Flag Offset During initialization azimuth drives the antenna CW until the Home Flag Switch senses the trailing edge of the metal tab as shown in the picture The sensor will appear to go past the metal tab then come back to the trailing edge of the metal tab and stay there This home position orients the pedestal to the BOW reference in the radome which is directly forward of the entry hatch in the radome base The Home Flag signal into the PCU presets the relative position counter to the value stored in the Home Flag Offset default value saved in the PCUs is 000 This assures that the encoder input increments and decrements from this initialization value therefore does not have to be precision aligned The metal Home Flag tab is mounted in a nylon clamp assembly The nylon bolt nut can be loosened to rotate the clamp around underneath the power ring as shown in the center picture above In the simplest scenario if you could rotate the antenna pedestal to be in line with the bow and then rotate the home flag clamp assembly around until the trailing edge is centered on the body of the home flag sensor and tighten the clamp would be set close enough for Optimizing Targeting procedure to be effective Unfortunately rarely is the equipment going to align where the clamp and sensor will be easy to access reach and see to align it this way The screws in the belt retainer ring plate below the Home
