Standard Model 100 Antenna Positioner
Built to the very highest standards, the Model 100 is the standard version of the positioner from the All Weather Antenna Positioner family.
It has been designed to operate with reflectors of up to 2m in diameter. The positioner can cover 'whole sky' and can be used for surveillance, tracking and SIGINT as well as other signal/tracking purposes.

Features
- Can operate with reflectors of up to 2m in diameter.
- Other feeds, including RHCP & LHCP, and different reflector sizes can be supplied.
- Available with an extra locking
button on the elevation, designed to lock the yoke vertically when
using the positioner in high wind situations.
- Equipped with brakes on all axes in case of power failure.
- A Servo Controller Unit is used for each axis. The positioner is controlled via a single RS232 connection which is primarily designed to be controlled by our Graphic User Interface (GUI). Other interfaces such as USB, Network and Handheld controllers are available on request.
- Positioner can also be fitted with heaters, Peltier coolers and/or air dryer, if required for demanding weather conditions.
