firmware change and required the EPROM on the interface
card to be changed.
Mount Type Two types of antenna mount may be used with the INTRAC.
An Az/El mount or a Polar mount. The appropriate one is
selected in “Fitted Options” as AZ/El or Hr-Ang/Declination.
Resolver Type The INTRAC-305 is intended for use with standard Andrew
resolvers, either x2 or x1 versions. Normally the INTRAC-305
is to replace an Andrew APC300 and the antenna will have
been fitted with x2 resolvers. Refer to the earlier specification
section. This is a user configuration option.
Stow Option There is provision in the INTRAC-305 configuration for Az/El
preliminary and final stow positions to be set.
The “Stow” command causes the antenna to be driven to the
preliminary position in both axes. Once at this position the
antenna is driven to the final position.
The “Unstow” command causes the pin(s) to be removed
(where appropriate) and the antenna driven to the preliminary
position.
The preliminary and/or final positions can be set to “not-
used” for one or both axes.
Dual Redundant PSU The INTRAC-305 can be supplied with dual redundant power
supplies. In this option the single PSU is replaced by two
indepenent PSUs and associated combining hardware.
Independent switched power inlets are provided and the
front panel power switch is replaced by status LEDs. The
INTRAC-305 will operate normally when either or both PSUs
are operational. This option must be requiested at time of
initial order
