in the web interface and in the display of
the BDU. ADU software is updated automatically when making a software update
through the BDU.

The SAILOR XTR GX-R2 ADU is a 103cm or 65 cm VSAT stabilized tracking antenna,
consisting of a suspended antenna with a standard global RF configuration. It is
stabilized by heavy-duty vibration dampers in 3-axis and can be used in environments
with elevations of -20° to +120° for SAILOR 1000 XTR GX-R2 and -20° to +128° for SAILOR
600 XTR GX-R2. The SAILOR 1000 XTR GX-R2 antenna weighs 105 kg, and the SAILOR
600 XTR GX-R2 antenna weighs 37 kg. The antenna is powered by the BDU and
protected by a radome. All communication between the ADU and the BDU passes
through a single standard 50 Ohm cable (with N connector) through the rotary joint.
No cable work is required inside the radome. The antenna has 4 LAN connectors and a
DC power outlet in the ADU to connect third-party equipment.The SAILOR 1000 XTR
GX-R2 antenna comes with lifting brackets pre-mounted. The SAILOR 600 XTR GX-R2
