19.4 Executing a Self Test Movement for a Device
Andrew’s ATM200 actuators support the AISG self test command. This feature allows the user to
periodically perform a test by temporarily making a small tilt angle movement on the device. This
test enables the user to verify that the actuator’s motor is operational and capable of adjusting elec-
trical tilt on the antenna. The movement executed as part of the self test is designed to be so small
as to not disrupt the current data/voice traffic. The movement is +/- 0.2 degrees to either side of the
current downtilt angle, with a return to the original downtilt angle at the end of the movement.
Note that if the current downtilt angle on the antenna is sufficiently close to the minimum or maxi-
mum possible angle, the actuator may modify the test movement range of motion or ignore the test
movement command altogether.
1. To perform a self test on a device, click on the de-
vice in the Device Information list (Figure 19-1).
2. Click Self Test to initiate movement (Figure 19-1).
3. At the completion of the self test, a pop-up notifi-
cation will appear showing the results of the test
(Figure 19-5).
4. Click OK to dismiss the self test results pop-
up notification (Figure 19-5).
19.3 Clearing All Alarms on a Device
After examining the alarms status results, any alarms found may be cleared using the Clear Alarms
button (Figure 19-1).
1. Click on the device in the Device Information list that
has an alarm to be cleared.
2. Click on the Clear Alarms button to clear any current
alarms that have been declared by the device.
3. After all alarms have been cleared for the device, a
pop-up notification will display to notify the user that all
alarms are clear (Figure 19-4).
4. Click OK to dismiss the Clear Alarms pop-up notifica-
tion (Figure 19-4).
