Test

 

The

 

Motor:

    

Check

 

continuity

 

between

 

ground

 

(the

 

motor

 

connector

 

back

 

shell)

 

and

 

the

 

3

 

driver

 

outputs

 

on

 

pins

 

1,

 

2

 

and

 

3

 

of

 

the

 

harness.

  

Now

 

check

 

continuity

 

between

 

pins

 

4,

 

5,

 

6,

 

7,

 

8

 

and

 

the

 

ground

 

(the

 

motor

 

connector

 

back

 

shell).

  

Or

 

this

 

might

 

be

 

steps

 

in

 

a

 

procedure

 

that

 

does

 

not

 

require

 

a

 

table.

 

Also

 

check

 

between

 

the

 

individual

 

pins

 

1,

 

2,

 

3

 

and

 

the

 

rest

 

of

 

the

 

pins

 

(i.e.

 

test

 

pin

 

1

 

to

 

pin

 

4,

 

5,

 

6,

 

7,

 

8

 

and

 

so

 

on,

 

not

 

between

 

pins

 

1

 

and

 

2,

 

1

 

and

 

3

 

or

 

2

 

and

 

3).

   

If

 

there

 

is

 

any

 

continuity

 

measured

 

on

 

the

 

steps

 

mentioned

 

above,

 

the

 

motor

 

is

 

defective

 

(which

 

would

 

be

 

highlighted

 

by

 

the

 

diagnostic

 

LEDs

 

on

 

the

 

MDE).

 

The

 

antennas

 

operation

 

should

 

be

 

verified

 

with

 

a

 

replacement

 

motor.

 

If

 

normal

 

operation

 

doesn’t

 

return

 

the

 

MDE/PCU

 

will

 

require

 

further

 

troubleshooting.

   

 

9.

 

Verify

 

Stabilization:

    

The

 

purpose

 

of

 

this

 

procedure

 

is

 

to

 

physically

 

move

 

the

 

systems

 

axis

 

under

 

static

 

conditions,

 

introducing

 

error

 

into

 

the

 

PCU’s

 

control

 

loop,

 

and

 

then

 

verify

 

the

 

system

 

is

 

able

 

to

 

return

 

to

 

its

 

level

 

position

 

(stabilize

 

itself).

 

These

 

tests

 

can

 

be

 

performed

 

by

 

monitoring

 

the

 

sensor

 

outputs

 

on

 

DacRemP

 

or

 

also

 

by

 

physically

 

moving

 

the

 

antenna

 

and

 

observing

 

how

 

it

 

responds.

 

 

1.

 

Turn

 

tracking

 

off

 

and

 

open

 

the

 

DISP_V

 

screen

 

of

 

DacRemP.

 

The

 

software

 

will

 

now

 

plot

 

the

 

level

 

position

 

of

 

the

 

LV

 

and

 

CL

 

MEM

 

sensors.

 

Observe

 

for

 

any

 

abnormalities.

 

2.

 

Verify

 

Cross

 

Level

 

response:

 

 

Standing

 

behind

 

the

 

system,

 

push

 

the

 

cross

 

level

 

beam

 

down

 

to

 

the

 

left

 

and

 

hold

 

it

 

in

 

position.

 

Verify

 

that

 

the

 

CL

 

trace

 

on

 

DacRemP

 

moves

 

down

 

an

 

equal

 

amount

 

to

 

the

 

movement

 

exerted

 

on

 

the

 

axis.

 

Release

 

the

 

axis

 

and

 

verify

 

the

 

DacRemP

 

trace

 

and

 

system

 

axis

 

both

 

return

 

back

 

to

 

their

 

original

 

positions

 

instantly,

 

without

 

deviating

 

or

 

taking

 

time

 

to

 

settle.

 

Now

 

push

 

the

 

cross

 

level

 

beam

 

down

 

to

 

the

 

right

 

and

 

hold

 

it

 

in

 

position.

 

Verify

 

that

 

the

 

CL

 

trace

 

on

 

DacRemP

 

moves

 

up

 

an

 

equal

 

amount

 

to

 

the

 

movement

 

exerted

 

on

 

the

 

axis.

 

Release

 

the

 

axis

 

and

 

verify

 

the

 

DacRemP

 

trace

 

and

 

system

 

axis

 

both

 

return

 

back

 

to

 

their

 

original

 

positions

 

instantly,

 

without

 

deviating

 

or

 

taking

 

time

 

to

 

settle.

 

3.

 

 

Verify

 

Level

 

(Elevation)

 

response:

  

Push

 

the

 

reflector

 

up

 

in

 

elevation

 

and

 

hold

 

it

 

in

 

position.

 

Verify

 

that

 

the

 

LV

 

trace

 

on

 

DacRemP

 

moves

 

down

 

an

 

equal

 

amount

 

to

 

the

 

movement

 

exerted

 

on

 

the

 

axis.

 

Release

 

the

 

axis

 

and

 

verify

 

the

 

DacRemP

 

trace

 

and

 

system

 

axis

 

both

 

return

 

back

 

to

 

their

 

original

 

positions

 

instantly,

 

without

 

deviating

 

or

 

taking

 

time

 

to

 

settle.

 

Push

 

the

 

reflector

 

down

 

in

 

elevation

 

and

 

hold

 

it

 

in

 

position.

 

Verify

 

that

 

the

 

LV

 

trace

 

on

 

DacRemP

 

moves

 

up

 

an

 

equal

 

amount

 

to

 

the

 

movement

 

exerted

 

on

 

the

 

axis.

 

Release

 

the

 

axis

 

and

 

verify

 

the

 

DacRemP

 

trace

 

and

 

system

 

axis

 

both

 

return

 

back

 

to

 

their

 

original

 

positions

 

instantly,

 

without

 

deviating

 

or

 

taking

 

time

 

to

 

settle.

  

4.

 

In

 

DacRemP,

 

the

 

trace

 

should

 

look

 

similar

 

to

 

the

 

below

 

image.

 

Note

 

how

 

after

 

each

 

movement

 

the

 

system

 

returns

 

to

 

its

 

level

 

position

 

efficiently

 

without

 

taking

 

time

 

to

 

settle.
