System Description

Overview

The purpose of this User Guide is to describe the steps required to configure, initialize, and operate the ACS3000 Antenna Control System with SmarTrack®. All parameters are fully programmable and displayed from a PC running a Web Browser or an existing station monitor and control system.

Summary

The ACS3000 is a complete kit that provides precision three-axis control of all the Andrew earth antennas from 2.4 to 9.45 meters in size. The ACS3000 features the Andrew SmarTrack® predictive tracking mode that utilizes a patented Three-Point Peak Algorithm* that saves wear on the antenna motors and jacks.

Another new feature of the ACS 3000 is the VFD (Variable Frequency Drives) that allows the antenna ramp- up in speed as the antenna is commanded to move to a new target satellite, yet move at low speed when tracking and peaking up on a satellite. NORAD and INTELSAT program track modes are standard features included with this product and setup of these modes can be found after the system initialization section.
