7.2.2.8 Elevation Resolver (optional)
The on axis resolver may be used for more precise motion control. Resolvers are generally used for
the elevation and azimuth axis. The resolver is an on-axis sensor and is generally located on the
pivot points of the unit to provide highly accurate angular data. This sensor is primarily used in
precision movements such as peaking.

7.2.2.9 Elevation Limit Switches
The elevation limit or stow switch is actuated by a cam on the “elevation capstan” or the on “axis
pivot drum”. The location of the switch(s) will vary depending on model.
The elevation Up and Down switches can also be actuated by a cam on the elevation capstan or the
on axis pivot drum. The location of the switches will vary depending on model.
Elevation physical switches are generally used in conjunction with the soft (software created)
switches. These are predetermined by the controller and may not always be present depending on
model.
