RF Design ARC40 - Antenna Remote Controller.

TheARC-40 is an antenna-remote-controller designed in a 1RU/19" chassis. The unit is usable for motorized antennas, multi-feed systems, back-up antenna control in redundant satellite receive and distribution headends, flexible antenna systems, L-Band back up switching in Satellite downlink stations and cable headends while it features one-axis polarmount control, two-axis positioner with dual feed system and remote control via GLOBUSS-NMS or SNMP.

Local control can be realized via a front-side LC-Display and 5 buttons. The unit is multifunctional while it can be used universally as 1, 2 or 3 axis controller. It can drive positioner motors with 24 or 36 VDC voltage. The response of the antenna position can be made by Reed contacts, hall sensors, optical sensors or potentiometers. Two limit switches per axis can be monitored (East / West, respectively Up / down). In addition, a magnetic or mechanical polarizer can be connected. To compensate the loss of the supply lines the magnetic polarizer operates at a constant current source. Via manual start of any satellite and input of the latitude and longitude all other orbital positions will be calculated automatically.
