Operation
MD-01 Controller may be operated from the front panel keyboard or a
computer connected to one of the Communication ports.
MD-01 Controller has two modes (MODE).
• NORMAL – normal mode.
• MOTOR ANGLES – calibration mode.
To change the mode, use the [F] key.
Normal mode (NORMAL)
In this mode, the Controller may be operated with the [Right], [Left], [Up]
and [Down] buttons or receive commands from a Computer. The Controller
supports communications protocols such as SPID ROT1, SPID ROT2, and YAESU
which can be assigned to any communications port (COM 0, COM 1, USB D and
ETH) in the settings. YAESU mode may not support the full capability of
AlfaSpid
rotators.
The [Right] and [Left] buttons are used to rotate the antenna in the
azimuth.
The right direction – the antenna turns in a clockwise direction, the value
of the angle in the display increases.
The left direction – the antenna turns in an anticlockwise direction, the
value of the angle in the display decreases.
The [Up] and [Down] buttons are used to rotate the antenna in the
elevation.
The up direction – the rotator turns right from the point of view of the
front. The value of the angle in the display increases.
The down direction – the rotator turns left from the point of view of the
front. The value of the angle in the display decreases.
The directions of antenna rotation are shown in the picture:
