6. INSTALLATION
Introduction The INTRAC-305 Intelligent Tracking Antenna Controller is a
direct physical replacement for the Andrew APC300 Antenna
Steptrack Controller. All that is required for the installation is
to remove the APC300 and replace it with the INTRAC-305
and then set-up the INTRAC-305 for the antenna system.
This section provides information on connections and set-up.
The INTRAC-305 requires that certain parameters be set and
certain information be input before it will be able to function
correctly. Some of this information can be obtained from the
APC300 but some will need to be obtained from other
sources. The chart below gives the parameters required by
the INTRAC-305. Four items under “Fitted Options” should
be set to “Not Fitted” (as indicated) as they are not applicable
to APC300 systems. For more information on these settings
see section 3-Operation of this manual.
