1. Overview – Technical Description
This RM120 is an azimuth over elevation positioning mount with motorised
polarisation control.
All axis feature simple and very robust 24V DC motor drives giving reliable, low
backlash, high and low speed motion controlled by either a jog controller or a fully
auto-pointing controller.
The optical layout is a dual offset Gregorian antenna which naturally produces
cross polarisation patterns which easily meet the 29-25 log theta requirement.
The bearings are sealed for life items that allow for highly accurate motion but
require no maintenance.
A manual over ride is provided for both azimuth and elevation axis to enable
stowing the antenna due to power or other failure.
The RF power amplifier(s) can be fitted either inside the cover, onto the framework
via mounting brackets or inside the vehicle itself.
System weight (without the RF) is 95 kg.
2. Installation and Set-up
The RM120 has been fully tested with the controller prior to shipment.
All position feedback, limit switches and motor speeds have been calibrated or set
at the factory and require no adjustment.
The positioner should be secured to the vehicle via sturdy brackets (See
addendum 1) attached between the exposed framework on the sides of the
antenna base framework and the vehicle roof gutters with the slide nuts provided
then connecting wave guide or HPA cables, connecting coax, control cable to
controller and power cables.
The vehicle roof structure should be stiff enough to prevent no more than a 0.5 dB
of TX gain loss in a 30mph gusting to 45mph wind.
Remove the lid and end sections of the shipping crate, adjust forklift forks to
roughly 1m apart or as wide as they will safely go if this cannot be achieved.

Once suitable brackets are available (see attached drawing) these should be fitted
to the antenna roughly in the positions shown on the interface drawing with the
slide nuts provided.
Slings or ropes capable of withstanding the weight of the antenna (95kg) should
then be attached to the brackets, looped over the forks of the forklift and clamped
onto the forks to prevent them slipping off.
Raise the antenna to clear the vehicle roof by a minimum of 0.5m and manoeuvre
to the rear of the vehicle.
Whilst ensuring all cables are clear of mounting points, lower the positioner onto
the vehicle roof and line up all mounting holes.
Apply Loctite 242 or similar to all bolts and tighten to a torque of 13 – 15 Nm.
Direction of vehicle travel.
Antenna to be fitted facing this direction.

3. IPoint ACU Controller Installation
Install controller into electronics rack and attach control cable ensuring it is
securely and fully pushed into its connector.
User Interface Unit (UIU)
The antenna controller may be operated directly from the front panel of the User
Interface Unit (UIU), a hand held controller or via a remote control link.
A Graphical User Interface (GUI) program is provided. This runs under Windows
2000 or Windows XP on any standard PC and communicates with the Ipoint ACU
via the remote control port on the front panel of the UIU.
A serial interface cable which connects from the UIU RJ11 connector to a standard
9 way female serial connector is provided with the UIU. This is wired to plug
directly into a standard 9 way D-type serial port on a PC.
The UIU only implements direct user comands.
• It allows the operator to select the reference and target satellites from the
existing list and to command Deploy.
• It allows the user to define the Final Pol and Final LNB settings following the
deploy and also allows direct control commands such as Standby, Jog,
Stow, Switch pol or Switch LNB. A complete list is given below.
The UIU does not allow the user to change parameters or to add or modify data in
the satellite database. These operations can be performed via the GUI.

A typical auto-pointing usage sequence would be:
Ensure that satellite channel data exists for a number of locally visible satellites
including the required reference and, preferably, the target satellites. Data does not
need to exist for the target, but, if it is available, it allows confirmation that the
correct satellite has been acquired.
Note that if the UIU is to be used for selecting the Reference and Target satellites,
then those satellites must appear in the first 10 slots of satellite data Ensure that
the reference and target satellites are as required and that the final pol and final
LNB settings match the settings required to access the satellite after acquisition.
Command Deploy (from the UIU or GUI).
For manual or JOG functions
Accessing JOG ANTENNA puts the system into manual jog mode and the Az and
El axes can be jogged using the ^, v,> and < keys. Pressing enter again will toggle
the mode between (Az & El jog) and (Polarisation axis jog (using > and < keys)). If
the enter key is pressed while a ^, v, > or < key is already active then the speed will
change to fast.
This is not a latching function and the speed will revert to slow as soon as the enter
key is released. Clear will take the system back out of Jog mode.
4. Maintenance
The antenna should be fully visually inspected at the point of installation and
periodically there after at intervals of not more than 1 year. As the drives require no
maintenance or adjustment this procedure simply involves ensuring there are no
worn or damaged cables, that the waveguide is not damaged or perished and that
all fasteners are present and tightened to the correct torque level.
5. Spares and Replacement Parts
Since no maintenance is required, only electrical parts are recommended as
spares. These parts will not fail from activity, but may fail from environmental
exposure.
