Series 04 Ku-Band TVRO Antenna
Troubleshooting and Maintenance
CCW is required to maintain a 90°Cross-Level position).
• The Level display should decrease (plots below red line) as the antenna requires drive
forward (Up in elevation) and increase (plots above red line) as the antenna requires drive
back (Down in elevation).
• Example: The antenna pictured in the screen capture below is imbalanced so that it is
“Front Heavy”. The LV trace is plotting above the red line (indicating that drive CW is
required to maintain the current elevation position).
• The Azimuth display should decrease (plots below red line) as the antenna is driven CCW
and increase (plots above red line) as the antenna is rotated CW.
7.3.8. Open Loop Motor Test
The DacRemP Comm Diagnostics Window provides a means to enter in Remote Commands for
driving each individual torque motor to test that motors functionality. By driving each axis and
observing the resulting motion of the antenna, a coarse operational status of the motor and motor
driver may be established.
• To manually drive the motors, select the “Comm
Diagnostics” window under to the Tools
submenu or Press “CTRL + C”
• Using the small field in the upper left hand corner
of the window, type in the remote command and
verify the motor appropriately drives in the
