Chapter 8:  Service & maintenance

98-137654-A

This module is positioned near the service switch at the bottom 
of the pedestal. It converts the GPS satellite signals into current 
position data.

2. Television Interface Module (TIM).

The purpose of the TIM is to interface between the ADU coaxial 
cable carrying several signals (DC, modem, RX IF) 
and the cable to the LNB, and the PCM. The TIM takes the 
received L-band transponder signal from the LNB and forwards it 
to the ACU.
For tracking purposes the TIM has a DVB-S/S2 demodulator for 
tracking the TV satellites. For narrow-band signal or non-DVB 
tracking the TIM also has a power detector as signal strength 
indicator. The TIM also has a PSU for the external LNB. 
The TIM consists of the following blocks:
• Power supply block for on board circuits, supply to PCM board 

and regulated external output to LNB (with band switching).

• DVB-S/S2 tracking receiver with tuner and demodulator 

including wide band signal detector and narrow band channel 
detector.

• LNB Receive signal down converter with mixer and PLL.

• FPGA section to control the functions of the TIM including DVB 

transport stream decoding.

• Filters for splitting and combining the DC, modem, received 

down converted IF from the LNB.

3. DC-Motor Driver Module for cross elevation (DDM).

The DDM shall - based on inputs from the PCM - control the 
torque delivered by the brush-less DC-motors (BLDCM), used to 
control the position of the parabolic reflector.
The DDM board is:
• Communication slave of the ADU Serial-Bus (S-Bus) 

connecting the DC-motor Driver Modules (DDM), the 
Polarization Motor Module (PMM), the Inertial Sensor Module 
(ISM) and the Pedestal Control Module (PCM).

• Connection to the BLDCM, and delivering the required phase 

current to the motor. 

• Decoding the HALL-sensor input from the Zero Reference 

Module (ZRM).

• Decoding the input from the Optical Rotary Encoder (ORE).

• Incorporating a break function when not powered.

4. Cross elevation motor and encoder.
