SPECIFICATION & OPTIONS

INTRAC-305

OPTIONS

A number of options are available for the INTRAC-305.

 

 

The options are described in the following pages. Some of

 

 

these options require changes to the firmware or hardware

 

 

and some are only available when ordered at the time of

 

 

initial order.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Serial Interfaces only need a change to switch and / or

 

 

connector positions within the INTRAC.

 

 

Voltage

The power supply unit (or units for Dual Redundant PSU

 

 

option) of the INTRAC-305 auto switch for nominal mains

 

 

voltages of 110Vac or 220Vac.

 

 

 

Tracking Signal

The INTRAC-305 can be supplied with an integral L-band

 

 

beacon receiver (IBRL). Alternatively a voltage, from an

 

 

external receiver, which varies directly with the received

 

 

signal strength in dB may be used. The IBRL option should

 

 

be specified at time of initial order.

 

 

Serial Interfaces

There are three communication ports on the INTRAC-305,

 

 

“Remote Port”, “Test Port 1” and “Test Port 2”. The Remote

 

 

Port is configured for RS232/RS423. Test Ports 1& 2 can be

 

 

independently configured as either RS423 or RS422.

 

 

This involves connecting the rear panel connectors to the

 

 

appropriate connectors on the main board and setting the

 

 

option links as shown below.

Polarisation

If the antenna has motorised polarisation the INTRAC can be

 

user configured to control the polarisation angle. Polarisation

 

uses the standard Andrew polarisation resolver.

Note

The standard version of the INTRAC-305 is firmware

 

configured for a Pol resolver geared 1:1 to the polarisation

 

tube. Firmware for a Pol resolver geared 2:1 to the

 

polarisation tube is available if required. Note this is a
