7. SYSTEM OPERATING PROCEDURES
A. GENERAL - This subsection presents the procedures required to operate the equipment in each of its three
modes of operation and accomplish each unique operation feature. The AZ ORIENT control on the Antenna Control
Power Supply should be set as follows prior to actual system operation.
(1) AZ ORIENT -Position to compensate for any misalignment of the Antenna System to true north or a
selected reference point. Record the position of this control.
B. MANUAL MODE OF OPERATION
(1) Perform the initial turn-on procedures contained in paragraph 4.A of this section.
(2) Rotate the azimuth and/or elevation handwheels to the desired position.
C. SLAVE MODE OF OPERATION
(1) Perform the initial turn-on procedure contained in paragraph 4.A of this section.
(2) Position the antenna in the approximate azimuth and/or elevation direction of the slaving source with the
azimuth and/or elevation handwheels.
(3) Set the MODE SELECT switch, S2, to the SLAVE position. Observe illumination of DS6, the AZIMUTH
MODE SLAVE indicator light. The slaving source should now have full command of the system.
D. SCAN MODE OF OPERATION
(1) Perform the initial turn-on procedures contained in paragraph 4.A of this section.
(2) With the MODE SELECT switch, S2, in the MANUAL position, rotate the azimuth and elevation
handwheels to position the antenna to the azimuth angle about which it is desired to scan, as indicated on the TRUE
AZIMUTH and TRUE ELEVATION digital counters.
(3) Rotate the SCAN CONTROL GAIN adjustment, R2, full CCW.
(4) Rotate the SCAN CONTROL SECTOR adjustment, R3, full CCW.
(5) Set the MODE SELECT switch, S2, to the SCAN position. Observe illumination of DS8, the AZIMUTH
MODE SCAN indicator light.
