RC3000 Antenna Controller

Chapter 3

Detailed Operation

If the mount is equipped with resolvers, two elevation resolver calibration items are included with the normal inclinometer calibration items.

RES: 0.0REV:0

SET REFERENCE VOLTAGE <0.50 – 3.50>

RES: ELEV RESOLVER OFFSET<+/-300.00 DEGREES>

The elev_resolver_offset configuration item defines the offset to be applied to the angle read directly from the elevation resolver for the purpose of displaying elevation angle. Example: If when at the elevation reference (deploy) position the raw elevation resolver angle reads 180.0, a elev_resolver_offset of -157.7 will result in a resolver based elevation angle of 22.3.

NOTE: the resolver-based angle is displayed in MANUAL mode when the elevation DOWN limit is active.

REV: ELEV RESOLVER<0-NORMAL 1-REVERSED>

The elev_resolver_reversed configuration item defines whether the polarity of the elevation resolver matches that of the RC3000 resolver circuitry. If the raw elevation resolver angle decreases as the mount moves up, the elev_resolver_reversed item must be described as reversed.
