RC3000 Antenna Controller Chapter 3 Detailed Operation

3.2.1.2 Waveguide Switch

For mounts equipped with the optional waveguide switch control module, manual control of the waveguide switch may be initiated via the MANUAL mode.

NOTE: The WAVEGUIDE SWITCH configuration item on the System Definition screen (3.3.1.2.1) must be set in order for software to allow the changing of the waveguide switch position from the Manual mode.

When a waveguide switch is present, the Manual mode screen appears as shown below:

AZIM:	0.0	STOW	SS1: 50	MANUAL
ELEV: -42.5		DOWN	SAT:TELSTAR	402
POL:	30.0	V	SPD:FAST WAVE:H		CST
<0-9>JOG<BKSP>WAVE			<MODE>MENU	14:25:47

WAVE:

This field shows the currently sensed position of the waveguide switch. “H” denotes the horizontal position, “V” the vertical, “?” indicates that neither position is sensed and “*” indicates that both H and V are sensed (probably an error condition).

Pressing the BKSP button will toggle the switch position. During the switch transition, a “+” will be displayed when going to the H position and a “-“ will be shown while going to the V position. Note that after 5 seconds the switching operation will timeout and drive voltage will be stopped if the desired position has not been sensed.
