Introduction
2.1.1.5 Service friendly
The system configuration is saved in two modules, there is no loss of
data at repair. The large service hatch of the radome gives easy
access to the ADU on site. The service switch in the ADU stops the
DC Motor Driver modules. The service tools for replacing modules
are placed on a tool holder inside the radome.
All modules have a service and power LED status indicator. Each
module is encapsulated in a metal box with self-contained
mounting bolts.
If necessary, belts and modules can be exchanged through the
service hatch on site.
You can do remote diagnostics and service with the ADU. Its built-in
test equipment checks constantly the ADU’s components for proper
functioning, it monitors and logs information for all modules. The
ADU performs a POST (Power On Self Test) and you can request a
self test (PAST, Person Activated Self Test) and Continuous
Monitoring (CM). Error codes can be read out in the web interface,
the Control Panel and in the display of the ACU.
ADU software is updated automatically when making a software
update of the ACU.
2.1.2 Antenna Control Unit (ACU)
The ACU is the central unit in the system. It manages all
communication to the ADU. The ACU has a display, status LEDs and
a keypad for viewing system parameters. Setup and configuration of
satellite profiles is done using a PC or the Control Panel. During
configuration you can configure heading, manage satellite profiles
and enter blocking zones where the ADU can be expected not to
receive a TV signal.
The ACU provides DC power to the ADU through a single coaxial
cable. You can use the SAILOR 6080 Power Supply to provide the DC
power for the ACU.
