Item to Inspect: 85823-2 - EMCO 1050 Antenna Positioning Controller

More Information

EMCO 1050 Antenna Positioning Controller Overview

Features:

  • GPIB Host Interface Control
  • User Front Panel Controls
  • Antenna Carrier Control Switches
  • Remote / Local Interface Controls
The EMCO 1050 / 1051 Antenna Positioning Controller includes a digital readout in centimeters and two adjustable electronic limits. The controller is attached to the motor assembly using an eight conductor cable and a four conductor cable. The eight conductor cable provides power and directional control for the mast. This cable also provides polarization control when this option is furnished. The four conductor cable provides position information from the mast to the controller. Power to the controller is applied through the filtered three pin power inlet located on the rear panel. Mains voltage selection should be made prior to connection.

The 1050 / 1051 controller is a relative position indicator. It is for this reason that it is important to properly set the mechanical limits to prevent over travel of the antenna carrier. This also means that the position of the antenna carrier must be measured and entered into the controller as the "current position" when first powered on.

The EMCO 1050 Antenna Positioning Controller may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
