When all this has been completed connect the interface box to AC power. Please refer to section 2 for
information concerning the AC hookup.
5.0 RC2000 Software Configuration
The RC2000 stores certain parameters and configuration data in non-volatile memory. These parameters
are viewed and modified via the controller’s CONFIG mode and are referred to as CONFIG mode items.
Some CONFIG mode items contain information which optimize the controller’s auto move algorithms to
the electromechanical drive system employed by the antenna. Other CONFIG mode items signal the
controller as to what type of equipment the RC2000 is interfaced with. The values assigned to the following
CONFIG mode items are appropriate for the EASi 4.5 meter. For more information on the purpose of these
CONFIG mode items please consult the RC2000 antenna controller manual.

Comments
AutoPol Enable 0 - DISABLE AutoPol disabled.
Simultaneous Az/El
Enable
1 - ENABLE The RC2K90INT-2E supports simultaneous azimuth and
elevation movement.
Azim Slow Speed 254 A slow speed value of 254 disables the RC2000’s pulse width
modulation based slow speed system. Failure to properly
configure this CONFIG mode item can result in damage to
the interface box.
Elev Slow Speed 254 A slow speed value of 254 disables the RC2000’s pulse width
modulation based slow speed system. Failure to properly
configure this CONFIG mode item can result in damage to
the interface box.
Rotating Feed Present 1 - YES When this CONFIG mode item is set to one, the controller
assumes that a 3 wire servo type polarization control device is
not present and the former polarotor output become the
FAST/SLOW speed control. The RC2K90INT-2E system
assumes the use of a 24VDC-type rotating feed with
potentiometer position feedback. The RC2000 must have the
RC2KPOL option installed.
Az/El Drive Options
Enable
1 - ENABLE When this CONFIG mode item is enabled the user has access
to the Az/El Fast Slow Threshold, ‘Auto Retry Attempts,
‘Fast and Slow Deadband, Azim and Elev Coast Thresholds,
and Azim and Elev Max Position Error CONFIG Mode
items.
Az/El Auto Retry
Attempts
X The controller will make this number of attempts to get
within ‘Max Position Error counts of a target position.
Az/El Fast Deadband X milliseconds The controller will allow this number of milli-Seconds for the
antenna to coast to a stop. If RUNAWAY errors occur the
value of this parameter can be set to this number plus 1 to
disable the accumulation of counts when the antenna is not
commanded to move or is not coasting to a stop. This will
