Dawnco 8060 Series Instrucciones de funcionamiento

The VS61FAE 6.1 Meter Earth Station Antenna

features corrugated conical feed horns to ensure excellent

antenna gain and sidelobe performance. Sixteen high-

strength aluminum panels are durable enough to withstand

a range of environmental conditions. Antenna panels

mount to radial trusses attached to a central hub.

The VS61FAE hub also provides a enclosure for sensitive

electronics. high-strength structural steel tripod

mount employs an elevation-over-azimuth geometry for

easy pointing to any satellite within the visible orbital arc.

Rugged construction provides pointing

accuracy for continuous operation, even under adverse

wind conditions.

TheVS61FAE includes a galvanized structural steel tripod

mount with a continuous 115° of motorized azimuth

coverage in three overlapping sectors. An optional

TORQUETUBE™ configuration adds continuous 180°

motorized azimuth coverage.
