OPERATIONAL

MODES

The

MSP995

Dish

Positioner

has

three

main

operational

modes:

normal,

program

and

set

limits.

There

is

a

front

panel

LED

for

each

mode

which

illuminates

when

the

Positioner

is

in

the

corresponding

mode.

The

Positioner

goes

into

normal

mode

when

it

comes

out

of

standby.

In

normal

mode

you

move

the

dish

by

keying

in

a

position

number

which

is

then

displayed

on

the

front

panel.

The

position

number

will

be

one

that

you

have

previously

programmed

into

the

Positioner.

While

you

are

in

normal

mode,

if

you

press

the

EAST

or

WEST

key

on

the

handset

momentarily,

the

Positioner

will

go

into

program

mode

but

the

dish

will

not

move.

If

you

hold

down

the

EAST

or

WEST

key

whilst

in

normal

mode

the

MSP995

will

enter

program

mode

and

the

dish

will

move

in

the

selected

direction.

The

position

is

indicated

by

a

3-digit

setting.

The

three

digits

indicate

the

distance

moved

from

the

Eastern-most

limit

of

the

dish's

panning

range.

In

program

mode

you

can

program

this

actual

position

of

the

dish

against

a

position

number

of

your

choice.

You

can

also

set

up

and

store

polarisation

information

for

that

position

whilst

in

program

mode.

In

practice

you

may

need

to

limit

the

panning

movement

of

the

dish

by

setting

East

and

Westlimits.

This

will,

for

example,

prevent

the

dish

moving

into

fixed

objects

or

areas

where

its

reception

is

affected

in

some

way.

You

set

these

limits

in

the

set

limits

mode.
