Dawnco 8060 Series Operating instructions

The VS61FAE 6.1 Meter Earth Station Antenna
features corrugated conical feed horns to ensure excellent
antenna gain and sidelobe performance. Sixteen high-
strength aluminum panels are durable enough to withstand
a range of environmental conditions. Antenna panels
mount to radial trusses attached to a central hub.
The VS61FAE hub also provides a enclosure for sensitive
electronics. high-strength structural steel tripod
mount employs an elevation-over-azimuth geometry for
easy pointing to any satellite within the visible orbital arc.
Rugged construction provides pointing
accuracy for continuous operation, even under adverse
wind conditions.
TheVS61FAE includes a galvanized structural steel tripod
mount with a continuous 115° of motorized azimuth
coverage in three overlapping sectors. An optional
TORQUETUBE™ configuration adds continuous 180°
motorized azimuth coverage.
