Directional Move
For single-axis rotators, use the
Speed
control to set the rotator rotation speed. Click
and hold the
Go Up
button to move the rotator up. Click and hold the
Go Down
button
to move the rotator down. Check the
Reverse Rotator Direction
box if your rotator
has been installed in a reversed position.
If you have a dual-axes rotator, you will be presented with arrow icons. Click the up
and down arrow icons to tilt up or down. Click the left and right arrows to pan left or
right. Check the
Switch Axes
box to invert the controls so that the up/down arrows are
used to pan and the left/right arrows are used to tilt. You can adjust the tilt and pan
speeds by dragging the sliders. Check the
Reversed Tilt Rotator Direction
box if your
rotator is installed with the tilt axis reversed. Check the
Reversed Pan Rotator Direction
box if your rotator is installed with the pan axis reversed.
Soft Stops
Check the
Use Soft Stops
box to use a software function to set the rotator stops, so
that the rotator will not rotate beyond the stops during operation. To avoid hitting
objects or twisting cables when rotating, hard stops (pins) are usually bolted onto the
rotator mount to stop rotation at predefined positions. However, soft stops allow you
to program the rotator stops in the M3 Sonar FLS software to mitigate mechanical
wear and avoid shearing the hard stops.
To set the soft stops, uncheck the
Use Soft Stops
box. Set up the soft stops by moving
the rotator until it reaches the limit where the attached devices or cables still have
clearance.
• Click the
Go Up
button/up arrow to move the rotator up to the desired position, then
click the
Set Up Stop
button.
• Click the
Go Down
button/down arrow to move the rotator down to the desired
position, then click the
Set Down Stop
button.
• Click the right arrow (dual-axes only) to move the rotator right to the desired
position, then click the
Set Right Stop
button.
• Click the left arrow (dual-axes only) to move the rotator left to the desired position,
then click the
Set Left Stop
button.
Re-check the
Use Soft Stops
box when you are done.
