3.2.2.1 Deploy
The DEPLOY mode automatically moves to the mount’s predefined “deploy” position. See appendix B for
the list of deploy positions for the various mounts supported. The deploy command requires an explicit
confirmation in order to initiate antenna movement.
Pressing the BKSP key will initiate the DEPLOY movement. If the DEPLOY mode was inadvertently
entered, pressing the Mode key will return to the MENU mode without initiating antenna movement.
AZIM: 0.0 ( 0.0) DEPLOY
ELEV: -42.1 ( 22.3)
POL: -56.7 ( 0.0)
MOVING TO (DEPLOY)
As each axis moves, its label (AZIM/ELEV/POL) will flash and the current position will update. The target
deploy positions will be displayed in parenthesis. The sequence of axis movement will be mount
dependent.
Following completion of movement to the deploy position, the RC3000 will return to MANUAL mode. The
automatic movement may be terminated anytime by pressing the Stop key.
The azimuth, elevation and polarization deploy positions are defined in the Stow/Deploy configuration
screen (3.3.1.3.10).
