1.17 Tiltmast Settings
The tiltmast positioner is a combination of minimum two devices:
• mast with up/down and hor./vert. movement (polarization)
• + elevation unit with tilt up/down movement
or (optional)
• mast + elevation unit (as above)
• + slider with forwards/backwards movement
The device is able to automatically correct the antenna elevation.
This occurs in relation to:
• object height
• antenna height
• antenna length
• measurement distance
When a mast with "Auto-Tilt" function is connected, the following screen will be shown.
Figure 1.23: Main Display
Notes below the device name indicate, whether the respective function is activated.
e.g. "AUTO-TILT" or/and "ANT-PROT" will be shown when active.
First, the actual height is shown.
Above, you can see wether "ANT-REF-H." or "MAST-HEIGHT" is activated.
Second, the actual polarization is shown. (hor./vert.)
Third, the actual degree of elevation is shown.
By pressing the "H/V" button, the polarization axis will be switched.
Pressing the Menu Wheel lets you switch between height and elevation.
