RCI RC1500 Tracking/Remote Controlled Antenna Controller For Single Axis Antennas
The Research Concepts, Inc. RC1500 is a single axis satellite antenna controller which is designed to interface to antennas powered by 36 volt DC actuators with built-in limit switches and pulse type position sensors. The RC1500 was designed to provide years of reliable operation
through the use of a heavy duty solid-state drive network coupled with a novel microcontroller-based fault monitoring system. The 5 amp rated drive output capability is adequate for either moving feed trackers or full-size linear actuators and the Adapti-Drive digital servo speed control optimizes antenna movement for today’s demanding Ku-band applications. Additional features like an RS-422 communications port for PC control and a very userfriendly, menu scheme make the RC1500 a unique and highly adaptable piece of equipment. Overall, the RC1500 is well
equipped to handle the demanding requirements for cost sensitive domestic and international inclined-orbit satellite tracking.
