7.9. Pedestal Control Unit Configuration (xx97B & xx00)
The PCU is designed to be used with a variety of antenna pedestal configurations. The configuration information that
is unique to each pedestal type is stored in a Non Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM) in the PCU enclosure. If
the PCU is replaced or the NVRAM in the PCU should become corrupt, the PCU must be re-configured to operate with
the pedestal it is installed on. The default configuration for the PCU is model xx97B. In this configuration the PCU will
not drive any of the three torque motors to prevent damage to the unknown pedestal.
To configure the PCU, select the REMOTE COMMAND window on the DAC-2202. Refer to the table below to key in
the appropriate value for you model antenna.

and press ENTER. The display should now show "N0211".
