INTRAC-305

INTRODUCTION

A Typical System

	The antenna position resolvers provide direction information
	to the INTRAC. The IBR-L (beacon receiver) provides
	tracking signal strength. (A signal strength derived dc voltage
	from an external receiver may be used in place of the
	Advantech AMT IBR-L)
	The Motor Drive Cabinet receives the antenna drive
	commands from the INTRAC and drives the azimuth,
	elevation and polarisation (option) motors and brake
	assemblies.
	Limit switches on the antenna prevent it from being moved
	beyond mechanically defined positions.
	The INTRAC-305 may be controlled from its front panel or
	from an optional PC based Remote Control and Monitoring
	Terminal.
Retro Fitting	Existing Step Track or Program Track installations may be
	updated to INTRAC systems. Advantech AMT Ltd. have
	considerable experience of retro fitting INTRAC systems.
