ATC200-Lite Teletilt® Remote Control Downtilt System Section 9–Device Test, Alarm Status, Device Info.

9.3 Clearing All Alarms on a Device

After examining the alarms status results, any alarms found may be cleared using the ‘Clear Alarms’ button.

1. Click on the device in the ‘Device In-	Figure 9-4. Alarms Cleared.
formation’ list that has an alarm to be
cleared.

2.Click on the ‘Clear Alarms’ button to clear any current alarms that have been declared by the device.

3.After all alarms have been cleared for the device, a pop-up notification will display to notify the user that all alarms are clear (Figure 9-4).

4.Click ‘OK’ to dismiss the ‘Clear Alarms’ pop-up notification (Figure 9-4).

9.4 Executing a Self Test Movement for a Device

Andrew’s ATM200 actuators support the AISG self test command. This feature allows the user to periodically perform a test by temporarily making a small tilt angle movement on the device. This test enables the user to verify that the actuator’s motor is operational and capable of adjusting electrical tilt on the antenna. The movement executed as part of the self test is designed to be so small as to not disrupt the current data/voice traffic. The movement is +/-

0.2degrees to either side of the current downtilt angle, with a return to the original downtilt angle at the end of the movement.

Note that if the current downtilt angle on the antenna is sufficiently close to the minimum or maximum possible angle, the actuator may modify the test movement range of motion or ignore the test movement command altogether.
