SCANTER 1002 Radar System
User’s Manual
1255194-HO
With "Antenna" it is possible to switch on and off the antenna motor. To the right is
shown the actual antenna rotation speed in RPM.
With "Tx" it is possible to switch on and off the transmitter. To the right is shown the
status of the transmitter (transmitting, stand by, etc.).
"Sector Tx" switches on and off the sector transmission and will affect all sectors
enabled.
“Force Active” is for use in redundant systems only, i.e. in SCANTER 1002 this but-
ton is dimmed.
“Exclusive Access” is used for requesting ‘master control mode’ of the radar. This
mode allows the user to gain exclusive access to the radar, i.e. lock the configura-
tion parameters for sole use. Master control mode is defined in the parameter ‘Mas-
ter Control Mode’ and can have the values ‘Disabled’, Optional’ or ‘Mandatory’. If
the parameter is set to ‘Optional’ or ‘Disabled’, the user must request master control
mode before being able to change configuration parameters. If set to ‘Disabled’,
exclusive access cannot be requested and the button will be dimmed. Exclusive
access can be released by pressing the button.
The “Radar Control” view - Sensitivity tab (
Fig. 5.13 (p. 36)
) is used for auto adjus-
ment tracker sensitivity for surface and air channels.
Note: Manual adjustment is not supported for SCANTER 1002.
