19. 7 3 2 Initialization Sequence A functional operation check can be made on the antenna stabilization system by observing its behavior during the 4 phases of initialization Step 1 Turn on the AC power switch at the ACU front panel Verify the level platform motor drives the level cage CCW to the stop and then CW 45 degrees Step 2 Verify the antenna moves forward or back to bring the top of the level cage to a level position in the for aft direction This step takes approximately 10 seconds and will result in the dish being at 45 degrees in elevation The level cage may still be tilted left or right at this time Step 3 After the level cage is positioned in the for aft direction verify the antenna moves left or right to bring the top of the level cage to a level position in the left right direction This step takes approximately 10 seconds Step 4 After the level cage is positioned in the left right direction verify the antenna moves CW up in azimuth to the 700 0 degrees and then down CCW to 630 0 Relative position From this point on the Encoder will increment and or decrement the Relative position of the antenna The antenna will report the PCUs Model number amp Software version to the DAC 2202 ACU If any of theses steps fail or the DAC 2202 reports model number as 04 re configure the PCU as described in section the Setup section of this manual If initialization still fails refer to the troubleshooting information below

Audio amp S Video or SCART cable connections may be made between the satellite receiver and the television 3 3 5 Television Monitor An appropriate television monitor is used to view the satellite television programming and the on screen displays from the receiver Your television monitor must be able to display the video standard outputted from the satellite receiver In some areas the satellite receiver may pass several different video formats depending on the program being watched You may need a video standards converter for each television monitor which is not capable of displaying the signal being received NTSC PAL or SECAM video input Multi Standard televisions monitors are able to automatically display any of the major video standard inputs Consult your Television Monitor manual for specifics 3 3 6 Matrix Switch The Matrix Switch routes the satellite signal from one of the IF cables to one of your receivers As you change channels on the satellite receiver it uses the voltage and or tone to select the correct signal input for the channel you have selected Each output of the matrix switch is controlled by voltage and or tone from the satellite receiver connected to that output connector Voltage level on the coax selects which polarity Tone selects which band of the input signals gets routed to that output connector therefore to that receiver Each output of the matrix switch operates independently of the others therefo

DLA Circular LNB This LNB is used to receive DirecTV Latin America programming European Quad Universal Linear LNB This LNB is very popular for use in Europe It can be used to receive low band horizontal amp vertical AND OR high band horizontal amp vertical linear services at the same time It can be used to receive one high band satellite or one low band satellite Or it can receive both high amp low band satellites at the same time as long as they are at the same longitude position It can NOT be used to receive two satellites at different longitude locations at the same time 3 2 6 Stabilization The Series 04 antennas are stabilized in three axes of motion Stabilization is the process of de coupling the ships motion from the antenna Simply put this allows the antenna to remain pointed at the satellite while the boat turns rolls or pitches under it To accomplish this the Pedestal Control Unit PCU on the antenna pedestal senses any motion of the antenna and immediately applies drive to the appropriate motor s to oppose the sensed motion Azimuth AZ Elevation EL and Cross Level left right tilt are actively stabilized automatically by the PCU as part of its normal operation 3 2 7 Search Pattern Whenever the desired satellite signal is lost such as when the antenna is blocked the Antenna Control Unit will automatically initiate a search to re acquire the desired signal The search is conducted with alternate azimut

CU uses inputs from the level cage sensors to calculate the amount of torque required in each axis to keep the antenna pointed within 0 5 degrees The primary sensor input for each loop is the rate sensor mounted in the Level Cage Assembly This sensor reports all motion of the antenna to the PCU The PCU immediately responds by applying a torque in the opposite direction to the disturbance to bring the antenna back to its desired position Both the instantaneous output of the rate sensor Velocity Error and the integrated output of the rate sensor Position Error are used to achieve the high pointing accuracy specification The calculated torque commands sent to each of three Brush Less Servo Amplifiers These amplifiers provide the proper drive polarities and commutation required to operate the Brush Less DC Servo Motors in torque mode The Torque acting on the mass of the antenna cause it to move restoring the rate sensors to their original position and closing the control loop Since the rate sensors only monitor motion and not absolute position a second input is required in each axis as a long term reference to keep the antenna from slowly drifting in position The Level and Cross Level reference is provided by a two axis tilt sensor in the level cage assembly The Azimuth reference is provided by combining the ships gyro compass input and the antenna relative position 7 2 Series 04 Ku Band TVRO Antenna Troubleshooting and Maintenance
