INTRAC-305 INSTALLATION

6.INSTALLATION

Introduction	The INTRAC-305 Intelligent Tracking Antenna Controller is a
	direct physical replacement for the Andrew APC300 Antenna
	Steptrack Controller. All that is required for the installation is
	to remove the APC300 and replace it with the INTRAC-305
	and then set-up the INTRAC-305 for the antenna system.
	This section provides information on connections and set-up.
	The INTRAC-305 requires that certain parameters be set and
	certain information be input before it will be able to function
	correctly. Some of this information can be obtained from the
	APC300 but some will need to be obtained from other
	sources. The chart below gives the parameters required by
	the INTRAC-305. Four items under “Fitted Options” should
	be set to “Not Fitted” (as indicated) as they are not applicable
	to APC300 systems. For more information on these settings
	see section 3-Operation of this manual.
