The RC1500 was designed to provide years of reliable operation through the use of a heavy duty solid-state drive network coupled with a novel microcontroller-based fault monitoring system. The 10 amp rated drive output capability is adequate for either moving feed trackers or full-size linear actuators and the Adapti-Drive digital servo speed control optimizes antenna movement for today's demanding Ku-band applications. Additional features like an RS-422 communications port for PC control and a very user-friendly, menu scheme make the RC1500 a unique and highly adaptable piece of equipment. Overall, the RC1500 is well equipped to handle the demanding requirements for cost sensitive domestic and optionally international inclined-orbit satellite tracking.
